About the Bangkok–Pa Sak Jolasid Dam Floating Train Experience

This limited-time train journey has become a signature event of Thailand’s tourism calendar.

The Bangkok to Pa Sak Jolasid Dam trip is not just a train ride; it’s a nostalgic return to slow travel, combining Thai cultural heritage, scenic landscapes, and authentic local experiences.
