mart29 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Is this a relatively safe journey in terms of terrorism as it goes through the south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 It does not go through the provinces under martial law and is probably safer than most rail trips (closer checks than other lines - most train problems are accident rather than terrorist related).

lomatopo Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4385561.stm Haven't heard of any subsequent incidents since service was re-started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 That attack was not on the route to Penang (Butterworth). The lines split at Hat Yai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my friend I Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 It does not go through the provinces under martial law and is probably safer than most rail trips (closer checks than other lines - most train problems are accident rather than terrorist related). i thought the safety for trains was pretty good though? Is it a trip you would take? I take the train from Had Yai to Malaysia often. It seems safe to me. The HadYai station has good security. Its only about 30 minutes from there to the border.
