Overnight train from Nongkhai to Bangkok. I'm half dead but still recommend this adventure

Hi folks, NatNomad here. An ex-Buddhist monk from Laos with a big dream of seeing the world. Throughout my time for over 10 years being a monk I kept asking myself one question "What life is like out there beyond the monastery?" and because of this question alone made me take a big step in 2014 when I finally said goodbye to my wonderful monastic life.
And now I'm doing what I've always wanted to do. Though I am not quite sure if I can say that I'm living my dream but you know what I'm loving my new adventure.
Please make sure to stick with me so we can explore new exotic places together.
Let the adventures begin!
Thanks so much for your support.

I am happy to hear that

What a journey! I hope you got some good sleep after that. Thanks for sharing.

[@natnomad]

I had the best sleep of my life that day. It was all I needed🙂

What a tiring but interesting journey! Thank you

Thanks for following my adventures😊🙏

Love your video, planning on going to Thailand, Laos for a long time!

You will love it. Have fun there

In hindsight, it may have been better (and a lot less tiring !😂) for you to have taken the DAY train from Nong Khai to Bangkok. With this option you would have views of the countryside and towns during the journey and you could have bought food and snacks while on the train to sustain you for the 11 hour journey. And when you arrive in Bangkok in the evening, you could go straight to your hostel / guest House and rest, going to bed at normal time for a full night's sleep !! Good luck for the rest of your travels ! 👍👍

I've thought about it, but for some reason, I decided to take the night, which is not the best option lol

[@keithhardy8513]

@@natnomad Agreed ! I wouldn't mind taking the DAY train from Nong Khai or Chiang Mai to Bangkok, in Third Class, but I would definitely opt for a sleeper compartment on the night train !

[@keithhardy8513]

You are really a hero taking the 11 hour overnight train from Nong Khai to Bangkok, in a THIRD CLASS CARRIAGE !!! That must have been a very hard and tiring journey !! The least I would take is the 2nd Class sleeper train, but, of course that costs a lot more than $8 🤣🤣 Very good and interesting video, by the way ! 👍👍

[@natnomad]

I've always gone for the cheaper if not the cheapest, haha. The sleeping cabin would be much for comfortable for such a long journey
