Planning a trip to Hat Yai later this year? If the idea of travelling across the border sounds exciting but you would rather make the journey more comfortable, KTM Berhad has introduced a promotion that may be worth looking into.
The MySawasdee Executive Coach (AXC) promotion gives Malaysian travellers the opportunity to experience a more premium journey to Hat Yai with a special one-way fare of just RM375. That is 50% off the regular RM750 ticket when the promotional code AXC50 is used.
For anyone who has been thinking about a Hat Yai getaway, this could be a good opportunity to make the journey part of the holiday itself rather than simply treating the train ride as a way of getting from one place to another.
Travel to Hat Yai in a More Premium Way
Hat Yai remains a popular destination for Malaysians looking for a short overseas escape. The city is well known for its shopping, local food, markets and relaxed atmosphere, making it suitable for everything from a quick weekend break to a longer holiday with family or friends.
However, getting to the destination is only one part of the trip. The journey itself can make a big difference to how enjoyable the overall experience feels.
The MySawasdee Executive Coach is designed to provide a more comfortable and premium travel experience. Instead of simply focusing on reaching Hat Yai, travellers can enjoy the journey with an Executive Coach experience.
The promotional fare makes the offer particularly interesting. The regular ticket is RM750 one way, while the exclusive promotional ticket is available for RM375 one way with the code AXC50. That means travellers can save RM375 on a one-way ticket compared with the regular fare.
For those who have already been considering travelling to Hat Yai, having a promotional fare available can make it easier to include a more premium travel option in the holiday budget.
Two Travel Periods Available
The promotion is available for two specific travel periods, giving travellers some flexibility when planning their trip.
The first travel period runs from 23 October to 26 October 2026. This is a four-day period that may suit travellers looking for a long weekend-style getaway or a short break.
The second travel period runs from 30 October to 2 November 2026. This provides another four-day travel window for those who cannot make the first set of dates.
With two travel periods available, travellers can choose the dates that work better with their schedule. It is still important to check the actual ticket availability before making other travel arrangements, particularly if travelling with family or in a group.
Pay RM375 Instead of RM750
The headline attraction of this promotion is straightforward: the Executive Coach ticket is offered at RM375 one way, compared with the regular ticket price of RM750.
That represents a 50% saving on the regular fare.
For a return journey, travellers should check the applicable fares and availability for both directions rather than automatically assuming that the promotional price applies to every part of the journey. The promotion details specifically state the exclusive ticket price as RM375 one way.
The promotional code to remember is AXC50.
As with many promotional fares, travellers should make sure the code is entered correctly when purchasing the ticket and check the relevant terms, availability and travel dates before completing the booking.
A Good Excuse for a Hat Yai Getaway
One of the reasons this promotion stands out is that it can turn a simple trip to Hat Yai into more of an experience.
There is plenty to explore once travellers arrive. Hat Yai is popular for its food, shopping and markets, while the city also provides an easy base for discovering more of southern Thailand.
A short trip can be enough for travellers who simply want to take a break from their normal routine. Spend the day exploring local shops, browse the markets, enjoy Thai food and drinks, and take some time to experience the atmosphere of the city.
Travelling by train can also add a different dimension to the holiday. Instead of rushing through an airport or spending the entire journey focused on the road, travellers can settle into the train experience and enjoy the journey towards the destination.
That is where the Executive Coach promotion becomes particularly appealing for travellers who place a little more importance on comfort.
Why Consider the MySawasdee Promotion?
There are several reasons why this promotion may be worth considering if Hat Yai is already on the travel list.
First, the 50% discount is easy to understand. The promotional fare of RM375 is half of the stated regular RM750 one-way price, making the potential saving RM375 per one-way ticket.
Second, the offer is specifically aimed at providing a more premium travel experience through the Executive Coach. Travellers who normally choose standard transport options may appreciate the opportunity to try something different without paying the full regular fare.
Third, the travel dates provide two options in late October and early November. That gives travellers some room to choose between the 23-26 October period and the 30 October-2 November period.
Finally, booking is relatively convenient because tickets can be purchased through several KTMB channels.
How to Buy the Promotional Ticket
According to the promotion details, tickets can be purchased through the KTMB Mobile app, KITS Style app, KTMB website or KTMB ticket kiosk.
For online booking, travellers can visit the KTMB booking website at online.ktmb.com.my and check the available travel dates and fares.
Before paying, it is worth checking that the selected travel date falls within the promotional period and that the promotional code AXC50 has been applied correctly where required.
Travellers should also check the latest booking information, terms and availability directly with KTMB, as promotional tickets may be subject to availability.
Make the Journey Part of the Holiday
Sometimes the best part of a trip is not simply arriving at the destination. The journey can also become part of the experience, particularly when travelling somewhere for a short break.
The MySawasdee Executive Coach promotion gives travellers an opportunity to try a more premium way of travelling to Hat Yai while paying a promotional fare of RM375 one way instead of the regular RM750.
For travellers who have been waiting for a good reason to plan a Hat Yai trip, this promotion could be worth checking out.
Whether it is a food-focused getaway, a shopping trip with friends, a family holiday or simply a chance to spend a few days somewhere different, Hat Yai offers plenty of reasons to make the journey.
And with two travel periods available, travellers can choose between 23-26 October 2026 or 30 October-2 November 2026, subject to ticket availability.
The main thing is to plan ahead, check the available seats and remember the promotional code AXC50 when booking. With the Executive Coach ticket available from RM375 one way, this is an opportunity for travellers to experience something a little more premium on their next journey to Hat Yai.
For the latest promotion information and booking options, travellers can check KTMB’s official channels and booking platforms before making their travel arrangements.
