You would assume with the money the Thai train service spends on their website that they would make it easy for foreigners to book train tickets on line for the Thai trains.
Well they do but the link is hard to find.
It does not show on the google linked page but from the Thai side of the site. http://www.railway.co.th/ The right link is ...
http://www.thairailwayticket.com/Default.aspx?language=1 (is at present not offering tickets)
This is the real official Thai railroad ticket site. It is not a re-seller.
So how to book Thailand train tickets on line go there.
The State Railway of Thailand has a great past, at present it needs improvement, but with luck and wisdom of the Thai government it will get some support from the government other than giving poor people and government officials and their family deep discounts or free tickets.
If your a train spotter of history buff try this site for http://www.thailandbytrain.com/ for the best of site on Trains in Thailand. ThailandByTrain.com is a compressive rail guide to Thailand. Thailand is generally enjoyable to travel by train, but is slow due to the narrow gauge network and single tracking, but if you have time and hate to fly it is the safest option.
All information on trains, time-tables, fares, travel classes on this site seems correct and up to date.
So now you know how to buy Thai train ticket on line.
