INDEPENDENT BOOKING SERVICE
We are an independent travel agency and not the official website of any railway operator.
Our website provides train search, booking, payment, ticket delivery, and customer support services for travelers in Thailand.
We do not own, operate, control, or manage trains, railway stations, railway infrastructure, onboard services, or railway schedules.
Train operations, schedules, carriage types, station facilities, delays, cancellations, and onboard services are controlled by the relevant railway operator or transportation provider.
Railway names, train numbers, station names, routes, seat classes, and other transportation references displayed on our website are used only to identify and describe the travel services available for booking.
TRAIN TICKET BOOKING
Our website allows passengers to search and reserve train tickets for routes throughout Thailand.
Available trains, schedules, seat classes, sleeper berths, fares, and ticket conditions are displayed according to the information available at the time of booking.
To process your reservation, passengers may be required to provide:
Passengers are responsible for ensuring that all information provided during booking is complete and accurate.
Passenger names and identification details should match the documents used for travel. Incorrect information may result in additional charges, ticket modification requirements, or refusal of travel.
BOOKING CONFIRMATION
Submitting a reservation request does not automatically guarantee a seat, sleeper berth, or specific train.
A booking is considered confirmed only after payment has been successfully received, availability has been verified, and a confirmation or ticket has been issued.
Train availability may change quickly, particularly during weekends, public holidays, festivals, and peak travel periods.
If your selected train, class, berth, or departure time becomes unavailable before ticket issuance, our customer support team may contact you with available alternatives.
TRAIN SCHEDULES
Departure and arrival times displayed on our website are based on the latest information available at the time of search or booking.
Schedules may be changed due to operational requirements, railway maintenance, weather, infrastructure conditions, technical issues, public events, or other circumstances beyond our control.
Passengers should review their issued ticket carefully and check the latest departure information before traveling to the station.
TRAIN CLASSES AND SEATING
Different train services may provide different seat and sleeper options. Depending on the selected train, available classes may include:
Carriage layouts, bedding, seat design, colors, equipment, toilets, power outlets, air-conditioning, and other amenities may vary depending on the train type, carriage, route, and operating conditions.
Images shown on our website are for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the exact carriage assigned to your journey.
SEAT AND BERTH ASSIGNMENT
Passengers may request preferred seats, upper berths, lower berths, or cabin arrangements where available.
However, a specific seat number, berth position, carriage number, or cabin cannot be guaranteed until the ticket has been issued.
Railway operators may change seat or carriage assignments for operational reasons. Where possible, an equivalent class will be provided.
FARES AND PRICES
Ticket prices may vary according to route, train type, seat class, sleeper class, travel date, availability, and booking conditions.
The total amount displayed during booking may include the train fare, applicable booking fees, service charges, payment processing costs, and other charges where applicable.
Fares are not guaranteed until payment has been completed and the booking has been successfully confirmed.
If a significant fare change occurs before ticket issuance, we will notify you before completing the affected booking.
PAYMENT
Available payment methods will be displayed during the booking process.
Depending on availability, passengers may pay using major international credit or debit cards and other supported online payment methods.
Payments are processed through secure payment systems.
Your card issuer or bank may apply foreign transaction fees, currency conversion fees, or other payment charges. These charges are determined by your financial institution and are outside our control.
For security and fraud prevention purposes, certain transactions may require additional verification before tickets can be issued.
E-TICKETS AND TICKET DELIVERY
After successful payment and ticket issuance, your booking confirmation and/or electronic ticket will be sent to the email address provided during booking.
Passengers should check both their inbox and spam or junk folder if the ticket is not received within the expected processing time.
Passengers are responsible for providing a correct and accessible email address.
We are not responsible for delays or delivery problems caused by incorrect email addresses provided by customers.
If payment has been successfully completed but you have not received your ticket, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible.
TICKET CHANGES
Ticket changes are subject to seat availability, fare conditions, train type, travel class, and the time remaining before departure.
Under our current ticket policy, change requests should generally be submitted at least 48 hours before the scheduled departure time.
The following general change conditions apply:
If the replacement ticket is more expensive than the original ticket, the passenger must pay the applicable fare difference.
Change requests submitted less than 48 hours before departure may be denied or may be subject to additional charges.
CANCELLATION AND REFUND
Under our current ticket conditions, voluntary cancellation is generally not permitted for tickets purchased through our website unless otherwise stated at the time of booking.
Passengers should carefully review the route, train number, departure date, departure time, passenger information, and seat class before completing payment.
If a train is cancelled or significantly affected by the railway operator, available options may include an alternative service, ticket modification, or refund depending on the circumstances and applicable ticket conditions.
Any approved refund may require processing time depending on the railway operator, payment provider, issuing bank, and original payment method.
MISSED TRAINS AND NO-SHOW
Passengers are responsible for arriving at the correct railway station with sufficient time before departure.
If you miss your train because you arrive late, travel to the wrong station, fail to present required documentation, or do not board for personal reasons, your ticket may become invalid.
No-show tickets may not be eligible for changes or refunds.
Passengers are advised to arrive at the station at least 30-60 minutes before departure.
