Departing Bangkok’s Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Station at 9:25 pm, train No 133 carried about 400 passengers, arriving in Laos’ capital Vientiane the following Saturday.
Thai immigration officers and relevant agencies ensured a swift process, taking about 30 to 40 minutes. After completing these procedures, passengers resumed their journey, reaching Khamsavath station in Vientiane within the final 20 minutes of the 12-hour trip.
Upon arrival at the Khamsavath station, passengers could transfer via taxi to Vientiane Station of the China-Laos Railway. From there, they were able to board trains to destinations such as Luang Prabang in Laos, and Xishuangbanna and Kunming in China’s Yunnan province.
“I booked a ticket immediately after the news on this international train being released,” said Thanaphong Khadram, 28, who traveled with friends. “It’s a fantastic trip with convenient cross-border services and wonderful views along the route.”
