Hi!

We've compared prices of train tickets of Dticket, Baolau and 12Go.

• Dticket is the official booking platform from SRT. It makes you register and it's not super user-friendly.
• Baolau is a private company offering e-tickets adding a small fee for ticket.
• 12GO is another private booking platform that offers paper tickets (also some e-tickets in some cases) also adding a fee.

Here you have an example of the prices of the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai:

Thailand has been making headlines about its opening and entry conditions during the whole pandemic.

While the government was fine at first containing the pandemic (or, perhaps, it was a bit of luck), the announcements about the country’s borders have created nothing but false hope and frustration for people planning to travel to Thailand.

However, now it seems that they are very serious about the new plan. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is pushing very hard its opening plan, starting on July 1 in Phuket. It seems that only the signature of the Prime Minister is needed for the plan to go ahead. The governor of TAT, Thailand’s top tourism leader, is optimistic that the Thai Prime Minister will sign the opening of Phuket in June.

From InThailand.Travel we believe that this time they are serious and that Phuket will be open to vaccinated travelers from July 1.

In fact, yesterday 27th of May the TAT Governor sent a letter to their Tourism Industry partners confirming that the plan is going ahead.
