Good to know

Each train is a separate ticket. Book the first train, then the second train for the day it leaves.
Leave at least 2–3 hours to change trains. Long-distance trains, especially from the south, often run late, and a missed connection is not refunded.
Most long-distance trains in Bangkok use Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, so you usually change in the same building.
Times and fares come from our timetable and can change. The booking page shows the live times, seats and fares.

FAQ

Is there a direct train from Sungai Kolok to Surin?

No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.

What is the fastest way from Sungai Kolok to Surin by train?

Take SP38 at 14:15, change in Bangkok and continue on EX71. The whole trip takes about 26h 53m, including 1h 30m to change trains.

What is the cheapest train from Sungai Kolok to Surin?

From about 551 THB per adult in total, on SP38 and RP139 in the cheapest available class.

How much time should I leave to change trains?

At least one hour at the same station. Long-distance trains, especially from the south, are often late, so a wait of 2–3 hours is safer. If you change between Hua Lamphong and Krung Thep Aphiwat in Bangkok, allow extra time to cross the city.
