One of the best trip reports I have ever watched on UA-cam. The information is detailed, to the point, and usable. Thank you for uploading and sharing with us, Emma.
My abiding memory of passing from Thailand to Malaysia on the International Express was the notice at the border warning us that the import of "silk bloomers" was prohibited. Many of us took photos of this unusual sign.
Thailand is currently continuously developing its railway transportation system. The construction and upgrade of the first phase of the dual-track railway from Bangkok to Chumphon are nearing completion. The section from Bangkok to Nakhon Pathom is under construction, as is the segment from Hua Hin to Chumphon. Meanwhile, the middle section from Nakhon Pathom to Hua Hin has already been completed and is in service. so the first phase will complete with in 2025. As for the second phase of development, from Chumphon to Hat Yai, construction approval is expected to begin in 2025, with completion anticipated by 2030. Once operational, the Southern Railway Line will provide more punctual services, increased frequency, and reduced travel times. At the designated speeds of 100-120 km/h set by the State Railway of Thailand, the journey from Bangkok to Hat Yai will take no more than 10-12 hours. Regarding passenger carriages, the first- and second-class CNR carriages currently in use represent the highest standards of general service provided by the State Railway of Thailand, excluding special tourism-oriented trains. These carriages evoke the feel of early 2000s Japanese diesel trains. Third-class services, however, reflect an era closer to the 1980s-1990s, when Thailand transitioned from steam locomotives to diesel-powered trains. The State Railway of Thailand is preparing to expand its services by approving the purchase of over 100 additional CNR carriages in 2025. These are expected to be operational before 2030. This expansion will ensure that long-distance routes, such as Bangkok-Hat Yai and Bangkok-Chiang Mai, will offer air-conditioned carriages across all classes (first, second, and third). Additionally, the railway authority is currently developing and testing locally manufactured passenger carriages under the "New Horizons" project, designed and built by Thai manufacturers. These carriages will feature first- and second-class services styled similarly to business class on airplanes. They are expected to enhance the railway's offerings, with trial services planned for 2025. Since Thailand is capable of manufacturing its own railway passenger carriages, I once thought that, in the future, we might even be able to produce dining cars designed like mobile 7-Eleven stores. Passengers could purchase chicken steak burgers, ham and cheese sandwiches, popular beverages, and even enjoy heated meals, just like in any regular 7-Eleven store!! In the next five years, I believe travel within Southeast Asia (SEA) or ASEAN will be highly interconnected, offering convenience, affordability, and safety. Travelers will be able to journey via dual-track railway starting from Singapore, passing through Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, and ending in Kunming, a major city in southern China. Additionally, within approximately the next 5-10 years, high-speed rail services will likely connect Bangkok to Nong Khai and further to Vientiane, eventually terminating in Kunming as well. This development is expected to reduce travel times significantly, with journeys taking only 15-18 hours. This means that you could travel from Bangkok, Thailand, to Kunming, China, in no more than 20 hours (around 15 hour), which is comparable to the current travel time by train from Bangkok to Hat Yai. 😂😂😂

Great information.Thanks for the detailed update regarding State Railways of Thailand
The total train prices you listed are in the currency of the country? So USD 🇺🇸💲125 total for your train trip to KL Sentral from BKK?
1:22:37 Taiping is not the capital of Perak, it's Ipoh.
flying must be cheaper.
