Seat Classes on Train 40
Special Express Diesel Railcar Train
2nd class seats on DRC TrainsThere are just 2nd-class air-conditioned carriages on this "Sprinter Train", and all ticket prices have a meal and soft drinks included in the price.
Meals are served by an on-board steward/stewardess and are "airline style" and, to be honest, not the best food you will taste in Thailand.
We would recommend you bring along some of your own snacks for your journey, as there are few chances to purchase any other food on this service.
Ticket Prices
Fares for this Special Express train are amongst the more expensive of trains in Thailand, as they are the fastest and only have air-conditioning, which has to be paid for in extra fees.
No matter how far you travel, the additional fees are the same, making this train quite expensive for short trips.
