The production quality is insane! Great video and can't wait to check out the new Jogja-Jakarta train 😍
Thank you bro!! yours as well man 🙌🏼
For an occasional try I would pay the 100 bucks but not for multiple trips
Haha ada mas bule disini 😂
Silahkan datang kawan....kami orang2 indonesia senang menerima tamu2 dari luar...
Tentu saja
This makes me wanna go back to Indonesia. The people are friendly and food is delicious.
They absolutely are!
Seperti saya sangat ramah dan baik hati
Thanks from indonesia ❤🇮🇩
Same 😭😭😭 so much has changed for the past 4-5 years
Food so delicious because it uses a lot of micin 😂
I didnt expect the train gonna be like aeropoane first class, the toilet just insane
Indonesian train is the best
Indonesia just set the bar for the next best train 😄
I might not sleep for the entire ride just to explore all the facilities 😂
hahah that was basically what i was doing
Indonesian First Class Sweet Compartment” from Yogyakarta to Jakarta was the best 6.5 hours time I ever spent on any train ride.
i have to agree haha
Say how many Rp. you have to buy for the 1st class?
Rp 1.600.000 @@rarenerdw9611

I did the trip on this train from Surabaya to Jakarta via Yogyakarta in October 2023.
I enjoyed the trip.
The compartment carriage was basically empty from Surabaya to Yogyakarta, it then filled up from Yogyakarta to Jakarta.
I think it is a great alternative to business class flights (provided you have plenty of time).
The scenery on the route through central Java is better than the route along the northern coast (however it takes more time).
Highly recommended. I will definitely do it again in 2024.
Yeah I agree. If we do a train again we’ll be riding this one! The scenery is amazing and so was the service.
From the Yogyakarta's city proper to the airport can get you between 1 to 1.5 hours, plus 1.5 hours to check in, 1.5 hours of flight and 30-45 minutes for your luggages if you have some. The time difference is marginal.
Hey! They have this compartment carriage on the train from Surabaya to Yogyakarta? I was trying to find one, bc my wife and I would like to ride luxury executive on that route. Do you know the name of that train and website to buy tickets? Thanks.
@@bigtommytahoeof course you can use Argo semeru compartment at a Day (9am from surabaya), or Bima compartmen at a night (7pm from Surabaya)
The Indonesia Train revolution is amaze me, even for me as Indonesian. I remember when 2010s people can ride train without ticket, broken toilet, and people can selling their stuff on the train. Then, 2015s i shocked the train station system so organized, people without ticket cannot enter the peron. At 2021 i ride train economy class, but everything is clean. The toilet is working and clean. There is air conditioner.
Im proud with KAI
I kind of missed the sellers on the train though ahaha.
My family sometimes tell stories of delicious shellfish satay they occasionally bought during train travel when I haven't born yet.
Yes the trains here are so efficient!
@@becauseiwanttoseecommentsb984 yeah it does feel nostalgic, I agree. Speaking of which, KAI released 'nostalgic theme' train a while ago iirc, with asongan selling some 'legendary' train snacks ( though they might just be train stewards in costume ). Dunno if this theme is still on the roll though
Ayo maju maju!
yeah man 2013-2015 is a peculiar era in Indonesian public transport, they just like "you know what, these ain't it", and get the shit put together
Wonderful Indonesia! Such a beautiful amazing Country!
Totally agree 👍🏼
Thanks
That seat is insane. Better than airplane seat.
I would agree haha 😅
Wow, this is news to me! Thanks for making this video. Before this, I would never have considered rail travel as an option within Indonesia. Most importantly, the toilets look super clean and everything works!
haha yes the toilet was spotless, they literally had an attendant clean it after each use!
you should try, they launch new train car on some of the routes and so far it got good reviews
Why? Train travel in indonesia, even in economy are good and comfortable
FYI All trains in Indonsia has a clean toilets
@@user-fc4op1bt4xtheir level of "clean" is different than ours, bear that in mind.
As Indonesian feeling very honoured to be compared with the US the fact that we are still developing the changes is still happening. Thank you for the appreciation of our train service
sayangnya masih goyang2
@@drippingout6154 KAI nya terus berinovasi, DJKA yang punya rel nya ga ada kemajuan. Harga sewa di naikin tapi KAI disuruh ngurus sendiri 😂
This was so much better than USA trains lol
@@alexandwhite yeah but still shaking unlike amtrack tho
@@drippingout6154 karena masih pake rel buatan belanda yang di bangun ratusan tahun yang lalu, dan lebar rel masih 1067 mm,, di Amerika lebar rel rata² 1435 mm ke atas jadi lebih stabil keretanya,,
with that price, that's unreal!!! thank you for these reviews!
no problem glad you enjoyed!
by the way, that price is a half of my salary 😅
with that price, i rather use airplane.
The best country to travel right now is Indonesia. I'm from Singapore. Love Indonesia and its people and everything
Was on board with this train from Jakarta to Surabaya.. I am a proud citizen to see the improvements of KAI and yes I had fun and enjoyed the trip.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this dude. It is an awesome production, good information, clear video, nice chit chat.. this vlog was as luxury as the train :D
Thanks so much man! Yeah man the Kai trains are getting very nice upgrades lately!
Thank you for promoting. Wish u all the best. Welcome to Indonesia
Thank you!
If you go by train from the southern route... you will get a nice view of the mountains, rice fields, hills... compared to if you take the train from the northern route....
As to the heated seats, Indonesia may feel comparatively hot for foreigners from cooler climates, but the locals may feel cold from time to time. I saw a video of Thais wearing winter clothing when the temps dropped below 21C.
I can't even stay normal using t-shirt below 24°C. I might be a bit different with my friend but i can't live in a cold place since my city only drop to 23°C or below at rainy night.
@@Raven_Ray1 Wow! For me, 24°C is very warm weather. I would be in the shade, in shorts only, and sitting by a fan to cool off.
My county never fails to make other countries HAPPY!!! ❤
Haha yess 😄
fact : did you know how indonesian eats?
they eat with their hands!
@@andoplaysbobloc20 so, are you eat with your foots? like monke?
@@andoplaysbobloc20 not all Indonesians use their hands, and not all food uses their hands.
But the issue of equal distribution of infrastructure and public services nationally must remain a top priority. That's why the government in the current era really emphasizes that development is not concentrated only on Java but also on other islands. Of course, it has its own challenges because Indonesians are moving in droves and settling in Java after completing high school, both in continuing their high school to university and also looking for work when they graduate. The visionary thinking of state leaders must be a strong basis for implementing equitable distribution but also paying attention to the demographic behavior of each region.
Wow, what a luxurious experience. You have your own compartment. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Yes! It was really nice and private 🙌🏻
@@alexandwhite Wonderful. 😀
Glad to see you guy's back Alex. Been waiting for you to release a new video and hope to see more videos of you guys because unlike other UA-camrs your videos are actually interesting and worth watching.
Thanks so much Pashtun! We’ve been busy over the holidays with family. Working on a follow up video to this now 👏🏼
Wow! I took this train from JKT-JOG with my family for our new years trip and we took economy. Had no idea the first class suites were like this 😊
You’ll have to try it next time! It’s the semeru compartment suites
Wow I didn’t know Indo’s train that great.
it is!
Indeed, it's a very nice and comfortable train. I've tried it. satisfied. Enjoy Indonesia.
Agreed! Will always try to ride this when traveling in indo!
Thats amazing! Love from Malaysia
Thats one expensive juice, nice! Great video, makes me wanna travel to jogja by this fascinating suite compartment.
"Indonesia has set the bar extremely high for other countries" hahahaha.. as an Indonesian, I feel very proud
Kintania is very proud to be orang indonesia
Thanks to Mr. Ignatius Jonan who single handedly revolutionized Indonesian train system. He was the director of Indonesian train company
gak sendirian, dia dengan kawan2 dia. Tapi beliau memang revolusioner
terimakasih sudah mencoba kereta kita (Thanks for trying out our train.)
Great video Brother Alex. I’m going to use it when I go next.
You’ll really enjoy it!
And mau bersipati kpd Bngs Kami itu cukup bagiku .aminj
I will try this one for sure! I miss Indonesia.
Def a must try!
Well finally you uploaded a video about Indonesia again, great bro.
haha yeah we were spending a lot of time with family and planning our trip to usa
I recommend you trip Jakarta -Bandung by train. I was miss missed that trip several years ago because came late unfortunately. And also you now have fast train option to that route. Thank for visiting my country and give us good vibe with your content,
Re: heating, sometimes it can get cold in Indonesia, for Indonesian standard anyway. There were times in the past when executive trains in Indonesia can get quite cold, because they run the AC in full blast. Back in the '00s I would need jacket and such heavy clothing to ride (executive) train. That wasn't the case anymore, train nowadays aren't so cold even with the AC. Kind a bit hot sometimes even. Still, the heating is probably provided just in case some Indonesians feel certain day's weather and AC is too cold.
Ahhh that makes more sense now! Haha didn’t know that
@@alexandwhiteorrr for when you catch mild flu but needs to ride train going somewhere xx 🤕😷🤧
Yeah, me too. I feel 16 oC at train feels really cold. Sometime I need to cover my full face with jacket or hat so I can sleep, escially at night train hour
Your videos getting better and better. Cant wait to see you explore bandung 😊
Thanks jefri! Yeah Kintania’s family is from Bandung so we spend a lot of time there
Yeah it’s wonderfull, Indonesia is not about Bali only, we have many island and those wonderfull!
Wauw, I was born in Indonesia and live in The Netherlands, I am schoked to found this!!!!!👍👏👏❤️❤️🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Haha I was shocked they had this such a great experience e
I've never ride it before. And this is my first time seeing this train car. Is cool🔥🔥
Glad to see you back in Indo. Happy New year. 😊👍
Thank you happy new year to you too!
Semoga lebih banyak lahi turis asing datang ke Indonesia, Aamiin Allahuma Aamiin.
as a person who live in indonesia, thanks for visiting my country, u must to try whoosh jakarta - bandung for now!
I didn't know this exist, want to try it later when I'm home. Yes, the service and hospitality in Asia is in different level compared to States, I am pursuing grad degree in the US now, low level of service with expected tips, lmao. In the end, we have to learn each another. Enjoy your trip.
i am from Indonesia and live in Yogyakarta, i am shocked to found this ! ❤
Great experience to travel with this train. Please tell me the name of the company where I can buy the tickets. Keep making wonderful video's you two ❤
you can book it at: www.kai.id its only available on some routes though (i know it runs from surabaya and yogyakarta to jakarta). When you buy the ticket just search for the train called Argo Semeru Compartment
Thanks for the info, have a safe trip in Indonesia.
Great.. Indonesia's Luxury Train one step ahead....
Indonesia has some of the best trains!
Nice trip in Indonesia,amazing
Thank you! It was great
Bro that seat can rotate to the windows view, that's insane! gotta try it!

The Name is " WHOOSH " 👍👍👍
That’s the next vlog!
@@alexandwhite ok 👍👍👍
Wowwww Amazing Indonesia❤❤❤
Iyaaaa
As Indonesian, I would say a lot of thanks to you guys for sharing those facilities that you get. Maybe for foreigners that price is nothing much but for locals the price is quite high tho, I tbh one who rarely take the train so that'll be helpful information and experience ✨
Such amazing trip
It was incredible!
amazing Traon of Indonesia
$100 is a lot in South East Asia. You can fly for $50 or less.
Fasilitas perjalanan yang nyaman ya

Hi Jason - do they have route from Jakarta to Jogja? Where can we get the tix online? Loket don’t seems to have the compartment suite
on the KAI booking website there is a route from jogja or surabaya to jakarta
