Thailand to Turkey by train

Post by rio »

Currently in Thailand & am looking at planning a route back to Europe by train.

So far i think i've vaguely covered Bangkok to Aktua but thats where i reach a dead end

Is the boarder open into Baku if I were to take a ferry? If not, any talks on it reopening? I would be crossing around the 1st week of July

If this is not possible, can anyone suggest another route from Kazak to Turkey without getting on a plane?

You'll need to use the search function here and do some googling. There are long threads about the Caspian ferry and the (continued) closure of Azeri borders (and the possible alternative routes via Russia or Turkmenistan/Iran) on Caravanistan.

look here: https://rail.cc/train/bangkok-to-warsaw

From Bangkok to Warsaw ( you can try another option ), but maybe it's not so actually.... and it's via Russia.

Most trains in this link have not run since the pandemic started, and it includes borders closed to third-country nationals. A great journey five years ago, now worthless for planning.

OP, you need to do some research on the situation, as sebhoff suggested. The most straightforward way is Atyrau - Astrakhan - Vladikavkaz - Georgia - Turkey.
