nong38 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Have you tried contacting the State Railways of Thailand? The web site might something like railway.co.th, speak to someone in Bangkok but I think it will be a while as I recall the line from Chiang Mai to well south of Lampang was closed for urgent repairs said to take 6 weeks, then there is the floods to factor in as well.

Popular Post Hedghog Posted October 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2013 It maybe a strange concept. You could try the airport,and travel in one of those miraculous machines that lift off the ground. I think they are called aeroplane,they will transport you at great speed.but at some expense. Failing that get a bus. No trains. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koratjohn Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Man this sounds like a wind up. Since you are willing to risk your life on the trains and they are currently not an option you might want to roll the dice and try the bus which is just as risky. You are not too far from the bus station. I actually thought the State Railways had coordinated buses to get everyone linked up to the trains (south of the repair work)?

slipperylobster Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I love my job on the railroad. You know laying railroad ties. If all goes well, I should be finished tomorrow morning, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estrada Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 You are not sitting on Chiangmai Station. This is a wind up, better saved for April Fools day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Card Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 "........they say maybe tomorrow". They would wouldn't they? They are having a laugh watching you return every day - typically Thai, especially train staff - don't believe a word they say. I would take a bus - I do anyway - been up to CM many times and always by VIP bus and always during the day - a great way to travel and never had an accident yet, and only 2 breakdowns in 8 years (the bus, not me).

Do you have a link to the VIP Bus you use? I will probably end up flying but would like to check it out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The request was obviously genuine from someone wanting some advice that was not available to him, for whatever reason. Smart replies such as this are a shame to the majority of great help here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all genuine. A troll. No one is going to return to a train station for more than 14 days and not be able to figure out what is happening.
