Departing Surat Thani
This is a mainland leg on the southern rail corridor, useful if you are working your way down the peninsula rather than heading out to the islands. Thai Railway is the sole operator, with roughly 11 services a day and a journey time from 1 hour 45 minutes.
Practical notes
Departures are from Suratthani Train Station, which sits some distance outside the city itself — allow for the transfer in. At the far end, services connect towards Nakhon Si Thammarat bus station and airport, so this leg works as a link in a longer chain rather than a destination in its own right.
At THB 106 it is among the cheapest fares we list. Book ahead in the holiday periods: with one operator and no parallel road service on this page, a sold-out train has no fallback.
