Re: Buying a train ticket

Thanks, I will go there on Thursday and see if I can grab a ticket. Is it likely to be busy this time of year?

Buying a train ticket

Hi,

Im hoping to catch the train from Hua Hin to Bangkok on the 28th of Dec. I arrive in Hua Hin this coming Thursday, if I go to the train station on Thursday is it likely there will be tickets available? Can I buy a ticket this early?

Thanks
