wwest5829 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Just a note on our experience at the end of March. Took the #10 train (newer Chinese car), two interconnected compartments. Overnight train, compartments were fine, bathroom and separate shower stall down the hall. Unfortunately, the care air conditioning was set on refrigerate. Could not sleep. In the morning, they turned off the air and immediate hot and humid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MarkyM3 Posted September 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Went in the 1st class sleeper back in late 2019 with gf of the time. Wasn't worth it imo. Food very average, no alcohol on sale, bed uncomfortable and cabin pretty cold. I didn't sleep well and needed to sleep when I got to Bangkok which defeated the purpose! 2nd class sleeper back in the day was more fun when they had the disco carriage and alcohol on sale. I got much more enjoyment from Bangkok to Nam Tok in 3rd class last year for 100 baht, being honest. Great scenery, interaction with locals (passengers, hawkers etc.) I'd recommend to fly this route or travel daytime and do an overnight stop off en-route at Phitsanulok or Ayutthaya.

bangkok19 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Give me a bottom bunk in a carriage with fans any day. I hide my bottle(s) of Red behind the curtain as I drink from a coffee cup. Also take on with me a small Tupperware container with cut up bread and cheese. I arrive the next morning a little worse for wear, but I've traveled from A to B and got a free night's accommodation. I always FLY back from Chiang Mai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many of these naive, uneducated so-called influencer types everywhere now. Like a pest. How to pack your bag, tie your shoe laces and travel on a train. One of these folks, a woman, took a night train CM to Bkk and then compained that the sun set almost when leaving the station and she couldn't view the countryside.....

JBChiangRai Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I think 99% of YT'ers are completely boring and a lot are trying to monetise themselves. You can usually summarise a 24 minute video in one paragraph you can read in 30 seconds. I am surprised this thread wasn't taken down as self-promoting their business.
