How do I book a ticket?

Enter where you are leaving from, where you are going and your travel date, then press Search. Pick a trip and press Book. You finish the booking and pay on Baolau, our booking partner.

Will I get my ticket by email?

Yes. After payment, Baolau sends your booking confirmation and e-ticket or voucher to your email. Some operators ask you to swap the voucher for a paper ticket at the counter; the email tells you what to do.

Do I need to print my ticket?

Most operators accept the ticket on your phone. A few ask for a printed copy or for you to check in at the counter. Read the instructions in your confirmation email.

How do I pay?

You pay on Baolau when you book. The payment methods you can use are shown at checkout.

Are there booking fees?

Prices on this site are per adult before booking fees. Any booking or payment fee is shown on Baolau before you pay.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Cancellations and changes follow the rules of each operator. Contact Baolau through the link in your confirmation email to ask for a change or refund.

How early should I arrive?

Arrive at least 30 minutes before departure at train stations and bus terminals, and 30 to 45 minutes before at ferry piers, so you have time to check in and find your seat.

Do children need a ticket?

Child fares depend on the operator and the age of the child. You can see the fares for each passenger when you book.

Are the times and prices up to date?

Search results show live times and prices for your date. Information on station and route pages comes from recent searches and can change, so always check your date before you travel.

Is this the official railway or bus company website?

No. We are an independent website that helps you compare and book. The trips are run by the State Railway of Thailand and private bus and ferry companies.
