Getting To Khao Lak Trains
Trains to Khao Lak
Here at Wicked Diving we love train travel – it’s a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of airports, and gives us time to relax and finish that book! The train service in Thailand is good and quite on-time.
There are three classes – 1st, 2nd and…you guessed it….3rd class. The first class is nice, but it is certainly not the Oriental express! You can arrange your own cabin with two beds, sink and plenty of room. 2nd class is bunk style berths, which is quite nice as much of the travel is at night. 3rd class is on sturdy wooden benches.
We wish there were direct trains to Khao Lak, but unfortunately they don’t 🙁 The nearest train stop is Surat Thani, a few hours East of us. From there you can find many connecting buses and taxi service can be arranged. Expect 200 Baht for bus and 3000 for taxi. The total journey should take approximately 12-14. So if you have the time, go for it!!
