Great video, Kevin! I absolutely would take that overnight train as an alternative to flying. Thanks for sharing it with us and for all the tips. Too bad you didn't sleep well. I once took an overnight train between Moscow and St. Petersburg and it was one of the best sleeps I've ever had. I was worried I wouldn't be able to sleep since I have difficulty sleeping on planes, but I guess the motion of the train rocked me to sleep. Cheers!
14:22 Yo, Kev, I think the reason why sleeping on most trains are not comfortable as a ship is due to the bunk orientation. The fore and aft layout became the custom in the US and British Navies for practical as well as health reasons, and over time, it became standard practice. So, you and I, as veterans, are used that. But, from what I believe, the brain best assimilates (even subconsciously) when the body is positioned parallel to the motion of your travel vector. Civies experience this too when driving long distances. Easy to sleep in a reclined passenger seat ...drooling all the way. LOL
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video! I recently took the train from Surat Thani to Bangkok, but the first-class cabin was not quite as nice as yours. Thanks for making this video, and wishing you many more wonderful journeys! 👍🏼
Great video Kevin! I loved the tour and wow how beautiful the train station was. Hope the delay wasn’t difficult getting to the condo and look forward to seeing the new place! 🌊☀️
I took this ride in 1976. We paid extra for the air conditioned first class cabins. About an hour into the trip, there was a pop and a flash at the electric breaker box in the first class car and the power went out for the remainder of the trip. We spent the evening taking turns hanging our heads out the door window at the end of the car because that was the only window that could be opened. And spent the cool night sweltering in the bunk in the sealed, unventilated first class cabin.
Really nice, private for a train ride. So you are on the go again! Enjoying catching up on your Travato videos, thinking of buying one. Thanks for all the good info.
I run camper van building business. This train interior is done very neatly n finishing is professional and safe. Lot to learn from this tour for camper build. 👍
Thanks for the video! I have a house in Chiangmai and have taken the train 12-15 times over the last 25 years, as I go between the U.S. and Thailand. I carry 2 suitcases and a carryon, so it’s cheaper to take a train than fly. I’ll be coming back to Thailand in September and may try to get a sleeper car instead of a second class air conditioned seat if they still offer a discount. I’ve never been able to sleep on a train, even after flying for 24 hours from the U. S., which makes it difficult to stay awake that first day, since the train arrives in the morning. I’ll bet the train never made up that 2 hour delay. One time, the train that I was on broke down on the way to Chiangmai, about halfway. After an hour, it was decided to have the passengers disembark. There were enough vehicles contacted locally to take us to Chiangmai for slightly over the cost of the train ticket. At Chiangmai, I was able to get a full refund of my original ticket at the train station.
Haha love the comparison of sleeping on a ship vs sleeping on an RV when someone else is driving. I can relate to both! I can see why the bunks remind you of the Navy. I actually thought that when I saw this - looks like being on ship! 😆
When you went on the train ride what about your bike do they have a place for your your little motorcycle could you look like you're having fun and I'm glad you are life is too short not to do what you want to do in life so thanks for sharing the video cuz I'm watching it now so stay safe be careful over there and lots of loves and hugs to you and your family 💜💜🙏🙏🤠🤠
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Being a passenger train buff myself, let me add my two cents. First, it’s a bummer that the dining car was not open, that’s usually a great experience and one of the things that makes traveling by train so unique and pleasant. Your comment about the night’s sleep not being as good may have to do with the bed being perpendicular to the direction of travel. I noticed that the beds in the second class cabins were lined up in the direction of travel and may have been more conducive to good sleep. Lastly, it’s surprising that a first class cabin would not have its own bathroom, making it awkward to have to walk out of the room in the middle of the night. But hey, the price was right…:)
Thanks for sharing!! I LOVE trains. The roomettes on Amtrak have their own bathroom/shower. I take Amtrak to two Seattle Clients. I don’t own a vehicle (for my small footprint ways) so when trains are an option I always choose train before anything else. Wishing you great adventures ahead!
Looks really nice! Much more luxurious than the sleeper train I took in Vietnam ages ago 😆. Thought of your motorcycle trip yesterday, we had to brake for an iguana in the road on the way to the airport in Costa Rica. All parties unharmed! Enjoy the beach.
looks so comfy' and i am 5/3 lol' i could fit up top i suppose'' the extra blanket was a plus'' i bet huh worked out great and i bet you were much warmer' i cover my head when the air gets to cold to breath' that works out pretty good''ya i bet the train could be bumpy' I cant wait to see the new place
Ok I’ll try the Train at least one way next time. I’ve been a Plane Snob whenever I visited Thailand in the past. I like the idea of Booking the entire cabin for just yourself
Cool video. We have always wanted to ride the train from NYC to San Francisco. Enjoy your new place at the beach! Also, the video showing my Camp Hovey barracks room in Korea is up if you still wanted to see the tour. 🤙
Hi Kevin you looked fairly comfortable except for the cool air. I truly admire how you travel solo and seem to Enjoy yourself I share your videos with my family and friends can't wait to see you again in vanlife 😁😁
Underway, shift colors. That was interesting, thanks for sharing and providing the good advice. I took an overnight train in China and got a smoking roommate, I spent most the night outside the room. As always, looking forward to the next adventure.
Hello and happy new year. I have watched about 10 or 12 of your videos. I am now watching your train trip from Chiang Mai to Bangkok I’m so intrigued. Quick question white 67 female I’ve traveled the country pulling an RV etc. Alone. I want to do this, can I?
Yeah, I think it's perfectly safe for a solo female traveler. Thailand as a whole is generally safe. I know tons of solo females there and never head of any issues.
I LOVE the various options we have for traveling. As a matter of fact when I’m flying I ALWAYS take a sweater/light jacket even when it’s summer time bc it always freezing on the plane. I’m trying to expand my forms of traveling to include trains. 🤣🤣. It’s probably a bad time to start here in the U.S. bc trains may be packed due to price of gas. I’m sure you’ve heard or seen prices in U.S. How has price of gas in Thailand affected you? Thank you for sharing this new experience.
@30AndAWakeUp Ah ok cool. Will probably do the same. And yeah, Pattaya is just too wild for me, LOL 😆. Loved the 131 baht bus I took from Bangkok to Pattaya, though. Super affordable and efficient. Only took like 1.5hrs
Hi, Kevin! Did you book your ticket before you claimed it at the station? Do you have the link to the website for it? I'm hoping you can share it with us. Thank you! By the way, I love your informative tour videos. Keep 'em coming.
Before the world was on fire I made a trip to Thailand and wanted to do the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai but the first class options were booked for weeks. I knew they were popular, but darn! haha. Maybe on my next trip out there.
I've taken a quick look at this video, so far, and will have to finish watching the video since it looks as if you are comfortable on that train from what I've picked up on,at the beginning!See ya soon!🌺🚄🛏️☕
Did you leave bumblebee in Chang Mai? Paddy Doyle did this trip with his motorcycle a while back. It was quite an adventure. Also he had food stops along the way.
I bought mine a few days earlier but there were only 2 first class cabins being used and I think there is around 20. However that could change as people start to travel more.
I’ve taken the train between Bangkok and Chiang Mai many times over the last 20 years. I have a house in Chiangmai but had to move back to my hometown Kansas City while my 3 step children and my infant son went to school through high school. I’ve got 3 more years left. I do come back once a year. I usually take the second class sleeper in an older train because they have places to stack your luggage and I have two large suitcases and a carry on from flying over. Sometimes I fly but still go by the train station to ship the luggage so I can take Thai Air Asia and not pay for luggage. One time, I took the train and it broke down halfway going to Chiangmai. It must happen often enough that people with SUV’s showed up to take us for slightly more than I had paid for my ticket. Once we got to Chiangmai, I got a refund for my ticket.
Nice video! Big Bang Theory is the best use of otherwise "un-useable" time. I would love to do a BBT marathon - sadly I just don't have enough time that is not better spent doing all kinds of other stuff. Wonder if I'll ever get thru all of them... Thanks for taking us on this ride with you, and the tips, just wondering what's happening with Bumble-bee?
Nice video. I took this train pre-Covid when the kitchen was open. The food was surprisingly good. BTW, are you watching Netflix through your Thai or US subscription (VPN)?
Would like to try taking a train, but after Comparing the pricing between flight and the train from CNX to BKK, most of the time taking overnight train could be more expensive than taking a flight. Taking an overnight train certainly is more interesting though.
Great video. Very interesting how much luxury you got for $70. I was wondering what happened to the bike? Did I miss a video about selling the bike? Thanks
I was wondering, and I see from the comments that you sold your scooter. Originally you told us how much it cost. Did you get a good price for it? After selling it, how much do you figure the cost per time usage was?
I don’t know why, but all long distance trains through That part of the world are freezing. We did the KL to SIN trip about 10 years ago and our journey was soooo cold.

Hi! I Love this!!! It’s on my bucket list 👏⭐️
It was a fun experience.

My gripewith Asian hotels is the super cold way they airconditon the rooms too. Freeze your ears off in them.
