UKJASE Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 that's the one - http://www.orient-express.com/web/eoe/journeys/4_129704.jsp thanks Georgy..... would be a great journey to do, but $2440 for the cheap seats seems a little expensive anyone rode the regular trains down to KL or singapore? are they a good experience? safer than mini vans i guess i love trains me..... choo choo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshiremusicman Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hua Hin-Butterworth...departs 7.30pm everyday arrives next day 1pm...cost 1,180 Baht, ask for bottom bunk..great journey Do you have to make a forward booking for this, or can you just arrive on spec at HH station? I presume that if you want a special place, like a bottom bunk then it will have to be pre booked. Is the station the only place to book these trips? What kind of services do they provide on this overnight trip, as I am thinking of travelling down myself and was considering driving down - yes I know its a long way; but at least I would have my own vehicle when I arrive and probably going for 4/5 weeks to have a look around so having my own transport whilst I'm there seems to make sense. Anybody done this and got any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 That is not the Orient Express train but the normal Thai Bangkok to Penang that poster is talking about for 1,xxx baht. The Orient Express will be considerably more. Prices 2012 Pullman Superior/Single US$2,440 State Cabin US$3,560 Presidential Suite US$5,150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read my question, you will see that I was obviously refering to the daily train and not the 'posh' one. Don't think I will be taking the 'posh' one at those prices.
