Travel To Hat Yai With KTMB Train Rides For Only RM95
KTM Berhad (KTMB) has launched an affordable train operation for passengers who wish to travel to Hat Yai, Thailand for only RM95! This exciting train service will be operating on designated dates every month throughout 2024.
Guests can enjoy a four-day trip at just RM95 for the One Way Seated train.
Apart from that, there is also a Sleeper (Upper Berth) train that is priced at RM109 and a Sleeper (Lower Berth) train that costs RM119, one way.
This 440-kilometre train ride lasts up to roughly 11 hours and lets you experience the timeless joys of a traditional train ride.
If hunger strikes, there’s even an indoor cafe where you’ll find a wide range of delightful food such as snacks, instant noodles, pre-packed hot food, coffee and more.
According to KTMB, their My Sawasdee trains will be advancing from KL Sentral to Hat Yai and returning back on these seven scheduled dates:
- 31 May – 3 June
- 5 July – 8 July
- 31 October – 3 November
- 29 November – 2 December
- 6 December – 9 December
- 13 December – 16 December
- 23 December – 26 December
My Sawasdee is also a unique charter train service that makes fewer stops compared to the regular ETS trains. This means that passengers can even save more on their travel time, double yay! Beginning the route first at KL Sentral, the train will make stops at Tanjung Malim, Ipoh, Taiping and Padang Besar stations.
Upon reaching Padang Besar station, passengers will need to disembark in order to pass through Malaysian and Thai immigration checkpoints before boarding the same train to complete their journey.
Each My Sawasdee train is set to depart from KL Sentral at 10.50 PM (Malaysian time) at night and is expected to arrive back in Malaysia at 8.50 AM (Thailand time) on the following morning.
When taking the train back from Hat Yai, it will leave at 10.20 AM (Thailand time) and is estimated to reach KL Sentral at 10.52 PM (Malaysian time) on the same day.
Interested holidayers and thrill-seekers can start booking tickets during the fourth of every month for train rides that are scheduled for the following month.
