The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) will be providing six extra trains to serve New Year holiday travellers, increasing daily capacity to a maximum 100,000 passengers.

The SRT expects a high volume of passengers during the New Year period in light of the four-day weekend, from Dec 30 to Jan 2, as announced by the government, and the fact that Covid-19 is no longer a major worry, Ekkarat Sriarayanpong, director of the SRT’s Public Relations Centre, said on Saturday.
