One of the least popular trains from Bangkok to Surat Thani. This is an old train which arrives at an inconvenient time in the morning. It does though have the cheapest tickets available if you are prepared to sit in 3rd Class.
If you do end up taking this train, perhaps because the later and better trains are already fully booked, we advise staying the night at a hotel near the train station and travelling onward the next day.
