How to Buy Train Tickets in Thailand 2026 – Richard Barrow's Thai Train Guide thaitrainguide.com

In the past, if you wanted to book train tickets, you had to go to your local railway station. However, this wasn’t useful for people who lived outside of Thailand and wanted to buy tickets in advance of coming here on a holiday. Some tourists also had a communication problem at smaller stations that didn’t often see foreign tourists. The good news is that you now have a variety of ways of buying train tickets online.

Options for buying train tickets online in Thailand:

D-Ticket (Official site)
SRT D-Ticket App: App Store or Google Play
12Go Thailand (travel agency)
Baolau (travel agency)

PLEASE NOTE: Long distance trains on the Northern, Northeastern, and Southern lines leave from “Krung Thep Aphiwat”. If you enter “Bangkok” as your origin it might then say “no data found”. Local and commuter trains, including tourist trains and trains on the Eastern Line, go from Bangkok Station (Hua Lamphong). You need to type “Bangkok” as your departure station for these trains.
