The KiHa-183 trains were donated by Japan. They were then refurbished in the Makkasan Workshops so that they look as good as new. They kept the livery the same as when it was used in Japan. There also kept the information signs. The KiHa-183 trains will be used as tourist trains.
The trip today is a package tour to Chachoengsao. The ticket price is 1,999 Baht which includes breakfast, lunch and a bus/boat tour. #Thailand

[2] The seats on the No.7/8 recline and there’s a reasonable amount of leg room. The drop-down table on the seat-back looks reasonably clean but I would bring soft wipes. Luggage space is adequate if your bags are not too big.

[3] The toilets are clean enough. You have the choice between squat toilets and Western style. There’s a washbasin with a small bar of soap. There’s also a microwave where the attendant for our carriage is already warming up our meals six at a time.

Tickets for the day excursion to the beach cost only 120 Baht in 3rd Class fan or double if you want air-con in 2nd Class. I prefer with open windows as easier to take photos. However, this time I’ve booked an inward facing seat as it gives more leg room for this 5 hour journey.
Breakfast on the train today is my usual. Stir-fried basil with minced pork. The cost with a fried egg was 30 Baht. Not the most generous of portions but good value for the price. Anyway, there will be more food opportunities later.

[3] Tickets for the one hour train trip to Mahachai (Samut Sakhon) are only 10 Baht in 2nd Class with fan. The seats are hard but it doesn’t really matter as the journey is short.

🚂 Calling all train fans! There is an event at Hua Lamphong station from now until 16th January 2022 where you can get up close with steam locomotives and also visit places in the 105 year old station that are not normally open to the public. [THREAD] #รถไฟไทย #thaitrain [1/7]
As well as taking pictures of the steam locomotives, there are also various carriages on display from the wooden benches in 3rd Class to the sofas in the 1st Class carriage. There is also a board room with a very long table #รถไฟไทย #thaitrain #Bangkok
At the front of Hua Lamphong station, you will find the railway museum which is open every day during the train exhibition. Entry is free. There is a lot of train memorabilia that will fascinate all train fans #รถไฟไทย #thaitrain #Bangkok4Free
Good morning from Bangkok Railway Station. Today I’m taking the excursion train to Nam Tok in Kanchanaburi. There will be a couple of stops along the way before we get to the waterfall. This is a THREAD of the trip #รถไฟไทย #thaitrain #Thailand
When you get on the Nam Tok excursion train, it’s important that you get in the right carriage. This is because the train also has carriages for the excursion to Hua Hin. At the junction, the train will split. We will go west and the other half will go south #รถไฟไทย #thaitrain
Tickets for the day-long excursion train to Nam Tok are only 120 Baht for 3rd Class carriages with fan. If you want air-conditioning, it is 240 Baht for 2nd Class. The train runs only at the weekend and public holidays. There’s a couple of stops along the way. #รถไฟไทย #thaitrain
Good morning from Bangkok Railway Station. Today I’m going on a special day excursion to Pasak Cholasid Dam. The train leaves at 6:00am and returns tonight at 6:50pm. This will be a THREAD of the day trip #รถไฟไทย #thaitrain #Thailand
To go on the train excursion, you must be fully vaccinated or can show a negative ATK covid test taken within 72 hours. After we had boarded, someone came round to inspect our certificates. Really it was just a cursory glance. He told me, just to make passengers feel better.
This is Bang Sue Grand Station which will replace Bangkok Railway Station as the new terminal station for the capital. It’s about 25 minutes north of Hua Lamphong. From 24th December, all trains will depart from here tatnews.org/2021/06/bang-s… #รถไฟไทย #thaitrain #Thailand
I came to Chiang Mai on the sleeper train. I’m now returning to Bangkok on the Sprinter day-train. The most beautiful part of the Northern Line is the top end. So, this is the best way to see the changing landscape [THREAD] #Thailand
The cost of the Sprinter train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok is 641 Baht for 2nd Class with air-con (the sleeper was ฿1,041). Journey time is ten hours and 35 minutes. The so-called Rapid train, which costs ฿231/฿391, takes four hours longer #Thailand
The seats are all facing the same way, but it is possible to swing them around so you are facing friends. The seats also recline but I hope I don’t get someone like this in front of me! Most people, even if they came together, are separated. But I guess you can then move together
