Hat Yai - Padang Besar train service


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

The very sad news is that the railway track between

Hat Yai and Padang Besar got bombed a few weeks

ago and that twice, killing 3 workers and injuring 4

others, which has stopped the train service now.

 

Would you please keep us posted on the updates

on the resumption of the train service?

 

Many thanks in advance!

Both train services No.947 and 949 are running to the same timetable but as a bus service until the line reopens.

Sorry if not 100% OT but do you know if the local bus from Hat Yai bus station to Padang Besar is still ruining?

Used to go every hour from early morning back before Corona if I remember correct.

I am assuming that passengers using the replacement shuttle bus will need to clear immigration at the road crossing (not immigration at the stations). I cannot find any confirmation that this is the case. Does anyone have definite information on this?

Yes, I was wondering how you could clear immigration,

too. You might end up having to walk between the

railway station and the road crossing. I'm not sure..

 

There is a local bus and/or mini-van that is still running

in the Hat Yai - Padang Besar section, I'd say.
