Train to BKK times? And purchase online? Agent?

[banagan]

I'm looking online at train timetables to BKK... Some sites I see up to 18:00, and some up to 21:00 ????

 

Does anyone know a reliable source to find train timetables?

 

Is it possible to purchase online? (I'm guessing no)

 

Is it possible to purchase at a travel agent, Nimmen area? Maya? Or somewhere close by.... or can they only be purchased at the station?

OP, This has all the information you might want and more. It is my first stop when I need train information: Seat61.com

 

And yes, you can purchase tickets online from the link in CNXBKKMAN's post. Have done it often.

You might wish to book based on the type of train being used. The earlier train I used was one of the new made in China trains and though it had hard seats, was OK. The late train I went on was one of the old trains. Both were second class sleepers. It hadn't been maintained ( probably as being phased out ) and the AC caught fire at 9pm. Everyone in my carriage had to either complete the journey in 3rd class, or wait 2 days till seats were available on another train.

Not my most enjoyable train trip in LOS.
