There is only one other option for train travel between Bangkok, Butterworth and Singapore... Malaysian Railways.

This page explains how to travel by train, with train schedules, fares, and how to buy tickets both within & from outside Thailand.

It's remarkably easy, safe, and comfortable to travel from Bangkok to Malaysia & Singapore by train. The whole 1,946 km (1,249 miles) trip costs just £33 or US$ 50 one-way, including sleepers, a real bargain.

For those who want to experience luxury train travel, the Eastern and Oriental Express, which runs between Bangkok and Singapore is THE way to travel.

Yes, a trip on the Eastern and Oriental Express will set you back over $2,000. But this includes a chance to get off the train for some guided tours of sites like the Kwai River and Penang's historic Georgetownlinks.

Check out the following sites for dates and bookings:
