snoop1130 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 From today (Thursday), passengers who make online advance bookings for train tickets, through the D-Ticket website of the State Railway of Thailand or through its application, must pay for the tickets with their credit or debit cards. Passengers can, however, still make advance bookings at all train stations with cash, if they do not have or do not want to use their cards. The SRT explained that it decided to require passengers to pay for tickets when they book online because many do not show up to claim their tickets they booked within 30 days, resulting in other passengers losing the opportunity to travel.

The Old Bull Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 They must have a good union because online booking costs ฿250 more than going to a station to book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 What, no PromptPay QR code payment option? That would surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwest5829 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Recently ordered tickets for the end of March as I am timing to coordinate with a Bangkok international flight. As Thai Rail will not allow booking more than a month in advance, I thought it best to use a business to order the tickets. Wish me luck that the reasoning pays off in getting the tickets.
