Surat Thani Hat Yai Train Times 2023 Ticket Prices

Travel from Surat Thani to Hat Yai by train is a pleasurable and far more relaxed way to travel, rather than the high-speed minibuses, or buses that run along this route.

If you are coming from the islands of Koh Samui or Koh Phangan, you can easily get bus / minivan transfers from the ports to Surat Thani Railway Station (located in a place called Phun Phin, 15 km away from the city centre).

Surat Thani station is also a hub for transport from the west coast of Thailand (Phuket, Phi Phi Islands, Krabi..), with buses and minivans dropping passengers off at the station to connect to rail services to the north and south.
