That’s overrated. You’re going to burn an entire day of vacation just sitting in a chair looking out a window. And spending as much for a 90 minute plane ticket
@@emusdad If you have too short an attention span for a road trip that's on you. It's your opinion that it's a waste of a day. Sometimes it's not about getting to a location asap, it's about the adventure of a road trip
You’re so triggered by my comment you felt the need to insult me? They says more about you than me. We’re done here, don’t respond. I don’t talk to trash
Thank you so much for admitting that flying would have been cheaper- loved how you put that clip in the middle. It’s been a burning question as to why folks opt for the sleeper train and you have addressed that today- that’s its for the experience. I appreciated that nugget drop very much. Love your channel. Good luck
Fully convinced me to go on the train! I was tied between bus and train but tbh I'll be taking a lot of buses round SEA, but not many trains, so gotta experience it all! Love the little visual flairs, and you guys really covered the whole experience. Thanks!
@@hobbitholebooks832 We did that. Did the Mae Hon Song loop on motorbikes. That's mostly where my hate for those vans comes from. Those guys come screaming around curves on the complete opposite side of the road. 😅
One location in Thailand I would highly reccomend is Kanchanburi, it has many world war II historical locations and has one of the bluest waterfalls in Thailand named "Erawan Falls' Its about a 3 to 4 hour "car" ride from Bangkok. Hope you enjoy the stay in Chiangmai and the north!😄 Edit: amazing editing skills btw
I did the same trip other way around.. on the newer express sleeper with diner/cafe and clean and modern toilets. The staf was amazing. En the experiance unforgetable
We wanted to do a train ride but ended up just booking flights. We have our 9 yr old traveling with us and really wanted to book a 1st class cabin, but it wasn't available to book online. Plus with limited time in the country it just made more sense to travel by plane. It gives us the most time in each city to explore. We'll be heading that direction in about 20 days!
lol the ship joke was funny. That actually looks better than a ship bearthing bud. Good informative video bro as i will be heading to Bangkok here in about three weeeks. Love from North Carolina 💪🏽
That's a fact. Small boys and subs? Oh 100% so much nicer, but staying on of the French or Japanese ships...They might be able to hold up. haha. Have fun on your trip to Bangkok. Some people find it a bit overstimulating. We thought it was awesome
Did you two try khao soi in Chiang Mai? It's a must-try when you visiting nothern thailand. Don't miss out! I would love to see more about your food adventures in Thailand!😊
Hello guys, I'm a Thai guy. If you go to Chiangmai I advise you that should go there by flight better. The train in Thailand is not good it's very slow and hot. Most of Thai people will popularly go to Chiangmai or Phuket island by car or bus or flight. Of course, you might be additional pay. But it will be more convenient and faster certainly.
Hey thanks. Yeah normally we would fly, but it's not something we get to do every day so decided to take the train for a bit of adventure. Plus we had a sleeper car with AC. Went to bed and basically woke up already close to Chiang Mai
If you have too much money, you can always fly. Personally, I always choose the night train because you save money on the hotel and travel horizontally without any airport checks and you can move freely on the train.

Thank you. All we can do is keep working hard and create videos we enjoy and preach responsible tourism. Obviously we aren't perfect, and don't strive to be, but we want people to see that travel can be both fun and non-destructive
I stumbled on to y'alls channel while doing research for a cycling trip to Thailand I'm planning. (Specifically, I'm traveling to Chiang Mai to do some road/gravel bike riding.) I was researching options for getting to BKK with my bike and might travel by train. I think there's accommodation for oversize luggage/bikes. Anyhow, I'm loving the content y'all are putting out! This was a dope surprise finding this channel, sub'd!!!
Hey thanks! That sounds like it could be a fun experience. Also we saw a lot of bike riders up near Chiang Rai as well if you make it up that far. Might be another good area for it
Hi! Could you please include where is the station in BKK? And what is the number train? I believe this is the same train we booked for our upcoming Chang Mai trip. I just want to make sure. Thank you!
Sorry. Just seeing this. We left a bit of information in the description but here a little more detail. Did you buy tickets online through 12GO? If so you have to pick them up at an MRT station near Chatuchak Weekend Market. I'd do this like a day in advance. Had we picked them up the day of I think we would have been in big trouble. The train is going to vary as they have two different sleeper car trains that make the route to Chiang Mai. We took special express train no. 9 I believe. The station is called Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. Also known as Bang Sue Grand Station when you google it. It's not hard to find, but the platform is. You'll likely have to walk to the very far right and then back (there will be signage) We left from Gate B, Platform 1. But definitely check the departing gate properly. It might not be the same. Hope that helps. It's a lot of information, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly!
Hi! No worries, our trip is next year so this is very timely and helpful. This very informative details are really appreciated and also for sharing your experiences thru this video😊
hey guys, thank you for the video very informative! I am about to do this trip but where exactly do you board the train? I know now where to pickup tickets but where does the train leave from :) thank you!
Hey guys. Great video! I am thinking of doing the overnight train with my family from Chian Mai to Bangkok. I have four kids ages 3,6,8, and 11. Do you think it is doable? I have 3 boys. The open area concerned me a bit.
You need to push a button to open a door to each compartment. I don't think your two youngest kids will be able to reach that button, but there was also someone who was walking up and down the aisles until people went to sleep. I also believe there is a newer train, different from the one we took, but I'm not sure how to go about booking it.
Unlucky you went with the old sleeper train, the newer carriages are cleaner and more comfortable including the bathrooms. Importantly, it pays the same ticket price.🤭✌
It is in the works. Just not this trip. We want to be to spend a lot of time there so we're planning another trip to stay there for something like 30 days
People who just take the planes , and sprint their way through place to place just does not know how to vacation and experience what most people take for granted it's time and nature.
Hey so I looked quickly. It doesn't look like there are any available until Jan 22. Could be because that is when the busy part of the travel season starts, and holidays, that they are already booked up. If you're already in Bangkok or will be in Bangkok well in advance of your trip, try going to the station directly. Otherwise it looks like buses or flights are still available
I just booked a sleeper Train via 12Go in january. They will offer busride and flights first, since is comfier and faster. But you can scroll down and then find the train options. I just checked it and there are plenty of options. Save travels ✌🏼
Are you willing to travel to China? China has big cities like Hong kong , Shanghai , Shenzhen. ,Chengdu. , Chongqing , Dalian and Shenyang , many delicious Chinese food !
Take the 70 dollar and 90 minute plane ride. Unless you plan to be in country for a month and can stand to waste so much of your vacation time. But if you’re only gonna be in Thailand 10-12 days, don’t waste an entire day if it in a train
As a Thai i would not suggest to the traveler for travel by train because it's not much comfortable and a price is not different from VIP bus 24-48 seats which more comfortable unless if you want to get an experience and have a a lot of time . By the way welcome to my hometown Chiang Mai and i wish you both would happy while stay here and feeling slow lifestyle of Chiang Mai .
I agree that traveling by land is better than flying. You get to actually see the different parts of the country.
exactly. flying is so routine
That’s overrated. You’re going to burn an entire day of vacation just sitting in a chair looking out a window. And spending as much for a 90 minute plane ticket

Same for us. We take so many buses that it's nice to switch it up. Those bus rides in Thailand aren't for the faint of heart either!
@TheDetourDuo literally why I wanna ride a bike to Pai instead😂 762 turns in a van? No thanks lol. Take it my own pace!
@@hobbitholebooks832 We did that. Did the Mae Hon Song loop on motorbikes. That's mostly where my hate for those vans comes from. Those guys come screaming around curves on the complete opposite side of the road. 😅

Genius to match your t-shirt with the train curtains 😀😀
totally not planned lol
I did the same trip other way around.. on the newer express sleeper with diner/cafe and clean and modern toilets. The staf was amazing. En the experiance unforgetable
We have to try that next time. Heard the newer car is way better

Makes sense! We had open ended time so decided to opt for some adventure. Have a great trip!!
Glad yall are having fun, stay safe.
Thanks! We're doing both for sure
Thank you for liking the places to visit in Thailand.🇹🇭

Bro your transitions are so creative 8:06 love it been binging your channel

My guy! Thanks Art!
This week we have Roy Kratong ceremony (Yee Peng in Chiangmai).
Yup. We'll be here for it! Where's the best place to see the ceremony?
@@TheDetourDuo I suggest Thapae Gate and Chiang Mai City Municipality Office.
You can try going to the south of Thailand, such as Krabi, Phuket, Hua Hin, Pranburi, where there are very beautiful seas. 🏝️🌊

@37codename thanks for watching. Let us know if you have any more questions too.
Would definately recommend doing the day time trip rather than overnight. Much better to take in the view in daylight . 👍
Thanks for the recommendation!
Which hostel you stayed at? It looks so good!
And Great video. Just booked the sleeper Train and can’t wait for the experience 😍
Thanks! Hope you enjoy the experience. We stayed at the Anumat Premium Budget Hotel

Try first class on the train and share a two berth cabin
we're trying to maintain a daily budget so we can travel as long as possible. That sometimes involves making compromises
Unlucky you went with the old sleeper train, the newer carriages are cleaner and more comfortable including the bathrooms. Importantly, it pays the same ticket price.🤭✌
We went with what was available 🤷♀️
Great for try going new things ❤
Thank you. Always!
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the tip!
That Thai movie is Called Ong Bak
Sure is. Classic
I think you must try to go in the Philippines. Theres a lot of friendly people, compare to the other South East Asian Countries. 😊
It is in the works. Just not this trip. We want to be to spend a lot of time there so we're planning another trip to stay there for something like 30 days

Hello guys thanks for the video! I going to chiang mai 15 january. I can’t not find sleeper Train on 12Go! Please help.

@@Ostkind84 Thanks for checking this!
Crispy pork belly(Moo krob) is the best 🔥
So good!
If you bought tickets in advance did you buy directly from train station or a third party?
We bought them in advance through 12go
I appreciate the train travel. Flying can be so boring
Exactly. Why opt for routine when a new experience is right there
welcom to in indonesia
not yet, but thank you in advance
Are you willing to travel to China? China has big cities like Hong kong , Shanghai , Shenzhen. ,Chengdu. , Chongqing , Dalian and Shenyang , many delicious Chinese food !
China is in the plans eventually. We'd love to see Hong Kong. Might be a little challenging for us right now.
That toilet-hole transition 10/10
haha I was hoping someone would appreciate that!
Will you stay in Chiangmai until loykratong day?
yup we're here!
6:43 ONG BAK?? ❤😍
yup!
Why didn't you get a room on the train first class
we're on a budget and this fit our needs
Take the 70 dollar and 90 minute plane ride. Unless you plan to be in country for a month and can stand to waste so much of your vacation time. But if you’re only gonna be in Thailand 10-12 days, don’t waste an entire day if it in a train
We like slow travel and the experience of it
this is what i call "adventure lol
Just the beginning of one lol
Pay less for no AC…? That’s a thing?
Couldn't be use if even the option
Choo choo
🚂
💖💖🌺💞🤟🤟💘💐

Un BAK! Or whatever his name is lol
Haha pretty close. Classic film
Press follow 😄

ONG BAK!
honestly love that film. Introduced me to Tony Jaa
Tom yum goong
Such an underrated film!
As a Thai i would not suggest to the traveler for travel by train because it's not much comfortable and a price is not different from VIP bus 24-48 seats which more comfortable unless if you want to get an experience and have a a lot of time . By the way welcome to my hometown Chiang Mai and i wish you both would happy while stay here and feeling slow lifestyle of Chiang Mai .
We will always prefer to ride the train. Buses are not comfortable or enjoyable for us.
