In Erinnerung an Ihre Majestät Königin Sirikit, die Königinmutter. Für immer in unseren Herzen
One of the most authentic ways to explore the city is by taking a Bangkok suburban train. Far from the modern metro systems, these trains are part of Thailand’s traditional railway network and offer a rare glimpse into everyday local life.
Operated by State Railway of Thailand, these trains connect Bangkok with surrounding districts and provinces. For visitors, they provide a unique and often unexpected perspective on the city.
Instead of traveling above or below the streets, the suburban train takes you straight through neighborhoods, markets, and communities.
Riding the suburban train is not about speed or comfort—it’s about experience. The trains are simple, sometimes open-air, and full of character.
Along the journey, you may see:
In some areas, the train moves so close to houses and shops that it feels like you are part of the street itself.
For many residents, this train is part of their daily routine—commuting to work, visiting family, or transporting goods. It’s a side of Bangkok that most tourists never experience.
Passengers often include a mix of students, workers, and local vendors. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, offering a chance to observe daily life up close.
Compared to the modern BTS Skytrain, the suburban train feels slower, more traditional, and deeply connected to the city’s past.
Some of our tours include a short ride on the Bangkok suburban train, adding a completely different dimension to the experience.
