It was poor conditions on my train car. The seat I was given was narrower than the rest making it extremely uncomfortable

Didn’t like that we had to pick up our tickets from a different location before the train. You can send it straight to us or have us get it at the train station

Beds were quite comfortable. The room locked. It was possible to close the air vents as this was a bit cold. The train left on time and was only a few minutes later than advertised. The toilet was not great as it was quite smelly and very wet so tricky to use. Although someone did clean it in the middle of the night. However the cabin with a bed was very preferable to sitting up all night. Well worth the money.

I booked a night train to surat thani, October 19. As usual, I retrieved my ticket in their office of chatuchak. Everythings were PERFECT!! All my tickets were ready and just need to go to get my train. On 2024, I came in Thailand and travelled with 12 go. Everything were perfect!! Next year, I plan to come back in Thailand. Obviously, I will order my ticket train with 12 go, once again. Thanks for your job. Philippe MANY FRANCE

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Bangkok and Surat Thani Train Station, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
