Special Express No. 13: Bangkok to Chiang Mai

The Special Express No. 13 sleeper train goes from Bangkok to Chiang Mai overnight. It uses the older sleeper carriages and so is slightly cheaper than the Special Express No. 9 train that leaves Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal an hour earlier. So, make sure you get on the right train! There is a restaurant car on this train.

Please note, from 5th December 2025 onwards, this train bypasses Lopburi city and stops at the new Lop Buri 2 (Tha Wung) Station. You then have to take local transport into the city.
