Train Scehdule

[SHAIFA]

Hello all, I am landing in Bangkok on july4th 2007 at 1140pm. I would like to immediately get onto a train to start my journey over to Nong Khai, where I will be staying. Does anyone know the train schedule - I am afraid that trying to get on a train around midnight may be too late for anything promising. Am I right? I need to know so that if necessary I can just book a night in a hostel and make my journey over in the morning instead. If anyone knows the train scehdule, or a helpful website I would greatly appreciate!!! Also, how does ticket buying work - that is, I just go to the station and am guaranteed a ticket? Might they all be sold out? Please, helpp!Thanks!

Hi,

according to my time table (from Hua Lamphong station, dated 10 January 2550) there are three trains from Bangkok to Nongkhai:

train nb. 77: departure Hua Lamphong 18:30 hrs, arrival Nongkhai 5.05 hrs

train nb. 133: dep. HL 18:40 hrs, arrival Nongkhai 7:35 hrs

train nb 69: dep. HL 20:45 hrs, arrival Nongkhai 9:10 hrs THIS IS THE ONLY TRAIN WITH SLEEPERS!!!!

another choice: train nb. 75: dep. HL 8:20 hrs, arrival Udorn Thani 18:10 hrs. You will have to continue by bus or taxi.

Buses seem to be the better option, they leave I think at 15 min interval from Mochit Bus terminal.

The arrival times are to be taken with a huuuuuge grain of salt!

if you GOOGLE state railway of thailand you will find a time table.but at that time of night you would be better spending a night in Bangkok and going by train next day, then if you cannot book a train you can go by bus
