From The 1st of Feb 2009. SRT tickets will now be able to be purchased online with a VISA or Mastercard.

At the end of the booking process you must print your ticket out. As this will be the actual SRT railway ticket you present to the on board staff. So remember to PRINT it out before you leave.


This is the website for online SRT rail ticket bookings:

http://www.thairailwayticket.com/Default.aspx?language=1

However to actually book online you must register using this link FIRST:

http://www.thairailwayticket.com/RegisterMaster.aspx

For Online Credit card booking with SRT you must book at least 3 (THREE) days in advance!

Please note there is no help information on the http://www.thairailwayticket.com website in English language. But the interface is in English.

Personally I have not tried to book tickets this way as yet. But for international visitors it looks like a good idea and useful service.

For further details on Payment for Thai Railway Tickets by VISA & MasterCard, it can be described as follows:

1) It has been limited to Second Class Aircon Sleepers - the Money Maker services of the following Expresses

SP 1/2 (BKK - Chiang Mai - BKK)
SP 13/14 (BKK - Chiang Mai - BKK)
SP 35/36 (BKK - Butterworth - BKK)
SP 37/38 (BKK - Sugei Golok - BKK)
EXP 67/68 (BKK - Ubon Ratchathani - BKK)
EXP 69/70 (BKK - Nong Khai - BKK) - It will probably cover Tha Nalaeng after 5 March 2009
EXP 83/84 (BKK - Trang - BKK)
EXP 85/86 (BKK - Nakhon Srithammaraj - BKK)

2) The credit card payment services will be running from 1 February to 1 August 2009 to collect the data so SRT could get the info to add more trains as well as more types of carriages into the list for VISA/MasterCard payment.

As incorrectly stated earlier. At the end of the booking process you can PRINT your SRT railway ticket and DO NOT have to collect your ticket at the station.

The ticket you print at home is your actual railway ticket. So remember to print it.
