On 26 March, we encourage all travel enthusiasts to take an unforgettable steam train trip from Bangkok to Ayutthaya. A round trip ticket is THB 250 (approximately US$8). This unique experience can only be enjoyed four times a year: on 26 March, the day when in 1869 the Siam Railway was inaugurated, on HM Queen Sirikit’s Birthday 12 August, on King Chulalongkorn Memorial Day 23 October, and on King Bhumibol’s Birthday which is 5 December.
