Hi all, everything else question.

Tried searching online and can’t find what I need.

Will be in Thailand from next week and taking train from Hat Yai to Hua Hin. I know from previous experience that sometimes they can be cancelled due to flooding and I know there is still a lot of rain around. Does anyone know if this route is currently running ok?

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Generally, the situation can shift quickly, so it is advisable to check for real-time updates closer to your departure date.

No floods in the South of Thailand all that was up North. Rains on and off but no floods it clears pretty quick. You can change your plan when your here it's Thailand that's how it runs here can't plan to far ahead

it's Hat Yai to Hua Hin I'm doing. When I was there a year ago my train was cancelled due to floods. Thanks for the link. I couldn't find the live times on there earlier but will check again.

that was a year ago. Don't rely on that as a guide. Your call buddy why you taking the train anyway? Get a bus or fly. Cost and time are you selections 🤣🤣.I just did the train from Nakhon si thammarat to bkk no issue. Bkk to Chang Mai no issue. Try contacting SRT - Thai rail they would give you more accurate info than a fb group.

was taking the train as original plan is to pop in and see friends in Hua Hin on Tuesday for a few nights. Overnight sleeper from Hat Yai and wake up in Hua Hin. Long way up to there from Malaysia so not entertaining buses for that long a trip 🤣 Need to be up in Bangkok on Friday to meet family coming on holiday so If I flew straight up to Bangkok doubt I would feel like then hopping back down to Hua Hin straight away on a bus would probably hang out in Bangkok until the Friday, but who knows. I'll just play it by ear.

No. Ideally I'm popping into Hua Hin for a few nights to see some friends, coming from Malaysia into Thailand then headed North. If there are floods and trains are off I might just fly to Bangkok instead and pop down to Hua Hin in a week or two.
