Express Nakhon Phing (Thai: รถด่วนพิเศษนครพิงค์) was a special express train operated by the State Railway of Thailand. The trains designated as Express Nakhon Phing were Train No. 1 for Bangkok – Chiang Mai and Train No. 2 for Chiang Mai – Bangkok. These trains offer 1st and 2nd class sleeping cars, and a restaurant car, but no seating accommodation or 3rd class cars. The Express Nakhon Phing was then regarded to be the best train offered by the SRT.
The service has now been replaced by the Uttarawithi Express No.9 and 10 are replaced with new train sets from Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd.
