Product Info
The THSR Pass is a rail pass that Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation designed especially for overseas visitors. If you are a foreign national, booking THSR travel on KKday costs less than the regular fare and makes getting around Taiwan easier. After booking on KKday, you can also choose your travel dates and trains in advance on the official THSR Pass website for a smoother, worry-free trip.
After you choose a train, seats are assigned randomly by the system. Specific cars or seats cannot be requested.
Reserved-seat tickets are valid only for the date, train, and section printed on the ticket (you cannot switch to a non-reserved seat on another train that day).
From November 10, 2025, reserved-seat passengers who want to board a train more than one hour earlier must exchange their ticket first and may not enter directly through the staffed gate.
