thailandbeachisland Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hello, I wonder how much people would accept to pay to use the Bkk Pattaya fast train if it was available now ? How much for 1 way ? Thank you for your ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briboy Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) so are you going to set up a scam to encourage "investors" to construct a line so as to skim, the same as the govt. Edited January 19, 2014 by briboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomSand Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) THB 345.67 Edited January 19, 2014 by RandomSand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wym Posted January 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2014 There should be short-time cabins and a BJ bar-car, add B500 to the regular fare. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomSand Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 THB 345.67 I there was a van outside my door in Pattaya, and the traffic in Bangkok wasn't bad, then I might not care for the train at any price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailandbeachisland Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 I hope you will all be punished and have to pay at least 1000 Thb to use this train ! Just because you didn't reply correctly to my message ! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBD Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Bus costs around 150THB and takes ~2 hours so I'd be loathed to pay much more than 250, though if it was right outside my house/office then I'd easily go 300 THB to be there in an hour, 500 THB at a push. Really I don't think it makes much sense for a journey that short. If I could get to Khon Kaen in 3 hours then I wouldn't bother with flying, so that would be an easy 1500 THB.

RandomSand Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 A similar journey in the UK would be Brighton to London. £17.00 * 50 = THB 850. Ouch, and that not even a super high speed train like the one proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post drx13 Posted January 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2014 There already is one I use it regularly, 35 baht, takes 4 hours, which is faster than my normal method of travel..push bike. Actually it can travel VERY fast but has to wait at some places. Reclining seats, actually collapsing, and hostess service, beer and all manner of Thai delicacies. Only problem is, as it nears Bangkok (Phyathai BTS), one has to share with nubile young college girls , who are apt to squash up on the seat with me to practise their English, most distressing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about this. Given the speed anything gets done here, all of us will be long since dead and buried before the first HSR runs in Thailand......how late was the Airport link in opening, and that was only 20km???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 From the airport I would be very interested to get on a fast/regular train that stopped in a few convenient locations on the north of Pattaya where I could be picked up. 500 baht for a ride under an hour would suit.... I guess it could go on to Bangkok after the airport going the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginglee Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I guess It's worth 300bht taking into account the cost of the bus. I pay 1,000 bht, airport to Patts in a nice Camry. After a 12 hour flight I couldn't get on a train or bus ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebrown Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would only buy a ticket on any future Thai High Speed train if it included Free Life Assurance, Accident Insurance and full reimbursement of the costs of Private Hospitalisation Care resulting from the inevitable derailment/accident!!

Ulic Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 BKK or DMK or Bangkok, if all locations had good convenient access I would pay up to 350 baht otherwise I would just use door to door taxi service as I currently do for 1,000- 1,100 baht.

canarysun Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I Think 200 Baht is the absolute limit! ( even that is expensive when the normal ordinary train from Pattaya to Bangkok is only 31 Baht ) and here is a photo that i took of the cool " Pattaya - Bangkok " Train .............

Carl64 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 You couldn't pay me enough to catch a train in Thailand. Especially a fast one. They can't even keep their slow trains on the tracks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 1/3 of 1000 baht if it is from the airport TERMINAL and runs every 20 mins. the question is where do you arrive in Pattaya? then more taxi and waiting? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie61 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) If SRT is involved, forget it. They would need to pay me....alot. If it was built by Chinese who have done it as a secret inter-government deal for a few million tons of rotting rice, still not convinced. If built and set up by Japanese, Germans or French, 295 baht. Edited January 22, 2014 by eddie61 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
