- 2.5hours delay. But why? We left Chiang Mai to go visit the big city of Thailand. Bangkok. Let me show you the train journey from Chiang Mai Railway station, all the way to ASOK BTS. It didn't go as expected! We also paid our last visit to the old railway station in Bangkok: Hua Lamphong.

The Bangkok Railway Building (Hua Lamphong) was not demolished, but would be used to make the Railway Museum and the King Rama V and Rama IX Museum.
Ey Naphat! Thanks for the update. I did hear that too actually but, that was after I shot this. Thanks for your input! I’ve pinned your comment so we all can see it 🤗 cheers and have a good day
I made my first Bkk-CM train journey on Christmas Day, 2003. The seats were slatted wood benches, the carriages were the old style where you stepped into the open to go between them, and there were three other people in my carriage (all Thai) for the entire 12-hour journey.
Absolutely loved it, and would do it again in the same manner . . . if I wasn't an oldie now.
The big bonus of that day, of course, was meeting my now wife 😎
No way! That’s a love story right there! I’m happy for you mate :) thanks for your input❤️😁 I had a similar experience in Myanmar although no love story for me that time 😉
Thanks for sharing that! Cheers
I've always enjoyed the open aired trains in Thailand. The few times I took the air con trains I really didn't like it. Felt stuffy and uncomfortable. Kinda like a long airplane ride. When I traveled CM to Bangkok, and vise versa, did the night time sleeper. When I went to Hat Yai it was 2nd class air con like yours. Really didn't like it. The 3rd class, as you've said, are fun as you hang your head out the windows. And, lots of food vendors get on and off between stops. Great food and priceless memories!
You feel mate! Haha, I guess some people love it and some people don’t 😊
It was still a nice experience! Next time it will be 3rd class again 😃
Thanks again mate!
And thanks for always keeping me on planes!😆 Nice job staying positive!
Hahaha! Yeah mate I’ll do it for the team next time again no worries 😜
I once attempted that trip, but our train went off the tracks and never arrived in Chiang Mai to pick us up. I guess a good idea is to avoid train trips during the monsoon season. :)
No way!? Like while driving? 😱 that’s so dangerous. I’m glad you’re able to send me a message! Are you ok? Aah you reckon it has something to do with the rain season? Cheers! 🙏🏼
Hey Champ, I love me some Thailand train travel. The current plan is they won't destroy the old station but integrate it into whatever happens there.
Ow cool! I’m glad they decided not to knock it down just yet! It’s such an iconic building. It could be a big temporary homeless shelter for insurance
@@Chai_Travel Not sure what it's next life will be as, but I am happy it will be still be part of the city landscape.
Your CM videos were some of the best vlogs on youtube,
looking forward to your Bangkok trip
safe travels
Dan😃 this comment is one of the loveliest comments I’ve had mate! I’m really glad you enjoyed 🤗 let’s explore Bangkok 🥳 cheers mate 🙏🏼 have a good day
Thanks to Jeroen I found your vlog, I love Thailand and unfortunately I have been postponing my visit for two years. So in the meantime I will enjoy your videos.👍🎄
Ey Edwin 🤗 welcome on board! Two years is a long time! Are you able to go soon? There’re over 100 videos available on this channel and I hope you enjoy some of them 🙏🏼 I do have to say I’ll be moving away from Thailand for a while but I’m sure I’ll return one day. Absolutely love it here.
@@Chai_Travel Thank you Chai for your recommendations, maybe when you return, the world will be more reliable and safe.👍👍
@@edmo43 gotcha mate! I hope you will get though this uncertainty moment ok! Cheers and stay in touch!
Hi Chai- last week, Dton and I travelled from BKK to Buriram on a 2nd class train with AC too. What was supposed to be a 6 hr trip turned into a 7.5 trip due to a break down. We only paid 375 ea and we didn't get a meal. Instead, there were dozens of vendors who boarded at different stations selling delicious food. You definitely had a newer car. Our seats were not comfortable, no table trays and no electrical outlets. I tried to move to a forward facing seat but was reprimanded by the officer lol and had to get back to my backward facing seat ;-( Enjoy your time in BKK! -Raun
No way haha! That’s a funny story in I feel when I read I read you are just going with it :) easy going mate 😁 it’s all part of the journey right!? Thanks for sharing mate. I’m glad that you eventually got there :p
Ah so nice you got to experience Hua Lamphong Station. What a fitting goodbye. Never got to try it out so you’re extremely lucky!
This is a cool, informative train ride for anyone wanting to travel the same route! 🚂 too bad there was no food carriage, you would have had a little bit of socializing there I bet! Anyway, hope you’re enjoying Bangkok champ!!! 💪 😎 🎉
Ow man I definitely consider myself lucky and I’m happy to share this luck a little via this way 🤗
Good carriage!? How about a bar? 😆 that would be sick! Haha cheers
Nice one! mate! So when are we gonna meet up? I can ask you why oh why Bangkok! Or you have already left by now....
Yo Pat! No no! Haha I would love to see you before I head out of the country 😃 I’ll Dm you later on today 🤩
Bangkok Pat's Channel is really worth a look.
Yo Andrew! 💯 indeed! He so good!
I once caught the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. It was an overnight trip and I had my own little room to sleep in. It was a nice trip with AC. I think it was a 14 hour trip but I might be wrong. It was a good experience. Sorry to see you experienced such a delay.
Nice one Earl! Yeah Ooo fancy! Haha that sounds nice 😁 14 hours sounds about right! I think the fastest is doing it in 10.5 but most of them tak longer :) I’m glad you had a good experience! Aw no need to be sorry mate thanks! I had a good time regardless 🤩 cheers
@@Chai_Travel Haha! My travel buddy arranged it. Had it been up to me, I would've probably just gotten a regular seat. Looking forward to your Bangkok adventures!
@@Earl_Richter haha I think it has both its charms 😜 thanks. Have a good one mate 🙏🏼
Mijn nachttrein naar het zuiden vanuit Hua Lamphong had 2 uur vertraging richting Phang Nga in 2019. Stond de hele tijd diesel rook te spuien in het station voor de airco waarschijnlijk. Dan verderop nog eens een uur staan wachten, verschrikkelijk.
Nee joh! 😅 dat klinkt niet al te best! Bah bah! Ik krijg meer en meer te horen dat er heeel veel vertraging is. Ik heb dus al die tijd geluk gehad. Vieze diesel rook!
Bedankt en groetjes! 😄
Leave you an alternative way for distance travelling, it is the bus. It normally takes only 8 hrs from CM to Bkk. The bus has a several type depends on price from fan bus to first class bus. Hope you back soon and trial it next trip champ. 🙂🙂🙂
Yo Tanabon :D thanks. Haha, I did consider it but I’d always took this train by night and I kinda had to check it out by day this time 😅 I love the comfort of the seats of the Thai busses. Some are really good! Thanks again mate. Have a good day
Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈
Thank you Mr C 🥳 happy new year to you too 🍾🥂 all the best in 2022🤩
Yo Chai, you have to take a train in Thailand one time in your travel life mate, and you did, just suck it up and enjoy 😉 in the end you got there 👊
Thanks for sharing it mate and as always, C Ya in the next one 🙌🍻 cheers you deserved it after that long trip 🍻💪
Thanks mate! Aw I felt like a beer as well! And everything is open till midnight here in bKk so I was able to grap a beer 🥳 once in a lifetime..: at least! Haha thanks again! C ya in the next!
Thank you for sharing my friend , can I asked in Bangkok when the BTS station closed
Around midnight 🤗
Keep going bro😍
Wow, You were quick this time! Cheers mate ;) you too!
I catch the overnight train from nong khai to Bangkok regularly it always leaves on time and arrives on time.
Yo Tim! Right?! I was surprised as well :) the train had just technical issues. No worries. We all arrived safely:)
Hai! Volgende week nemen wij ook de dagtrein van Bangkok naar Chang Mai! Ik heb je filmpje nog niet afgekeken, maar kan je de treinreis (overdag) aanraden? Of is het een hel hahah :P
Haha, ja Cinisha… volgende keer gewoon mijn video’s helemaal afkijken hoor! 😜
Ik zou persoonlijk de nacht trein nemen. Het is een hele belevenis! Het zicht vanuit de trein is wel erg mooi maar vaak staan er toch bomen in de weg 😅
Het is een persoonlijke keuze. Het is zeker geen hel! Haha you will love it 😍 verwacht alleen geen NS stoelen 😆
Groetjes en veel plezier! 🏆
Hello just seen your video on Thai train I was train guard in UK just looking at this video now living in Buriram been here 7 years about Thai train never on time because the system not very good the truck's only single have some passing by points to wait train pass and wait for a key to go on the single line so over train late you will be late this is the reason why the train always late anyway Thailand
Aw thanks for the input :) You’re actually not the only one who pointed this out :) I guess I was just lucky with the times before 😁 they did hand out free food though. I was surprised 😃 I’ve visited Buriram! I like there 😊 cheers
I enjoyed the train ride, its way better than taking a bus. I took a bus ride from bangkok to the south where you hop on a ferry to kho samui. Never again.... A train ride is so much better. Your bum will appreciate it
Haha you true! Haha 🤪 busses can have very comfortable seat although I just like the fact that I can walk around whenever I want :)
You've lots of patience Chai, then again you have to have when travelling.
I did a bus ride all the way from Manchester - London - Calais - Brindisi - Athens, many years ago, it was 2.5 days aha...proper sore bum.
Would you do this train again, or fan train, or fly?
Enjoy Bkk & stay safe champ.
Yo Tman! 2.5 day’s 😱 big trip! You gotta love it! Haha I’m sure you had a sore bum! Must have been a memorable trip. Do you look back with a smile?
Yeah man, I would do it again. Maybe non aircon next time :)
Cheers
GREAT VIDEOS!
Thanks Vivo! I’m glad you enjoyed 🤩😄🤗 have a good day
In all my years in Thailand, I have never seen that style of fan train where there are no open windows almost looks like the Sprinter Air Con the most expensive train possible that has the meals included. These are the trains that the stations like Chiang Mai always sell tickets to foreigners. Unless you speak to them in Thai that you want a 3rd class ordinary train is this the ticket they will sell you.
What they tend to have on that run most of the time over the last ten years is what I have always referred to as the Garbage trains the ones that look like old subway cars from New York City. They are the loudest, most smoke, and dirtiest in the fleet. Oddly you never see them on any of the southern routes out of Bangkok only in the north and Isan. The most broken-down trains run from Nong Khai to Udon Thani.
In the future, the best train on the Chaing Mai route the (rot rayo) fast train 3rd class that makes a stop in Lampang about 1pm in the afternoon and continues onto Bangkok. The ones that have the older brownish red cars. The trains leaving Chiang Mai tend to always leave at least an hour late for no reason. I am not joking when I say I have traveled on the Thai trains hundreds of times over the last twenty years and 99.9999% of the time they are always delayed somewhere down the line. In your case if not late you have been damn lucky.
Man! I always love your input! Pretty detailed and alway another angle of traveling 🤩 sometimes things go right. Sometimes things go the other way 😅 I still loved the train ride but next time I will take a sleeper or the one with open windows for sure! Thanks again for your input 🤗 I hope you’re happy and well
@@Chai_Travel I only took a Sprinter once because I was curious and hated it. I don,t like air-con buses any better always end up feeling dizzy and tired so always try to get a fan bus or train when possible. On most of the long runs more than five hours, they tend to be air-con these days but you can still find a fan bus if you ask. Be careful at some of the bigger bus stations like Chiang Mai or Rai for example they will tell you they don,t have fan buses when they do. My motto always ask more than one person. The same goes for many hotels.
That's looked like Daewoo DMU. It operates in the same service class as the Sprinter DMU Class 158.

Wow! Haha I wouldn’t know but it sounds that you know a lot about these trains! 😁 cheers!
@@Chai_Travel 🤞 Just know a little bit, not really a rail fan myself.
Hey chai Leaving chaing Mai take care bro🤟🤟
There he is!? I thought we’ve lost you! How have you been?! 😁
Day trains are always delayed that’s why either take the night express or fly
Haha really? Hmmm I guess I’ve always have been lucky. This train had just technical issues:) thanks for your input champ!
@@Chai_Travel Thai railway is famous for delays over the years and at the minute flights are just as cheap 900 from Cnx to Bangkok
Gotcha. I just didn’t wanna fly because I’ve only one dose of Astra 😅 plus I never caught this track during the day 😊
Hi, is it possible to buy the ticken from bkk to cnx not online??
Yes it’s possible:)

It’s possible but more expensive:)
Nice trip❤❤🌳🐘💗
Thanks Heikki! Have a good day 🙏🏼😃
Hello, is there a train from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai?
You gonna have to go to Phitsanulok, then by bus to Sukhothai. It’s easier to travel all the way by bus I reckon 😊
Great. Thank you.
Its not noise, its Thai language
😂 I was more referring to the announcement sound 😜 thanks for you comment though 🤗🙃
Traveling to different countries may help to change our worldview.❤
Hi Sakura :) ❤️ I think so too! Where are you from? Have you traveled a lot 🤗🙏🏼?
@@Chai_Travel Japan🇯🇵
@@Sakura-zu4rz nice! I never have been there yet! It is high on the list for sure 🤩
@@Chai_Travel Please come to Japan🇯🇵❤
Wearing a thick jacket?? Are you cold? What is the temperature there?
It was a little chilly in the morning. Maybe 15 Celsius:)
Do you have to buy two tickets if you want the room to yourself?
Hi Steven, I think you’re talking about a first class AC night train? You only have to pay for the cabin. It’s roughly 2.400 Thb
@@Chai_Travel Yes, the night train. Thanks.
@@HiNickCares perfect. Anything else just let us know
Could you please tell me the train Number ?
I believe it was the 8 or 102 but I can’t recall I’m sorry 🙏
@@Chai_Travel Thanks Bro
