Six new tourism train rides

Recommended Posts

From The Nation

Leveraging on the country's logistics capabilities, the Thai government plans to promote year-round travel for tourists, and as part of this policy the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is collaborating with relevant partners to develop infrastructure that allows tourists easy access to major attractions. 

The “Amazing Experience” initiative aims to provide new and valuable travel experiences in major cities, connecting 55 notable provinces across the country. This is done in conjunction with presenting Thai identity through the concept of “5 Must Do in Thailand” to drive the government’s “Ignite Thailand’s Tourism” policy.

The TAT has partnered with the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) and Boon Rawd Trading Co Ltd to organise a railway tourism activity called "Instant Joy with Thai Trains: This Journey is Different". 

The pilot activity will take place in July 2024, with travel routes connecting Bangkok to provinces in the central and eastern regions.

The KIHA 183 train will run weekly on four routes, with a two-day, one-night travel package priced at 3,999 baht per person:

Route 1: Bangkok - Ratchaburi, July 6-7
Route 2: Bangkok - Prachuap Khiri Khan, July 13-14
Route 3: Bangkok - Suphanburi, July 20-21
Route 4: Bangkok - Prachinburi, July 27-28

This aims to invigorate the domestic travel atmosphere throughout the Green Season and coincide with the auspicious month of July. 

Additionally, the TAT said it would continue to drive the momentum in August with the “August Mother’s Travel” activity, featuring two one-day railway travel routes:

Route 1: Mother-Child Historical Steam Train Trip, Bangkok - Chachoengsao, August 12

Route 2: Mother-Child Royal Blossom Train of Happiness, Bangkok - Kanchanaburi, August 17.
