Which station do you leave from?
The station on your ticket is the one you need — in this country the main station and the secondary one are often far apart, and a ticket for one is not valid at the other.
Before you travel
What catches people out on Bangkok (Thon Buri) → Kanchanaburi, and on this railway generally.
Bangkok moved its long-distance station
Since 2023 most long-distance trains leave from Krung Thep Aphiwat (Bang Sue), not the old Hua Lamphong station. Both are in Bangkok and 12 km apart — check which one your ticket names.
Sleeper prices depend on the berth
A lower berth costs more than an upper one, and first class is a private two-berth cabin rather than a wider seat. The new #9 train has first-class cabins; older trains do not.
First-class cabins go first
Sales open about 60 days ahead. On popular dates the first-class cabins on the overnight trains are gone within minutes, while second-class berths last longer.
Foreign cards are often rejected
The national railway site routinely declines non-Thai cards. We buy on your behalf with local payment methods, which is the main reason to book through us rather than direct.

Which station do the trains leave from on this date?
On this date, departures leave from Bangkok (Thon Buri). Check the station printed on your ticket rather than the city name — larger cities can have more than one station, and they are not within walking distance of each other.
Do I need a printed ticket?
No. We book on your behalf and send you an e-confirmation before departure. Carry the same passport you booked with, since that is what staff check on board, and keep the confirmation on your phone.
How far in advance can I book?
Tickets open about 60 days before departure, and this page only shows dates inside that window. Popular dates and holiday periods sell out early, so book as soon as your date appears.
What should I know before booking this route?
This is an overnight line and sleeper berths are priced by position: a lower berth costs about 100 THB more than an upper. First-class private cabins run only on train 9. SRT releases seats at 08:30 Thai time, and on popular dates the cabins are gone within minutes — tell us your date in advance and we book at release.
