tolsti Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 A couple of friends are over at the moment and want to get a train from Surat Thani down to Malaysia. Can anyone recommend an agent where they can book/purchase tickets here on Phuket. Patong if at all possible. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 You could try the below website. I've never booked through them, but I was aware they existed. http://www.thailandtrainticket.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolsti Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 thanks NamKangMan,.... unfortunately they are closed until 2/1/2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 thanks NamKangMan,.... unfortunately they are closed until 2/1/2014 I did notice that, but just assumed your friends would be staying on Phuket for New Years Eve. If they are not selling tickets, maybe the trains do not run as often over the next few days. Where are they going in Malaysia? What about a boat? http://www.tigerlinetravel.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSabai Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 More info here: http://www.railway.co.th/home/default.aspx?ID=〈=EN# Thought I saw something about advanced tickets there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 thanks NamKangMan,.... unfortunately they are closed until 2/1/2014 This implies they have staff handling these bookings manually. Can you imagine an airline site closing for the holidays? Welcome to 21st Century Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evermaat Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 That other company is a 3rd party that either buys ticket for you and remail it or has a link/printer to book the tickets....and mail them. A better akternative imo is to buy online directly from thailand railway http://www.railway.co.th/NewSite/ .it's an extra 20-40 baht above what you would pay in the station. You pick your seats the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishIvan Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Book at least a week in advanced the train is always packed. Go first class too. It ain't too much difference from memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
