londonthai Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 the best would be a sleeper train to KL - no need to change. Those need to be booked in advance. you can try a bus to hua hin and from here a plane or minibus to the malaysian border to get the malaysian trains from there.

torrenova Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Train the way to go but likely to be full, it takes forever and the airport is only closed until 18:00 on 29th at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
