You will need to reserve a seat to travel on any ETS train in Malaysia and *advance booking is highly recommended as trains can often be fully booked weeks in advance.
The easiest way to book your seats is online (especially if you are travelling from Thailand).
If you use the official KTM website to make your booking, you will pay the same as the counter price.
You can also use an online agent but you will have to pay a small commission.

If you do not want to book online, you will have to visit any ETS station in Malaysia where you can purchase your tickets from the station's ticket counter.
This can sometimes take quite a long time (especially at KL Sentral Station where you will first have to take a number, then wait for your number to be called to be served).
*Advance train tickets can be available for various periods ahead.
You can often buy tickets 2 or 3 months in advance.
However, during some periods of the year tickets will only be available a few weeks in advance as KTM make fairly regular changes to the ETS timetable.
