In a Facebook statement, KTMB said the MySawasdee train services 1004 and 1005 will be cancelled from today, 29 November, to Monday, 2 December.
"Passengers are entitled to a full refund, which will be processed through the KTMB mobile app (KITS)," the statement reads.
Alternatively, passengers can reach out to their station staff, call the KTMB Call Centre at +603-97791200, or email [email protected] for further assistance.
KTMB has also announced the cancellation of several KTM Intercity train services along the East Coast route due to floods and landslides
