    • Sean Moran commented : PM People will be able to buy railway tickets online, starting Sunday, according to State Railway of Thailand (SRT) governor Yutthana Thapcharoen. He said the online ticketing system will initially be tested for 16 routes for six months, and believed it can help increase the number of railway passengers by 30 per cent. Some of the routes include Bangkok-Chiang Mai, Bangkok-Ubon Ratchathani, Bangkok-Trang, Bangkok-Nakhon Si Thammarat, Bangkok- Sungai Kolok, and Bangkok-Butterworth. The SRT is also experimenting with using smart cards to buy railway tickets in convenience stores, Mr Yutthana said. Starting Sunday, people can buy railway tickets online by clicking on the ‘E-Star’ banner on the SRT website at http://www.railway.co.th ================================================================================================= has anyone use the railways to travel around Bangkok? appreciate any comments[/quote:1xw4v5z9] Would Hat Yai to Bangkok count as travelling around Bangkok? Having ridden the Honda from Nonthaburi down to Nakhon, and then Hat Yai, it seemed at the time to be possibly safer as well as cheaper than stopping for gallons more benzine all the way back up the peninsular. Not necessarily... I didn't expect to pay more for freighting the bike than I did for my own seat. After arriving at the station, the bike was weighed and freight priced. For myself the fare was 905 thb. For the bike, 916. Perhaps it was less risky catching a train from Hat Yai than riding a motorbike (arguably), but the Honda was more comfortable and far more friendly. It's a long train running all the way from Hat Yai : [img:1xw4v5z9]http://www.geocities.com/smoranean/img/gall/hatyaist02.jpg[/img:1xw4v5z9] [i:1xw4v5z9]Hat Yai Station looking towards Bangkok, September 14th, 2006.[/i:1xw4v5z9]

    IS Thailand Safe?

    » Thailand is relatively safe, many of the statistics you cite are largely Thai-Thai. All countries have areas best avoided, Thailand is no different, but for the most part I think it is quite safe. Mind you this will vary depending whether you are in Chiang Mai or Pattaya.

    • Sean Moran commented : k I must be just crossing the railway line on the way to Sattahip, and then do a lap of Chitralada Palace, and happens every single time I try to find my way through Bangkok on a bike in a hurry. Always have the Michelin mapbook and the Lonely Planet right there in the top rucksack, but no matter how easy those maps make it to find your way around the Chantaburi markets on an overcast day, it just don't work for me in Krungthep. It's safe, but it's not much fun at all when it takes me all day to ride from Pak Kret to Bang Kapi.

    » Not to believe that there is no railtransport from Suvannaphum out to Pattaya! The Eastern railway is straight out of the doors! The highways out there is jammed like a nightmare transport.... New airport, but no transportplan!
