The major railways are the State Railway and the Eastern & Oriental Express. Trains are an inexpensive and comfortable way to travel from city to city and see the countryside. Most trains are quite slow but you can opt to take the Express Trains over the Ordinary ones depending on the routes that you’ll be taking. Just like airplanes, you can travel via economy class, business class or first class. In economy class, you would have to sit on
wooden benches. Business class is a lot more comfortable because you can enjoy reclining seats and air-conditioning. As for First Class, well, you will get your own private air-conditioned cabin. For some routes, first class cabin rates can start at 1, 000 Baht so it is still quite affordable.
