Train

The only mainline train station in Singapore belongs to the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) Berhad located at Tanjong Pagar, just on the edge of the CBD. While this mode of transport may take a fair bit of time to get to Singapore, you’ll enjoy the panoramic views of 

KTM Berhad’s Intercity is a must-try, if you’re looking to travel in a safe, hassle-free and relaxed environment to Singapore from various cities and areas in Malaysia. While this mode of transport may take awhile, you’ll get to absorb the panorama of the Thai and Malaysian countryside, which will later transform into dramatic views of the cityscape as you enter Singapore.

The most popular route on the KTM train service starts from Hatyai in Thailand through Kuala Lumpur and on to Singapore. KTM caters to the travel needs of group travellers, particularly if you travel under an organisation, association or club, with special discounts and privileges. Also available are holiday packages at attractive prices.

If you want to travel in luxury, be sure to hop onto the Eastern & Oriental Express. Designed to recapture the golden age of rail travel between Bangkok and Singapore, this magnificent train spans a quarter mile in length. Look forward to 5-star personalised service, luxurious cabins and gourmet cuisine. You also get to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the verdant tropical forests along the way. Prices start from $2,210 per person, including meals and service.
