About
The Train Resort is the answer to the question “where can I actually sleep in a train in Pattaya?” A row of vintage railway carriages — coupled to a real diesel locomotive on a stretch of track — has been converted into hotel rooms and arranged around a large free-form swimming pool, complete with station-style signage and railway touches throughout the grounds. It’s a novelty, and it knows it, but the resort backs the theme up with proper facilities rather than leaving it as a photo opportunity.
You don’t have to sleep in a carriage: standard rooms sit in a separate low-rise block for guests who want a conventional space. But the carriage rooms are the reason most people come, keeping original features like the curved windows while adding air-conditioning, a private bathroom and a comfortable bed.
The rooms and facilities
Beyond the beds, the property trades as “The Train Resort Sauna & Spa,” and the facilities reflect that: a big pool with a jacuzzi and a children’s area, a sauna and spa for treatments, a restaurant and pool bar, a small fitness room, minigolf and free parking. It’s a self-contained little compound — easy to settle into for a couple of nights without needing to head out for everything.

Getting there
The resort is on the Sukhumvit Road side of the Jomtien/Nong Prue area, set back from the seafront. Jomtien Beach is a five-to-ten-minute drive, and the Thepprasit Night Market is close by for evening food and shopping. It’s around 15–20 minutes from central Pattaya and Walking Street. A Grab or Bolt is the easiest way in and out; drivers get free parking on site.
Good to know
The appeal here is character and value, not location — you’re trading a beachfront address for something genuinely different, a strong pool area and quiet nights. The carriage rooms are compact by nature (they are railway coaches, after all), so travellers who want maximum space should look at the standard rooms or book two carriages. Reserve the carriage rooms early; they’re what sell out first.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews
Full overview
The Train Resort is Pattaya's best-known novelty stay: a garden resort near Jomtien where a row of vintage railway carriages has been converted into hotel rooms, parked around a large free-form swimming pool. It leans hard into the theme — a real diesel locomotive and passenger coaches on a length of track, station-style signage, and carriage rooms with the original curved windows — but pairs the gimmick with a genuinely comfortable full-service resort. Alongside the converted-carriage rooms there are standard hotel rooms in a low-rise block, and facilities run deeper than the novelty suggests: the big pool has a jacuzzi and kids' area, plus there's a sauna and spa (the property trades as 'The Train Resort Sauna & Spa'), a restaurant and pool bar, a small fitness room, minigolf and free parking. It sits on the Sukhumvit Road side of the Jomtien/Nong Prue area — set back from the seafront rather than on it, roughly a five-to-ten-minute drive or ride to Jomtien Beach, and handy for the Thepprasit Night Market. Rates are mid-range and usually sit around 1,000–2,000 baht a night, with the carriage rooms priced above the standard rooms; it is popular with families, couples after something different and train enthusiasts. Book the carriage rooms ahead — they sell out first — and confirm current prices before you travel.
Consider it for
- Families and couples who want a fun, photogenic stay rather than a beachfront address
- Travellers and train enthusiasts curious to sleep in a converted railway carriage
- Anyone basing themselves near Jomtien and Thepprasit Market with a car or scooter
More planning notes
- Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out is at 12:00 on the direct map listing
- The resort is inland on Sukhumvit Road rather than on Jomtien Beach
- Nightly rates vary by seller, date and cancellation terms
- The property has a broad mix of older room types and villas rather than a uniform new-build inventory

Frequently asked questions
Can you actually sleep in a train carriage at The Train Resort?
Yes — that is the whole idea. A number of the rooms are built inside converted vintage railway carriages parked on a length of track by the pool, keeping features like the curved carriage windows. There are also ordinary hotel rooms in a separate block if you'd rather have a standard room; the carriage rooms cost a little more and book up first.
Is The Train Resort on the beach?
No. It's on the Sukhumvit Road side of the Jomtien/Nong Prue area, set back from the sea. Jomtien Beach is roughly a five-to-ten-minute drive, scooter or baht-bus ride away, so it suits people happy to travel the short distance to the sand rather than step straight onto it.
Is it a good choice for families with children?
Generally yes. The novelty carriages are a hit with kids, the pool has a shallow children's area and a jacuzzi, and there's minigolf and free parking. It's quiet at night. The main trade-off is the short trip needed to reach the beach and the compact size of the carriage rooms for larger families.
How much does The Train Resort cost per night?
Rates are mid-range and typically fall around 1,000–2,000 baht a night depending on season, room type and how far ahead you book, with the converted-carriage rooms priced above the standard hotel rooms. Prices change, so check current rates on the booking sites before you travel.
How do you get to The Train Resort from central Pattaya?
It's about a 15–20 minute drive from central Pattaya. A Grab or Bolt car is the simplest door-to-door option; baht buses run along Sukhumvit and Thepprasit but you'll likely finish the last stretch on foot or by motorbike taxi. Free on-site parking makes it easy if you're driving yourself.
