The Phitsanulok to Bangkok train, up close.
After Sukhothai, many travellers head back to Bangkok by train from Phitsanulok, the nearest station, roughly halfway down the Northern Line. Every Chiang Mai to Bangkok train stops here, by day and by night.
Coming from Sukhothai
Sukhothai has no railway station, so the trip starts with a bus to Phitsanulok, about 60 km away and just over an hour on the road, with buses roughly every hour during the day. Most use the terminal in New Sukhothai, 12 km from the historical park, so allow for a local bus or songthaew from the ruins first.
How long does the Phitsanulok to Bangkok train take?
The fastest train, the Special Express 8, takes 4h14m, and the slowest takes 6h27m. There are 7 trains a day: the first leaves Phitsanulok at 00:01 and the last at 23:03. 2 of them run overnight.
Night trains call at night
The overnight trains pass Phitsanulok in the middle of the night in both directions. If you board or get off here on one of them, book a room you can check into on arrival, or pick a day train if you want to reach Sukhothai the same day.

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.
