I enjoyed the experience but it was very rugged. Definitely for adventures types. The seats do recline a little bit but the lights never go out for sleeping. Not the most comfortable night sleep ever but worth trying at least once.

Steward unhelpful.
Sadly :-( He didn't reply to my very politely asked questions regarding me getting off at the right stop - before Krung Thep/BKK. Think he knew and understod English allright, but did not reply to my Thai nor my English. He ONLY would inform of the next stop at some kind of village along the route. No service. But the new Chinese build train is great!
We did not have the option to choose the seats. If you book via thai railways you have the option.
So we were placed far apart from each other.
At the station we asked to be put together but they did not help us.
The staff on the train was very helpful.
The food is not the best desicion to eat and the seats aren't very comfortable. But the stewardess was sweet and it was very interesting to see the landscape. You can see so much things because the railway goes directly through the mountains and some sweet little villages. Very interesting
Broken seat & arrived 1.5hrs late. Lots of random stops. They did give out water, wafers and chicken burger.

We had bought a ticket to Ayuttaya and even though we told the stewardess 3 times that we were getting off in Ayuttaya, the driver didn't stop and we drove all the way to Bangkok.

The trip wasn't really nice.
No boarding at Terminal 3 as agreed, but transfer in songthaew to another location.
Fortunately, in the absence of indications on the starting platform, we, along with others, sought explanations at the counter.
At the time of boarding, only one person, a little overwhelmed, managed the passengers of five vehicles, i.e. 200 people, all in great confusion.
The bus was comfortable, but we were disembarked at the side of the highway and not at the lotus tesco as planned.
An unfortunate experience that I do not advise anyone.
12go would be wise to offer its customers more serious operators

The good: seats reclined, bus was in an ok state, we got given two water bottles, a snack and a mcdonalds burger, AC worked
The bad: bus left on time but arrived 2.5 hours late, of which at a stretch 45 minutes could be attributed to road works, the rest I’m honestly not sure. In the 11 hours it took to get from Chiang Mai to Ayutthaya we stopped a few times to pick up passengers, sometimes for quite a while, but no announcements were made to existing passengers about being able to get off to use a proper bathroom or get food, the attendant didn’t speak any English so you sort of had to guess if you have long enough time to pop out and hope the bus didn’t leave without you - bit dicey as a solo traveler. As some other reviews mentioned you don’t get left at the bus stop but on the side of a highway next to the big Lotus (which is not quite as bad as it sounds as there’s some benches and a convenience store and I was able to get a grab taxi quickly but something to keep in mind), I wonder if you could just get any ol Bangkok-bound bus and ask them to pull over
