simon43 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'm in Bangkok for a few days next week, and I have to go to to Pak Chong to collect a package. It looks like an easy way to achieve this is to take the train (takes 3-4 hours), meet my friend at Pak Chong railway station with the parcel, and then go back on the train to Bangok. Which Bangkok railway station do these trains leave from? Is it Hualamphong? Do I have to pre-book a ticket? (Maybe difficult from my base in Myanmar). Or can I just buy the (first class) ticket before I get on the train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 You can get the train from Hualamphong or any of the stations going north. You can buy the tickets online here or to check the schedule. https://www.thairailwayticket.com/eTSRT/Default.aspx?language=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoePai Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 To save a trip would it not be easier to ask your friend to pop the package on a bus ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asanee Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Oh-all those hopeless optimistic and always prasing these iron monsters dreamy TV-users. Reckon to have to spend all day just to perform this. As most trains to there are the dead slow rot thammada (hard seats 3d cl, free for Thai), also always hours late, and just a few stopping there. Get on a bus-do it in less as 3 hrs, runs ev 15/20 mins, or as above: have friend send it by bus to the bus-office in Mochit to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Unlike you, I have reasonable confidence in Thai Railways, (having travelled on them on many occasions). I've booked to take the Express service train up to Pak Chong and then return to Bangkok by private taxi (friend of the person in Pak Chong). I need to collect the equipment personally - it is a radio transmitter - don't want it to go 'missing'. Edited July 19, 2017 by simon43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
