I also used to take the 2nd class sleeper from Bangkok to Chiang Mai back in 1986 & 1987, so this brought back some good memories. One tip for anyone thinking about doing it, it's generally more comfortable on the bottom bunk as there is less rocking from side to side.

Great video always. I enjoy watching. Enjoy guys!!

Book in advance but you should was a fun journey!

Definitely fly, it’s an hour and 30 minutes from Bangkok, cost $40-$90 one way, so worth it if you’re on a tight schedule. The bus and train just take too long, I’ve done it. Be aware of the super cheap trains (locals use) lots of cockroaches on the journey with you. In Chiangmai now and its fab

Nice work guys.

I took the sleeper train with my girlfriend to Chiang Mai about six years ago. I don't think I actually slept, but the accommodations were comfortable. We flew back and it was the first airplane trip my girl had ever taken. More expensive but worth it for so many reasons.

Amelia what back pack would you recommend ? Was looking at the osprey 50 freeview ?

We did it. Wouldn't do it again. For one thing, you don't see anything on the overnight train. If you want to see the scenery take a daytime train and get to CM (or BK) in the evening.

When you bought tickets in advance are they in your phone or you Have to pick them up from their office?

Note to self: Print tickets Cold at night No plug sockets

@@michaelnaluz8536 i have traveled in sleeper only thrice because of horrible smeel and toilet plus no reservation. 💀 I have left sleeper long back and i dont recommend anyone to travel unless their financial condition is not upto the mark

Is the train punctual?

i slept as a baby on the lowest class seat. 279thb worth every baht.

taxi driver don't know new station &.I think driver not use meter 😭 It is train number 109 arrive chia gmai on 4 pm omg I recommend you to book ticket from d-ticket it is official srt app or website most tourist book from agency not book from official srt(d-ticket) no need to print ticket you can show from d-ticket application favorite train to chiangmai for foreigner is train number 9 but favorite for rail fan is number 51

a poor country 😭😥
