Effective from 15th March 2024, the Sila At – Sawankhalok – Sila At Local Train (Train No. 405/406) will have a schedule change for Train No. 406 (Sawankhalok – Sila At). The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) announced the adjustment as a strategic move to stimulate the economy and tourism in the Sawankhalok District of Sukhothai Province.

The new departure time will provide tourists with approximately two hours to explore the historic district of Sawankhalok. A former capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom, Sawankhalok boasts rich cultural attractions, including the Sawankhalok Historical Park, Chaliang Temple, and Wat Si Chum.
