The Shuttle Train which links Thailand and Malaysia will finally resume services on Friday, July 15.

After two years of being temporarily suspended due to Covid-19, travelers can start taking the Hat Yai-Padang Besar Shuttle Train again.

The trip between the southern city of Hat Yai to Malaysia’s Padang Besar takes about 1 hour and tickets cost 50 baht or 7 Malaysian ringgits.

If you’re coming from Thailand, the first train will leave at 7:30 am (number 947) while the other one is at 2 pm (number 949).

Two trains will also leave Malaysia every day — one at 8:55am (number 948) and another at 3.40 pm (number 950).

Despite being old with no air conditioning (only fans), the Shuttle Train is expected to be busy once it reopens.
