Can I travel through Thailand by train ?

Thailand has one of the best metre-gauge rail systems in the world and train travel is easily the best way to get around & see the country. It's comfortable, safe, cheap & environmentally friendly. Unlike flying it's a genuine Thai experience which makes the journey as much a part of your trip as the destination. The train is the best way to travel between Bangkok & Chiang Maiand a train+ferry or train+bus combo is the best way from Bangkok to Ko Samui or Bangkok to Phuket or Krabi. There's also a Bangkok-Vientiane train service. Taking the train is a wonderful way to travel between Bangkok, Penang, Kuala Lumpur & Singapore, the 1,233-mile journey to Singapore takes 48 hours & costs a mere $60/£40 or so one-way
