Great and informative video. I have travelled on trains many times in Thailand and Malaysia. In summary, Thai trains are slow and repeatedly stop for unknown reasons. Malaysian trains are quick and efficient.
subjective lol, its crazy how so many people try to boost Malaysia like it is the best country in Asia and all is perfect Same thing VIetnam and China do too..."We the best others have problems" blah blah blah ha ha
Really nice way to travel Tom and remember how nice it was when I went to France from Germany and back. Very modern, fast and comfortable way to travel for sure. In just two weeks will be back to the Phillipines for Christmas and really appreciate your videos especially today back to beautiful Thailand. Looking forward to your next. Best wishes from cold wet Melbourne this morning
Yes take the ferry to Kuala Perlis, then by taxi or grab to Arau train station, take the Komuter train service that serve the north block to Padang Besar. Buy the train to Hatyai ticket there (they don't sell it online).... But the train to Hatyai only depart twice daily from Padang Besar, so better check the train schedule or spend a night in pandang besar.
@@ashtriana1 thanks so much , that is very kind , I am thinking of going to Satun , getting a bus to Krabi then another to Hua Hin . I can’t face the long chug up to Chiangmai so I’ll have a few days in Bangkok then head up to Chiangmai by bus for 14 nights. Thank you .
@@normhanson981 if you decided to skip hatyai, you don't need to take the train to hatyai or even the train to padang besar, if i am not mistaken there ferry service to Koh Lipe, an island off the coast of satun. Try to get a ferry out from there to Satun there..
Hi Tom, May God bless you guiding you to Thailand. Awesome trip, train ride info is great! Watching your video is enjoying the moment (smile) Have the best of time in Thailand. From Chicago USA
Funny this video popped up. I wanted to take the train all the way from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok a few weeks ago, but it was fully booked when I was in KL. In langkawi now heading home soon, maybe I'll try next time.
Wow, Tom, i love this it's so exciting to see your train ride adventure 👍! All of a sudden I want to ride trains 😂😛. Perhaps look into traveling to Africa next.
Thanks for the informative video. I am thinking of bringing my elderly parents for a trip from KL to HatYai. Now I am not so sure if going there by train is a better choice than by flight. Seems like there are a lot of stairs to walk especially at the Padang Besar station.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your experience. I certainly want to give the Business Class train ride from KL to Hat Yai a try. I tried the bus ride before. It was okay. Anyway, enjoy your travels! 😀
Do you remember what time you took off from KL, arrived in padang besar, Train ticket counter opened for Hatyai, time took off from Padang Besar and Time arrived at Hat Yai? Hope you can let me know. thank you in advance.
Thanks for the viedeo bro. Quick question : To get the Malaysia visa you need to submit the return flight ticket. How did you tackle that since you went to Thailand by train? Big thanks
If you were going to Thailand I don't understand why MJ had to go home, she would have got a 30 day Thai visa. Maybe she wanted to go but I'm sure she would have preferred travelling. Medical things are 100 times better in Thailand also.
I think Tom's found a content he can thrive with ...traveling and walking tours. I hope things are still OK with mj I'm still confused why both of you separated so quickily?? I'm thinking mj got homesick during the holiday season? I been a follower for a long time but, have noticed that both of you seldom respond to comments directly just thank yous and 👍 which is ok I do follow about a dozen other vloggers some more personally than others... preparing for my eventual move in 2024
Yeah and NY city was attacked back in 2001, i've heard they have boosted up their safety at the train stations and been no issues since Life has problems, and we solve problems as people Your making it sound like this is an every day thing
@@just_jen Oh i didn't at all, just saying the comment lacked content. I first read it i was thinking someone lauched some rockets at a train or something serious by the way you commented it 🤣 We are heading on the train here in a few days and saw your cmment and like "WHOA The UK up in Malaysia and Thailands train system??" We though something overly serious was going on From our research seemed as a one off thing that serious. But honestly saying Amtrak trains in AMerica have a 20% falling off the tracks record Malaysia/Thailand sounding much safer 🤣
So when you're bouncing from country to country. Do you already have plans of where to go and stay? Or just show up and find a hotel you want to stay at etc?
Looks so fun love your videos especially when you visit the ghetto. Its awesome how you interact with people and drink with them so cool. Cant wait for your next video
Takkan tiap2 hari nak cuci cermin tingkap tu...tambah pula musim hujan skrg biasalah tu kalau cermin tingkap kotor...yg penting dalam train bersih dan selesa
@@bobbysierraVlogs 21 US dollars ,dude ,More expensive also , BTW , The situation has changed after Indonesia 350km/h speed express train finish on the last month in 2022, and Thailand 350km/h express train will finish in 2023, Malaysia public transportation system is suddenly start toward lagged behind.
Hi sir. I'm from Malaysia. Firstly welcomes & thank you for visited Malaysia. Very nice on your vlog content. May i know, what equipment are you using to take video's? Thank you sir 😊
Thank you for the tour. But could you not show the faces of others in the frame? If you can't avoid showing their faces, could you please blur them during editing? Just FYI, trains in Taiwan, Japan and possibly South Korea are super-quiet. I wish that were the case with Malaysian trains too, in the enclosed aircon coaches. But I agree that the old train has more character.
Not sure if I missed it, but roughly how long did u took from kl to the border , and u need to wait another 1 -2 hours to buy the Thailand train ticket ? And then another 50mins from Thailand border to hatyai ? Man seems like it took a lot of hours
Nice Video. Can you tell me if you took a visa on Arrival at the local immigration or if you had a prior visa for Thailand when you crossed from Padang Besar to Hatyai. Thanks
Hi bro I watched ur video it’s good I also need information regarding the visa I’m thinking of going by flight to kuala from Thailand and coming back by train , So is it acceptable at the airport to give me visa on arrival kindly suggest thank you in advance
You better watch out sticking your head outta the train. I’ve seen some small clearance outside on some trains. You don’t wanna lose your head. 😳 Those women will be telling all their friends about your table incident. 😆

@@breezyrelaxation Why would I want to 'boost Malaysia' when I am from another part of the world nobjockey?
I was in KL Sentral yesterday😀.. the fare in KL is amazingly cheap🎉
Kuala Lumpur is so clean at the early of morning
Great video mate. You have such a positive energy, even before 6am - makes me smile when I watch.
Nice journey to Thailand, it's a shame that MJ wasn't able to enjoy the trip too but she is in Surigao for Vingle's wedding it seems.

I like your solo trips. We wanna see more food spots and local interactions.
Clear explaination on the station guide. Thanks. I intend to travel to hatyai in few months time.
bro i like how you present your content. keep it up!
What up Tom? Great videos. Great job.

Love the information contained within the journey..... Keep on going ! 👍🏼🙏🏼💯
as a anytime user , you can have ktm card for the anytime usage. you can reload anytime.
Same train to Penang, biz class they provide food, drinks
The toilet is spacious enough for the railway equivalent of “mile high club” activities🤭😋😉

Especially after some Spicy Papaya salad!
Wow, Tom, i love this it's so exciting to see your train ride adventure 👍! All of a sudden I want to ride trains 😂😛.

Great show Tom thank you for sharing. Have a great day
I'm malaysian.. always take take train to hatyai on weekend.. 😂 enjoying there
how long does the entire hat yai journey take, if you don't mind me asking? I'll be in KL for 4 days and was debating going to singapore or hatyai.
6/7 hour
Thank ya, looks like flying might be worth it
@@mrpengoat yep2.. if have an option sure take flight save ur time..

Same very easy simple to go around stay safe Tom
Hello Tom looks like a cool train ride have fun my friend stay safe God bless you

Hi. Thanks for sharing your experience. I certainly want to give the Business Class train ride from KL to Hat Yai a try. I tried the bus ride before. It was okay. Anyway, enjoy your travels! 😀
I live at Malaysia I am really happy you go here 🥰
Hat Yai is my favourite vacation for massage and seafood 👍Enjoy your holiday!
Do you remember what time you took off from KL, arrived in padang besar, Train ticket counter opened for Hatyai, time took off from Padang Besar and Time arrived at Hat Yai? Hope you can let me know. thank you in advance.
For me, the KTM train is the best, but there are less passengers because the journey is quite far to the north of Malaysia
I think the key words you wanna say is too expensive and too slow, 100 ringgit and 6hours is not better than drive car by yourself if you have one
Thanks for the viedeo bro. Quick question : To get the Malaysia visa you need to submit the return flight ticket. How did you tackle that since you went to Thailand by train? Big thanks
Tom always good to see you explore. You have fun and enjoy. Take care buddy.
Too bad the window is blurred....for a long journey a clear window is a must esp when you are traveling during the day ...
Selamat Jalan. Jumpa Lagi..
Awesome review bro
Padang Besar is a border town, it’s also my hometown
I'm in Langawi and I would like to go to Thailand but not to Krabi.o Ko Lipe. Could you recommend me a place on the coast or another island? Thankyou
If you were going to Thailand I don't understand why MJ had to go home, she would have got a 30 day Thai visa. Maybe she wanted to go but I'm sure she would have preferred travelling. Medical things are 100 times better in Thailand also.
Jules, my thoughts exactly
He likes being alone.
@@andyh5822 Tom's a loner.☺️😆
@@darlenebigstone5499 he does better meeting other females when she is not around. Do you watch his videos
Good on ya toM… f*** the haters
Train riding action .. interesting stamp your visa out .. see you on your next one .. watching from my Texas estate. 🇱🇷
I've missed your content Tom I had no Data last few weeks
Tom did you get 30days or 45days on your passport for Thailand? I know its 45 days now by air but wasn't sure about the land borders.
What about the immigration process ? Visa on arrival ?
Great video ! Thanks 🙏
Hi Tom ♥️♥️♥️ Are you happy that your alone..
Nothing's open unless it's 10am.

What an exciting journey!
Thanks for sharing!
I love how adventurous you are on these solo trips. Looking forward to your next video.
Great tutorial. I would love to try this.
The Thailand adventure begins Tom.
Just FYI in case helpful.. The UK FCDO advises against using the Hat Yai to Pedang Besar train line, which was attacked in December 2022.
Yeah and NY city was attacked back in 2001, i've heard they have boosted up their safety at the train stations and been no issues since
Life has problems, and we solve problems as people
Your making it sound like this is an every day thing
@@breezyrelaxation I'm not making it sound like anything other than an advisory from the FCDO. You dont have to take it as a personal attack.

@@breezyrelaxation a train was derailed by a bomb blast. Just once - not every day.
@@just_jen Oh well thats going to just lead to delays....maybe i'll fly
the high speed trains kinda looks like a BR class 800,1,2
I may have missed it but how long was the train rides ?
So when you're bouncing from country to country. Do you already have plans of where to go and stay? Or just show up and find a hotel you want to stay at etc?
Don’t have plan if I’m alone

how many hours from malaysia hat yai
น่าอายจริงๆสำหรับคนไทยอย่างเรา รถไฟมาเลเซียดูดีและทันสมัย แต่พอข้ามมารถไฟไทย มันน่าเหนื่อยใจกับการคอรัปชั่นที่ไม่มีที่สิ้นสุด
How you went from Malaysia? Thailand by train , that I can’t understand
Enjoy tom!!
How to buy ktm business class tickets
Nampaknya KTM kena rajin cuci tingkap kat luar.
Takkan tiap2 hari nak cuci cermin tingkap tu...tambah pula musim hujan skrg biasalah tu kalau cermin tingkap kotor...yg penting dalam train bersih dan selesa

When you say it's a dining table, you must be ashamed of the person next to you🤣🤗 when are you going to Indonesia bro?
