To commemorate the 60th anniversary of Thai-Malaysian diplomatic relations, a ceremony to promote Malayan Railways (KTMB) train packages departing the neighbouring Thai city of Hatyai was held earlier this month.
The Malaysia Rail Tourism packages, which start at 4,451 baht (US$134.20), combine train fares, accommodation, meals, and attractions and activities including theme parks and city tours. Trains depart Hatyai and Padang Besar railway stations.
Present at the sending off ceremony were package buyers, travel agents, and members of the media.
