Available Train Classes

Thai Railways offers two classes on the Bangkok to Pattaya route. Here’s what to expect for your travel style and budget:

2nd Class AC Seats (Weekend Express Only)

Modern air-conditioned coaches with 2×2 reclining seats and assigned seating. Available only on weekend trains #997 and #998. These comfortable railcars offer a faster journey with cooling for hot Thai days. Pre-booking is recommended as weekend trains are popular with tourists.

3rd Class Seats (Daily Train)

Basic, authentic train travel with padded or wooden bench seating and fans for ventilation. Windows open fully for a breeze and great photo opportunities. 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.

Tips for Choosing Your Class

• Schedule: If traveling on weekends, the express train offers comfort and speed.
• Budget: 3rd Class costs just ฿30—ideal for budget travelers (less than a coffee).
• 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

• Tickets: Buy online or at Hua Lamphong’s counter (cash only at station).
• Booking: Weekend trains can be reserved up to 60 days ahead; daily trains sold day-of.
• Boarding: Arrive 30 minutes early; show e-ticket on phone or paper ticket.

Food and Services

While there’s no formal dining car on this route, you won’t go hungry. Local vendors regularly board the train or sell from platforms at stations like Chachoengsao. Morning travelers can grab breakfast (rice porridge, fruit, coffee) from vendors at Hua Lamphong before departure.

• Onboard: Vendors selling drinks, fruit, and Thai snacks (bring small bills).
• Stations: Quick food stops at Chachoengsao and other major stations (1-minute stops).
• Tip: Bring water and snacks for backup—train stops are brief.

Onboard Amenities

• Toilets: Basic facilities in each carriage (bring hand sanitizer and tissues).
• Power/Wi-Fi: Not available—bring fully charged devices if needed.
