This class runs daily on trains #283 and #284. Seating is unreserved (first-come basis), but you can usually find a seat when boarding in Bangkok.

  • Views: 3rd Class open windows allow for better photos and local interactions.
  • Weather: AC coaches are more comfortable during hot season (March-May).

Boarding Basics for First-Timers
