Trains: An efficient rail system links major northern and northeastern towns with the Bangkok. A southern route permits the visitor to travel by train into Malaysia and Singapore. Domestic express trains include first, second, and third- class cars. Slower trains may have only third-class seats. For four major regions northern, northeastern, southern and eastern can be traveled by train from Bangkok Railway Station (Hualumpong).

Buses: Bus transport in Thailand is fast, clean and reasonably comfortable for shorter journeys. Most buses provide reclining airline-style seats and video movies. Both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned buses are available on major routes. The cheapest are the ordinary coaches operated by the government bus company called Bor Kor Sor. Air-conditioned buses operated by independent companies are usually 30 to 70% more expensive, but complimentary meals and transportation from your hotel to the bus terminals are often included.
