Train 171 departs Daily from the new Bang Sue Grand Station in Bangkok.
All times shown in the schedule above are departure times.
Arrival times are a minute or two earlier.
Seat and Bed Classes Available:
This Rapid service has a choice of either 2nd class air-conditioned sleeper coaches or 2nd class fan sleeper coaches.
2nd class sleeper seatsThe fan carriages offer the best value for your money and can be up to 200 Baht cheaper than the air-con carriages, depending on the distance travelled.
The larger (wider) lower berths come at a premium to the much narrower upper berths but are worth the little extra money, but they do sell out first, so book early if you can, especially during the peak season and other public holidays in Thailand.
Also available on this service are 2nd and 3rd class fan cooled seater coaches.
These are fine for short journeys and are a very cheap way to travel.
For longer journeys the extra few hundred Baht for a sleeping berth is well worth it.
2nd Class Fan Seats
3rd Class Fan SeatsTicket Prices
