When tickets go on sale
The State Railway of Thailand releases seats 90 days before the departure date. If your travel date is further out, trains show a "Not open yet" status: this is normal and means tickets are not on sale yet. Sleeper berths around holidays sell out quickly once the window opens. Every rule of the SRT sales window, holidays included, is in our SRT booking window guide.
