Thank you for this video, I managed to book the new train from Hatyai to Krung Tep Aphiwat (Bangkok). Just a note : You need to book the train that indicates "Special express CNR" .. the letters CNR indicates it's the new train. If it's just "Special express" ... that is still the old train. However, these new trains are only used in certain lines. So majority of the train lines, especially those local trains, are still old trains.

Also, there is a restaurant carriage car so you can order your meals and have them bring to you at your seat :) But just to take note that the meals are slightly more expensive e.g. each set meal is about 200 THB comprising food, drink and fruit. So if you prefer cheaper options, you can get meals in the alternative way as shown in this video :)

I love the extra research and history you include. Please keep them coming.

awesome sleeper (especially when you consider the price) and an awesome video. btw how tall are you man? :D

Train journeys can be far better than flying for a relaxing and scenic journey, but they do need to be a true first class experience to justify the time spent in my opinion, and this is very far from that. Unfortunately, I don't think Thailand has any proper first class trains, aside from E&O, which is simply a very limited luxury tourism experience.

Would love to try this route someday, love these trains! Thanks for the extra bit of history, very interesting 👍

I watch a lot of videos about Thailand and yours always with a lot of information I really enjoy watching them

Done this trip a few times but stopped at Surat thani, not first class but had our own room, air-conditioned was freezing but bottom bed was big enough for 2

[nikkster]

been BKK Chiang Mai BKK to Malay border at Sungai Golok and Padang Besar also to Non Khai not too bad for cheap
all part of the experience getting from A to B should be a lot easier without starting from BanglamPho stn

[Bobrogers]

The term "first class" is relative, and you must compare it to the alternatives. Your experience was better than sitting upright in a seat for all that time. You should have been advised to bring your own food and drink.

I was very excited for this but like most things in Thailand it never works as it should be :( good video though!

[emeree]

I'm writing a story that involves travelling through Aisa in the 1980s, and your video was just what I needed to get a first feel for what travelling through Thailand by train feels like! Thank you so much for making such informative and entertaining content <3

We have used the train quite a few times from Bangkok to Ubon, and always found it to be a pleasant way to travel, yes it’s not 5 star, but have managed to sleep well enough. Really enjoy your video’s very much.

[eazykL]

Is the ticket good for 2 persons? Or you have to pay 2.4k baht each?

[TrainSounds]

Looks like there needs to be train service north of Chang Mai.

Tbh... buying new trains but not upgrading the tracks and other things.... I mean its like bringing in new airlines and planes but no proper support for them. I do hope they change and upgrade their tracks (I know its extensive work... Malaysia is doing it).

[kollapsiblelungs]

..great video, man. this definitely makes me wanna try hat yai by train. how much was the first class?

[somchaidiy]

I am very enjoy watching your video very nice view beside the rail road your video give me perfect detail I needed. thanks

[jdaviesmsu]

Yup, that lack of food and beverage options, loud noise obstructing sleep, and inability to regulate the temperature would be deal-breakers for me.

Did one overnight to Chiang Mai, and many overnighters to Isaan—all second class. By comparison, that first class wasn’t that much better. The minuscule cubbyhole compartment and cramped shower wouldn’t be enough to sway me.

If Thai Railways had to delete the restaurant car because it was losing money, then they were not doing something right. Easier to save face by just deleting the service rather than bringing in experts to bring it up to standard.

Why platform were so narrow. Which ever other countries I have been to I have not seen such narrow platform

[DisappearforDays]

I love that they got the food delivered to the station! I wish we had that when we went 😂
