Booking Train Tickets from Hat Yai to Bang Sue Central
For any long distance train in Thailand, it is always best to book your seats or sleeping berths in advance (unless you want to travel in 3rd class).
Tickets for this route are available to buy up to 90 days in advance.
You can buy tickets from any SRT railway station.
Or for a little extra, you can book tickets online >
Hat Yai Junction Railway Station has it's own advance booking office, but if you are arriving from Malaysia, you are better off buying tickets before you get to Hat Yai if you are travelling during the high season (November to April), as many trains will be sold out well in advance during this time.
