Enjoy low-cost travel in the heart of Europe
Now this fairytale land in the heart of Europe is even more accessible to Thais and expatriates based in Thailand – thanks to the Swiss Travel Pass, an amazingly inexpensive ‘All-in-One Ticket’ that allows you to explore 26,000 km of train, bus and boat routes in Switzerland.
Sold here exclusively through Diethelm Travel Thailand, the Swiss Travel Pass is an unbeatable and cost effective way to get to know one of the world’s most beautiful destinations.
Pass holders travel free of charge on the entire network for periods ranging from three days to one month. Just imagine – unrestricted travel on Switzerland’s famously efficient and comfortable transport system, from the airport railway station, across country, up into the mountains and back again!
Among the most popular Swiss ‘scenic trains’ is the Glacier Express, which runs between Zermatt and St Moritz, passing through 91 tunnels en route and reaching a height of 2,045m in the Oberalp Pass.
Other favourites include the Golden Pass Line, which links the Swiss Riviera to Lake Lucerne, the historic heart of Switzerland; and the Bernina Express, a UNESCO World Heritage listed journey, featuring a north-south Alpine crossing from Chur to Lugano.
What’s more, Swiss Travel Pass holders have free access to 470 museums and 50% discount on most cable cars and mountain peaks rides.
The Swiss Travel Pass is available to expatriates who have been or living in Thailand for more than six months. Thai nationals have enjoyed the benefits of these tickets for years.
Tickets are valid for 3, 4, 8 and 15 days of continuous travel in either first or second class sections. Special fares are given to children and youths.

For more flexibility, the tickets are also available for the same number of day options, but can be used on any day during a one-month period, allowing visitors to linger in a favourite destination.
“The Swiss Travel Pass offers expats in Thailand and Thai nationals a simply unbeatable way to enjoy all the marvelous attractions in Switzerland by public transport – train, bus and boat,” said Martyn Hedges, General Manager for Outbound Travel for Diethelm.
“It’s already an extremely popular way for Thais to visit Switzerland during the warm summers or the country’s snow-covered winters. Now these passes have become available to expats who have lived in Thailand for a certain length of time.
“Many expats are now taking advantage of the special fares that almost certainly are not available to their counterparts back in their home countries.”
Mr Hedges added that the Swiss Travel Pass is a safe and secure option for international and university outings, as well as company incentive group tours.
“There has been a huge worldwide resurgence of interest in train travel, with people loving the comfort, efficiency and romance of the great days of railway.”
Booking the Swiss Travel Pass can be done either at Diethelm’s downtown travel office, or online at
