[paulyd2k]

hi guys, anyone know how or where i can book a ticket from Nakhon Si Thammarat to pattaya oh [train ticket] i aint got credit card in thailand , thx paul

i usually go the nearest train station.

 

train to pattaya is slow though, best go to bkk and take a mini-bus or bell bus, or bus from nakhon to pattaya likely connecting in bkk.

 

 

maninseat61 website a fountain of knowledge too.

 

good luck

Hi Paulyd

 

The train from Bagkok to Nakon Si Thammarat takes 12 to 14 hours while the bus takes 12 hours but is much cheaper

 

Found this on http://thailand.sawadee.com/nakhonsithammarat/ it gives you info on the best way to get there and your options

Train timetable to Nakon can be found here http://www.sawadee.com/transfer/train-south.htm while the bus info can be found here http://www.sawadee.com/transfer/bus-south.htm

 

 

Also for anyone else who is considering travelling within Thailand or even to Laos or Singapore this is a very useful site http://www.seat61.com/Thailand.htm#Southern-Thailand it gives info on the trains as well as timetables and fares

 

Hope it helps ya

U don't have a credit card? U old style - cash only?.

Than beware, don't get drunk.

Going by train is ridiculous, that's for Thais

or sorry unless U have unlimited time, hippy type?

I went last year with my TeeLak from BKK to ChaAm.

It took us 6 hrs, instead 2 hrs. by mini-bus and

the price was the same. After darkness, there was

no sightseeings, just desperation of wasted time.
