Bangkok to Phitsanulok Destination Reviews

Everything went well except the train was one hour late.

The train was filthy and had roaches moving all over, I was uncomfortable sitting there however it got me to where I needed to be and that's all that matters.

Where to begin? Rather than flying, we wanted to see more of thailand, so went to Phitsanulok by train and onto Sukhothai via taxi (about 700baht). The train journey was "memorable". 4.5hrs from Bangkok, stopped countless times, 2nd class was basic and rickety even by UK Northern Rail standards, and the onward journey to chiang mai is a further 6hrs. But still don't regret it, and if you have an element of adventure about you, worth trying. Was lucky that we ended up in Phitsanulok during the flower festival. The night market was great, and where else can you get an hours foot or body massage for 130baht. Exchange your money before you get here and expect there to be none of the usual "tourist things" here.

Booked day train to see the country. Window so dirty I couldn't see anything. Otherwise just fine. Slight delay but that's to be expected.

Always love the views from the train and traveling in comfort being able to get up and walk around. This particular train (#7 from Bkk to Phitsanulok) was 2nd class a/c, which means no open windows and no street vendors hopping on and off with food options. Instead, you get "flight attendants" serving you pre-packaged food several times (some good, some not so good, depending on your tastes) and helping you with your baggage on and off (if you need it). The train is old but relatively comfortable. I thought I would sleep or read part of the way but I couldn't take my eyes off the view for any length of time. Very enjoyable.

How to get from Bangkok to Phitsanulok by Train

Taking a train to get from Bangkok to Phitsanulok is a safe, fast, and scenic option to travel the country. On certain routes, there are multiple train departures per day every 10 to 15 minutes. This is typical for intercity travel, while for long distance train routes there are fewer scheduled departures – plan ahead to choose the one that fits your itinerary best.

When travelling on weekends and holidays it is recommended to reserve tickets much earlier due to a much higher demand. During high season, train tickets sell out quickly – do book as early as you can.

Travel time from Bangkok to Phitsanulok is estimated to be about 3h 52m. Trains ensure the fastest time to travel by land. As normally there is no congestion, the speed of travel is more or less constant and stops at train stations are rather short, train is almost always one of the quickest and safest ways to get from Bangkok and Phitsanulok.

Some intercity trains with shorter distances between stations run slower than 40 mph. Even with these low speeds, it can still be faster than commuting by car, bus or taxi.

These speeds of travel together with relatively short stops between stations can greatly shorten the duration of your trip.

Best-Rated Companies for this Route

Unlike buses or taxis which have numerous companies offering their services, train service is usually offered by just one major company in each country. As railway service requires a large amount of infrastructure, most railway companies are government-owned and are a part of the national transport system.

One of the best advantages of travelling by train is that railway stations are often conveniently located within or very near major cities and urban areas. Immediately on arrival to their destination, travellers find themselves in close proximity to important facilities like hotels, supermarkets, and hospitals.

If you travel with a lot of bags and luggage, trains are your best option. Luggage weight limits on trains are rather flexible and allow you to carry multiple bags with you.

Special or luxury trains feature sufficient legroom which allows you to stretch your legs and relax. In comfort and space these train seats can be compared to business class airplane seats.

Similar to buses, trains can provide a variety of amenities to make your travel more comfortable and enjoyable. Modern trains have WIFI service, a snack counter and a drinking bar. Onboard toilets can be a life saver for travellers with queasy stomachs.

Lastly, unlike buses and other overland means of transport, trains are very rarely involved in accidents.
