We offer two types of tickets for Thai Railways, the e-ticket, and the paper ticket. The E-ticket is issued immediately after payment and sent to your email address. Depending on each route, it can be issued 1 - 30 days for short routes and up to days before departure for long routes. The paper tickets are purchased by our staff at the station. Depending on each route, the railways may release them at different times, 30 - days before the departure.
Once your tickets are secured, we will send you a confirmation email with the details. The paper tickets can be picked up at our office in Bangkok, delivered to the train station, or delivered to your accommodation on the mainland in Thailand.
To check the delivery options, please add the trip to your cart. Yes, you can. Mixed-gender is not a problem on trains in Thailand. If you book a single seat in a VIP compartment with double occupancy, you will be placed with a person of the same gender.
And 'ladies only' carriages are for ladies only. Everybody wants to sit together. We know that. Our employees always try to get the seats as close to each other as possible. Only in rare cases will the seats not be adjacent: for example, when a train is almost fully booked, and only a few seats are left. The bigger the group, the higher the chance that not all of its members will stay together. For the instant e-tickets, the seats will be assigned automatically.
We cannot guarantee that they will be next to each other; in fact, they might not even be in the same car. If you booked the non-instant tickets, you would need to come and pick up the old-fashioned paper train tickets at our counters, or we will post them to you. You cannot board the train with the 12Go PDF voucher; you need the actual paper tickets to board the train.
