Chiang Mai - Getting There By Rail

Chiang Mai's train station is on Thanon Charoen Muang (tel: (053) 244 795), just over 2km (1.25 miles) from Tha Pae Gate on the eastern side of town.

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT)
runs the main train network, which consists of four main lines and a number of branch routes. The northern line connecting Bangkok to Chiang Mai, via Ayutthaya, Lopburi and Lampang terminates in Chiang Mai. There are several different classes of train, the fares for which depend on the type of seat, whether you want air conditioning and on the speed of the train. Booking tickets a day in advance is recommended.

For 24-hour train information, contact the SRT in Bangkok (tel: (02) 220 4567) or on its free hotline (tel: 1690). The SRT website (www.railway.co.th or www.thailandrailway.com) features English-language timetables and ticket prices.
