chado Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 how can I buy a ticket to a train, is it possible to do that on the official website ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The train station for certain... Supposedly, they were to have upgraded the online capabilities for purchasing, but there will probably be a processing fee....At the station you have to show your ID for all passengers....Not sure about online....

honu Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 after a little clicking around it looks like this is the official State Railway of Thailand site: http://www.railway.co.th/home/default.aspx?ID=&lang=EN this is the official purchase portal site, which that site links to: https://www.thairailwayticket.com/eTSRT/default.aspx?language=1 this is a separate third-party information site (which does also link to the official sales portal, a good sign), but there seem to be a number of those: http://www.train36.com/book-train-tickets-in-thailand-online.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honu Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm not on Thaivisa all that often, but it's not as if I book tickets through that site so I've got it all figured out, I just passed on some ideas from looking around. The one did have a book a ticket button, but I'm not sure about limitations, or the process details. Another site I didn't mention said you can only book tickets originating from Bangkok or Chiang Mai, as I recall, but then since they've been adjusting the website functions and process that may not be right, or might never have been correct.
