Bangkok - Chiang Mai
It's easy to travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai by train, by day through the countryside on the air-conditioned express railcar. Travelling by sleeper is effectively faster than flying, less hassle, far more environmentally friendly, more of a real Thai experience, and saves you a hotel bill, too. The scenery on the last third of the trip up into the mountains approaching Chiang Mai is particularly good, and even on the sleeper, watching the sunrise from the train in the morning is a great experience.

Bangkok - Kanchanaburi (for River Kwai Bridge)
A regular State Railways of Thailand passenger service still runs over the infamous 'death railway' from Bangkok via Kanchanaburi as far as Nam Tok, crossing the famous 'Bridge over the River Kwai' on the way. There are two trains a day from Bangkok Thonburi station (also known as Bangkok Noi, on the East side of the river in Bangkok) to Kanchanaburi and Nam Tok, calling at River Kwai Bridge station on the Bangkok side of the Bridge a few minutes after Kanchanaburi.
The trains are 3rd class only, but don't let this put you off - they are clean and comfortable, and sitting next to an open window whilst clickety-clacking through the Thai countryside is easily the most pleasant way to reach Kanchanaburi.
If you're coming from Singapore, Malaysia or Southern Thailand, you can travel direct to Kanchanaburi and the River Kwai Bridge without going into Bangkok - just change trains at Nakhon Pathom (64 km south of Bangkok), where the branch line to Kanchanaburi leaves the main line.
There is also a special railcar (2nd class air-conditioned) for tourists at weekends, leaving Hualamphong station at 06:30 for Kanchanaburi at 09:30, Nam Tok 11:35, returning from Nam Tok at 14:40 and Kan'buri at 17:04 arriving Bangkok 19:55. Special fares apply, reservation required.

Bangkok - Ayutthaya
Ayutthaya is the ancient capital of Thailand, with many impressive ruins to visit, a great day trip from Bangkok. It's easy to get there by train. There is a train from Bangkok (Hualamphong station) to Ayutthaya roughly every hour or so with basic but clean 3rd class seats. No reservation is necessary - just turn up, buy a ticket and hop on. 3rd class is not crowded outside peak times, and it's a very pleasant way to get there, sitting next to an open window with a cool breeze blowing in, as the train clickety-clacks along...
Bangkok to Southern Thailand
There are plenty of excellent trains from Bangkok to southern Thailand, with connections by bus or ferry to Thailand's beaches and islands. Sungai Kolok is on the frontier with Malaysia. You can walk across the frontier and get a bus a few miles on to Kota Bharu. The railway station for Kota Bharu is Wakaf Bahru (3 miles or so from Kota Bharu), from where there are daily trains to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur via the scenic 'Jungle Line'. This route forms an interesting alternative to the more usual mainline route from Bangkok to KL and Singapore via Butterworth.

Bangkok - Penang - Kuala Lumpur - Singapore
It's remarkably easy, safe, and comfortable to travel from Bangkok to Malaysia and Singapore by train. It's the environmentally sound way to travel, too..! Trains are daily, and you change trains in either Hat Yai and Kuala Lumpur or Butterworth (Penang) and Kuala Lumpur. The complete journey from Bangkok to Singapore is 1,946 km (1,249 miles) and it takes two nights.
