Su-Ngai Kolok in the Province of Narathiwat near the Malaysian Border with the State of Kelantan (Kota Bharu) is the southern Terminal station for the Bangkok - Su-Ngai Kolok route. Several trains run daily. Visitors to Narathiwat City may disembark prior to this station but lack of public transport may make travel from the smaller stations to the Province's capital awkward.
Plans to connect the missing link (21 km of track) between Su-Ngai Kolok and Pasir Mas in Malaysia are on the tables but executing construction hasn't begun yet. Pasir Mas lies on the northern leg of the socalled "Jungletrain", connecting the northern Malaysian Gulfregion with the rest of Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore.
Recent Terrorist activities in the Province lead quite frequently to a cancellation of trains proceeding further south than Hat Yai.
Derailments of passenger trains by means of sabotaged tracks and the recent killings of Railway staff within the train have again lead to temporary halts of all services. Trains full of passengers have also be prone to wildly fired bullets by insurgents. Presently the services have resumed, please inquire before departure on current situations there.
