Train into Trang

There are two trains running daily from Bangkok to Trang. The service was a state-owned business previously, so don't expect a classy service – however, the standard of cleanliness is good and the price fair.

The first class train has separate cubicles with 2 seats in each one. The seats convert to beds at night with hygienically packed pillow and sheets provided. The lower berth is priced at around 1,400 baht and the upper at 1,200 baht.

The second class carriages come with a choice of Air-con or fan. The seats convert to beds as in first class, also with pillow and sheets supplied. The lower bed price is around 700 baht, the upper around 600 baht. The Fan cabin price is slightly cheaper than that for Air-con.

There is restaurant cabin on the train supplying food and drink - you can order the food to be brought to your seat or stretch your legs and walk to restaurant cabin. The prices are fair for standard fare. To experience some local flavour, try buying the food from the vendors who step aboard at different stations, and the fruit-sellers at the windows.
