How to buy tickets
The easiest way to buy train tickets in Thailand is online rather than going to the station. You do pay a very small commission but the ease and convenience makes it worthwhile in our opinion.
Baolau is the best site to use for buying train tickets, they have access to the live Thai Railways booking engine, so you can easily see availability, timetables and prices.
Payment can be made using international credit cards and PDF confirmation tickets are sent to your email address within a few minutes. This is the actual ticket you need to board the train, so there’s no need to exchange it at the station before travel. You may prefer to print the pdf out, but it’s also fine to show it on your mobile phone to the conductors and station staff.
Tickets go on sale 30 days in advance, opening at 08:30 Thai time. For full details on booking windows, see the when to book Thailand train tickets guide.

About the route
The trains leave in a tight group, with departures at 16:11, 17:17, 17:47, 19:02, 20:37, 21:02 (two trains) and 21:30, which means that you travel in the evening and overnight, and there is nothing in the morning or middle of the day. The fastest are the Special Express trains, and all eight can be booked in advance.
Because Thung Song Junction is where the Nakhon Si Thammarat and Kantang lines meet the main line, it is a common place to join the northbound trains after a visit to the south. If you are not in a hurry, break the journey at Chumphon, which has trains throughout the day, and carry on the next morning.
