Steam Train from Hua Lamphong to Ayutthaya - Thailand 2023
The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) hasn’t used steam locomotives for regular commercial use since the early 1980’s. There are five that are still in good working order and are used during special occasions. They have two Pacific locomotives, two C56 locomotives and one Mikado locomotive.
Each year the SRT organise six steam train trips every year. Tickets cost 299 Baht. You can buy at any station or online a month in advance. The trips alternate between Ayutthaya, Nakhon Pathom, and Chachoengsao.
The trains that are used usually are two Pacific locomotives. Number 824 (imported in 1949) and Number 850 (imported in 1951). These were manufactured by the Japan Association of Railway Industry and there were originally 30 of them in Thailand, Numbers 821-850. They were designed with 4-6-2 wheel configuration. In 2012, they were completely restored and modified. They had a new boiler, electric generator, and genset air compressor fitted.
The train is a great way to spend a day. The reactions from everyone, from the people on the train to locals that line the tracks to see the antique steam engines, is worth the small cost of the ticket.
After arriving in Ayutthaya six hours are scheduled to explore the former Thai capital.
