Nakhon Phing Express
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Express Nakhon Phing (Thai: รถด่วนพิเศษนครพิงค์) was a special express train operated by the State Railway of Thailand. The trains designated as Express Nakhon Phing were Train No. 1 for Bangkok – Chiang Mai and Train No. 2 for Chiang Mai – Bangkok. These trains offer 1st and 2nd class sleeping cars, and a restaurant car, but no seating accommodation or 3rd class cars. The Express Nakhon Phing was then regarded to be the best train offered by the SRT.
