The price you pay for ETS train tickets depends on what type of train you take (Gold ones are the cheapest) and under the KTM Flexi Fare rules, how far in advance you book and if you are travelling during a "Peak" or "Off-Peak" time of the day, day of the week or time of the year.

If you are crossing the border from Thailand into Malaysia and want to travel by one of the long-distance ETS trains, we would always recommend you buy your tickets in advance before you arrive at Padang Besar railway station as ETS trains can sometimes be fully booked during busy times of the year and you don't want to be stuck at the border waiting for hours for the next available seat.
