can someone send me please the official way to book a sleeping train from Phuket (or nearest) to Chiang Mai? if stop in Bangkok ok...

Answer summary

Traveling by train from Phuket to Chiang Mai is not directly possible, as there are no train services operating from Phuket. Travelers typically need to fly to Bangkok first and then catch a train to Chiang Mai. Alternative options include taking a bus from Phuket to Suratthani and then a train from Suratthani to Bangkok. For booking trains, sites like 12go.asia and thailandtrains.com can be useful.

There's no trains on Phuket, so you need to go to the mainland.

I used the handy check on the site and ended up here. This has the information you need a bit further down.
