The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is set to launch a new tourist train, the "SRT ROYAL BLOSSOM," in mid-August. The inaugural route will be a one-day trip to Sai Yok Noi Waterfall in Kanchanaburi. This service aims to promote tourism, stimulate the economy, and create jobs for the community and surrounding areas. The pricing is being finalized to ensure it is affordable and offers good value.
Deputy Minister of Transport, Mr. Surapong Piyachote, announced that the SRT ROYAL BLOSSOM will operate on weekends and public holidays, with the first journey on the Kanchanaburi (Sai Yok Noi Waterfall) route. The train, a renovated air-conditioned Hamanasu model from Japan, features a new red and gold design. It bears the logo "STATE RAILWAY OF THAILAND ROYAL BLOSSOM SINCE 2022" alongside a Chaiyaphruek flower emblem on a clock face with Roman numerals and hands pointing to 13 (XIII).

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is planning to launch a special tourist train called SRT ROYAL BLOSSOM on the Bangkok-Kanchanaburi route in mid-August 2024. The initial proposed ticket price of 1,499 baht per seat has faced criticism for being too expensive, especially compared to the less popular KIHA 183 train. The SRT received the train cars from Japan and has completed renovations on 5 out of 10 cars, with plans to complete the rest by the end of 2024.
Prachinburi Welcomes Tourists from Japanese Train KIHA-183 on the Bangkok-Prachinburi Route for the "Ride KIHA 183, Eastern Charm, Plant Kasalong Forest" Activity to Promote Tourism
The Deputy Governor of Prachinburi welcomed tourists arriving on the Japanese train KIHA-183 from Bangkok to Prachinburi as part of the "Ride KIHA 183, Eastern Charm, Plant Kasalong Forest" activity aimed at promoting tourism.
On June 15, 2024, at 10:30 AM, Ms. Jarunee Kawil, Deputy Governor of Prachinburi Province, welcomed over 200 tourists participating in the tourism promotion activity featuring the Japanese train KIHA-183 from Bangkok to Prachinburi at the Prachinburi railway station. This initiative aims to boost tourism in Prachinburi by utilizing the train as a mode of transport, stimulating the local economy, and distributing income to the community. The event also seeks to enhance the province's visibility as a tourist destination, with related officials and a troupe of traditional dancers joining the reception.
During the event, the tourists traveled on the Japanese train KIHA-183 from Bangkok to Prachinburi. Upon arrival, they visited the historic Wat Kaew Phichit, featuring a blend of Thai, Chinese, and Khmer architectural styles, and paid respects to Luang Pho Apai, the principal Buddha image, for blessings.
The tour continued with a visit to the Prachinburi National Museum to view an exhibition and worship Lord Ganesha of Si Mahosot, which is over 1,400 years old. The group then visited the Wat Phra Buddha Dvaravati Sri Prachin Sirindhorn Lokanat temple, released fish, and planted Kasalong trees at the Khao Ito Waterfall Buddhist Park. The final stop was at the Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Museum, where tourists purchased traditional herbal products at the Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital before returning to Hua Lamphong Station in Bangkok on the KIHA-183 train.
This event, organized by Prachinburi Province in collaboration with the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), aims to promote tourism in Prachinburi using the train as a means of travel, thereby stimulating the local economy and distributing income to Prachinburi residents. The activity also serves to widely publicize and enhance the province's tourism profile. The program featured two train journeys over two days (round trips), with 200 tourists each day, totaling 400 participants.

The Thai Association for the Promotion of Tourism Business, in collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and Prachuap Khiri Khan province, has organized a special KIHA 183 train trip under the program "Beautiful Beach, Clear Sky, Suan Son Pradipat, Prachuap Khiri Khan." This special 2-day, 1-night train journey aims to stimulate the economy during the low season, attracting more than 200 tourists to participate.
Mr. Kantapong Thananueangroj, President of the Thai Association for the Promotion of Tourism Business (TATB), said the association has adopted the Prime Minister's policy to boost tourism by promoting new travel routes. Consequently, they have collaborated with the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), the Tourism Authority of Thailand, and Prachuap Khiri Khan province to organize this special KIHA 183 train trip. The program includes visits to Suan Son Pradipat Beach, Rajabhakti Park, Wat Huay Mongkol, Khao Tao Reservoir (the first royal irrigation project initiated by King Rama IX), Cicada Market, and Hua Hin town. The trip is offered at 3,999 baht per person.
Mr. Polkrit Phuangwalaisin, District Chief of Hua Hin, stated that the first group of tourists traveled to Hua Hin on the KIHA 183 train, one of 10 trains donated by Japan to Thailand. This train, known for its unique characteristics, was used for group travel on important routes. This journey, organized as a group tour, marks an impressive start for a new travel route during the low season, helping to stimulate the economy and accommodate the use of the double-track railway.
The tour included visits to several significant locations and is expected to serve as a pilot trip for similar future tours. Interested tourists should follow the information and book trips with SRT. Typically, SRT operates regular trains from Bangkok to Suan Son, available for personal or family trips every week. The current operation of the double-track railway has made train travel more convenient and time-efficient.
