Train Information

Train 83 is scheduled to arrive at 04.24 which is in plenty of time for the first direct service from Surat Thani train to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan at 07.00.

The first direct service from Surat Thani train station to Koh Tao departs later at 08.30. Because the current route is single track for large sections there are often delays (trains have to stop so that others going in the opposite direction can pass) which means that in practice the delay between arriving and the departure time of onward transport connections is less than the scheduled timetable suggests. Opposite the train station there is a row of cafes which open early in the morning to cater for people arriving on Train 83. Bus and minivan services for onward travel from Surat Thani train station pick up passengers in the car park in front of this row of cafes. The cafes have free WiFi and toilets for use by customers.
