Train was late getting to Hua Lamphong and didn't sleep much on train but overall an experience worth having 😁

Took the overnight train to Chumphon and then boat to Koh Tao. We really enjoyed the train, second class a/c sleeper. The train set off on time but was three hours late arriving. That was fine by us as it avoided a long wait in the early hours in Chumphon. Apparently not many Thai trains run on time, but the sleeper was great. No complaints from us. Hooked up seamlessly with the boat transfer. All handled well by 12goAsia.

Everything worked out well. Only could communicate that you have to wait at the station in Chumphon until 6 am until you are picked up.So 2- 3 hours, depending on the punctuality of the train. The connection to the ferry was perfect.

Es hat alles gut geklappt. Nur könnte man kommunizieren, dass man am Bahnhof in Chumphon bis 6 Uhr morgens warten muss, bis man abgeholt wird.Also 2- 3 Stunden, je nach Pünktlichkeit des Zuges. Der Anschluss an die Fähre war perfekt.

I didn't know how long I could sleep. For the rest it was a great experience.

Would have been good to display all times before purchase. Luckily the train was 2 h late, so could sleep in and only wait for 1 h for the bus (instead of 3!). Got lucky and could take an earlier ferry, so in the end got there 1 h early.
I would be perfect if the guy in the train told us where to stop, but everything was comfortable

Its a long journey but train was comfy, bus was great & the transfer to koh tao via speed boat was bumpy but not toooooo bad. The train was delayed by 2 hrs so the connecting bus at 6am was well timed by 12go. (However the journey to Tao via Speedboat is based on your luck and the weather. Try to book a ferry ticket if the ferries are running to avoid seasickness. Not 12go’s fault tho!) 12go’s customer service was also very helpful. Thank you!
