TLDR : Answer Summary

The train from Bangkok to Surat Thani does operate but does not run strictly on a regular schedule. Experiences suggest that trains often arrive late or are delayed, with some users humorously commenting that trains rarely arrive within two hours of their scheduled times. Additionally, there are warnings about ride transfer scammers in Surat Thani.

It'll be running, as for "on schedule" I've yet to see a train arrive at a station within 2 hours of its scheduled time since I've been here.
