NEW: Online Credit card bookings for SRT rail tickets.

admin · NEW: Online Credit card bookings for SRT rail tickets.

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:

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

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.

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.
