I done this journey in 1998. Loved it. ❤
Nice trip .. hardly wait to try ..
Love the video ❤Inspiring!!! Hope 1 day I can make this trip
Amazing journey.
Stay safe always.
Great video love Thailand
Great Job Travel Asia
thank you Allan enjoy your trip
Thanks Nana :)
I have been to Singapore and Kuala lumper but never took that train but my family & I have thought about taking train (Amtrak) across America next summer and I hope it will be fun for 5 of us. For sure that Thai train have used them before.
I think I’ve done the Thai train route 6+ times now on visa runs. I never bore of it.
Thanks for the tour👍👍❤️your new friend from Canada 🇨🇦
Would be good if you would add distance from station to station, traveling time and ticket cost to make it more informative.
This is more to supplement a blog post. Think I’ve pinned it in the comments.
Very nice video and informative
Great video, very informative
This can be really going!? Thank you for showing 👍
Thats an epic train journey! Just this week I completed a to and fro jungle train trip from JB to Pasir Mas with trip to thai border town sungei golok.
I’m tempted to go back for the jungle train. It’s a bit tricky tho for the return to Bangkok.
the trip I want to travel.
Thanks for sharing, will definitely be traveling by plane after seeing this ;-/
🤣🤣🤣👍
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
Thanks so much to share traveling trip from JB until Hua Lamphong, Bangkok.
Is really take long long time, but of course can save a lot of money.
😊👍
My wife did the flight routes along they. Hers was similar price but she missed out on the awesome trains 🚂
It does not take that long...in actual fact, one can get from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok within 24 hours, with sleeping berth at the Thai route.
@@winterwolf1 this most have been before EMS. It’s 18-hours alone for the Bangkok Hat Yai journey but the trains used to cross the border. It’s not far off atm but timings are scattered.
@@allanwilson take the earliest ETS train from KL, straigth to Padang Besar, and connect with the Thai Train around early afternoon...right at the Thai side...reaching Bangkok for breakfast the following morning.
This design was already in place since the 80's when the train services was available whence flight was expensive to most locals.
@@winterwolf1 that would work. I remember when the trains used to run right through from Bangkok to Butterworth with a quick stop for immigration and for the restaurant bogey to decouple. This unfortunately changed with the electric lines. Not sure why this wasn’t an option to KL.
Amazing journey! Cheers!
Long Journey but Surely Enjoying Landscape changes like seasons.
A challenging feat and happiness at every stopping destination ♥️
Great train review. I'll take a trip for sure. Pity the train don't stop in Ipoh, it's food haven and cave temple. Worth to visit. Subbed.
We actually travelled up to Ipoh, Cameron Highlands and over to the Perhentians from Butterworth Station. Only a short bus from the station to Ipoh. Most people say Penang is food heaven but now I want to try Ipoh.
On 3:10 you'll see an old blue train carriages, it's an ex-JR West's type 14/24 sleeper train from Japan, nickname "Blue train" that retired from japan since early 2000's
Loving your train knowledge!! We always love the JR train systems. Japan is train heaven.
Hello my friend 🙋🙋🇨🇭
Beautiful video Big like 👍👍
期望能有各国能连接高铁从中国→马来西亞→新加坡
nice road trip by trains. i had tried before using sg coach to hatyai and from there can go to bkk by train.. bt it may not be the cheapest way to travel. so how much do each spend in order to reach hua lumphong station?
Interesting train trip with a lot of legs! I wonder if the train to Bangkok from the border has 1st class sleppers?
We’ve taken them before from Hua Hin to Bangkok. They are 2-bed cabins so did it with my wife and brought some wine etc. for the journey. I’ve never risked it travelling alone as I’m guessing you’re thrown in with a random stranger.
Love the food in KL!
Same. Love the mamak food 🥘
Veryusefullforme
Yes this train goes from Singapore via KLL and also pinang to bankok...
Three countries - Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand
Where is the best food 🥘 🍲 🍱
KLL and pinang also
Not a Single Muass Transit train system. It is basically travel by various trains from Singapore, thru' Makaysia, then to Thailand by domestic train route.
Hallo Allan, How many dollar / euro do you spend on train tickets from Singapore to Bangkok ?
Did that 2005 and stopped in Krabi, Panang, Kuala Lumpar and Singapore. Train didn't look like that though
First time I did it was 2012. The Thai train hasn’t changed a whole lot. It used to actually continue right through into Malaysia and onto Butterworth before the electric trains were built on the Malaysia side.
How much total for Train and Ferry Only from Singapore to Bangkok? Thank you
Great video! It would be much better if you post the price, length of time to reach the destination. Layover convenience such as stores, diners, coffee shops, money exchange and power chargers and wi-fi. Thank you.
This was more to supplement a blog post. I’ve pinned all the info in the first comment. Might try adding extra captions tho.
Watching from City of Imperial Beach San Diego California
I did this trip in the opposite direction.
With multi day stops in Hat Yai, Panang, Cameron Highlands and Kuala Lumpur.
Same. We started with the Bangkok to Singapore then did the return. Missed out on Cameron Highlands tho. Did you do this from Butterworth as well?
@@allanwilson
We started in Bangkok and took the night train to Hat Yai.
We could get this fancy firstclass cabins.
Spend a night in Hat Yai.
In Butterworth we took the slow ferry,
the one for cars over to Georgs Town.
Our hotel was in old Chinese villa.
For the Cameron Highlands we took a taxi.
I don't know anymore from what train station.
In Kuala Lumpur we had Hotel close to the station.
Good location small rooms.
Last stage was Kuala Lumpur Singapore.
In Woodlands we were very lucky.
We arrived in the evening so all the
people that live in Malaysia and work
in Singapore were leafing so almost
no cue for entering Singapore.
@@Zurich_for_Beginners yes we did the first class cabins before from Hat Yai to Bangkok. Great as a couple but wouldn’t risk it alone (I think you can be thrown in with a stranger).
The main car feri was unfortunately cancelled during Covid and with the opening of the new Penang Sentral its is these shuttles leaving from a different pier. We shared this before of the previous route crossing: th-cam.com/video/jg8IP8c9L9g/w-d-xo.html
Your hotel might have been Cheong Fatt Tze aka the Blue Mansion?
We did Cameron highlands before but it was by bus from Butterworth via Ipoh. I think you’re budget was healthier than ours :)
There is a train that crosses the Malaysia/Singapore border but u have to book well in advance while we were winging it. We were not so lucky I’m afraid 😧
@@allanwilson At Penang we had the East Indies Mansion.
Not as fancy the Blue Mansion But still nice.
On the train from Gemas to JB Sentral.
I made a mistake. I booked online an hit the wrong month.
But the conductor was so nice an get as new tickets.
If you don't want to have too many legs of the trip, there is a train from Gemas to Padang besar, no change of train, then there is a train from Padang besar to Bangkok, no change
I did that trip 42 years ago. Not too much has changed
42 years ago, no monorail in KL. Very low capacity system, like theme park system..
@@yfleong6145 when I lived in KL it was very different. No public transit railway at all, just a whole lot of pink minibuses with very bad drivers. Remember those?
@@TravelwithMark Yea those pink bus called mini bus. Now they're no longer exists
@@obidean3964 yeah, and that’s a good thing! They were a menace!
Yes. That is Minibus 55 pink colour!
How much it willcost the travel frombankok to singapore
At 0:27 it is the woodlands temporary bus interchange that they wanted to keep it open
Has this changed now?
A light train like the one we have in Egypt..
Hey Allan do you need proof of onward travel for these land border crossings?
I don’t think so but I cannot guarantee. I arrived with a tourist visa (got it at Penang) and was asked for onward travel documents for the application. At the same time, I’ve arrived at borders with no proof of onward travel many times before. The Malaysian border a handful of them. Things are a bit tighter these days but, as long as you don’t seem sketchy, I don’t think there will be any problem for a simple visa exempt stamp. I was in a visa agents office in Penang checking prices etc and literally watched him copy/paste/edit an old flight document and save it again as a pdf.
Are you able to input the route transits on the description as well as the duration? Was planning a trip but was unable to find a suitable recommended routes and happen to see your youtube channels are this route..
I actually share the full route here if it helps: www.live-less-ordinary.com/thailand-to-singapore-by-train-bangkok/
Sorry that’s the return route. Here’s the Singapore to Bangkok route www.live-less-ordinary.com/singapore-to-thailand-by-train-bangkok/
@@allanwilson thank you allan wilson for the routing..
I from thailand have a nice tripe.
Where in Thailand u from bruv?
great video, what does immigration at thailand side ask you for ?
Just need to fill out an arrival card. For most western countries etc it’s a visa exempt stamp giving 30-days in Thailand. For other countries it will mean getting a visa in advance. It’s fairly simple otherwise. Stamp out stamp in
@@allanwilson thats great, yes 30 day. nice editing clips, thats a nice style, seems very stressfree way of travel there to thai. never been to malaysia, penang looks great, a good food place, maybe we can meet up for a coffee one day ? , thanks Allan.
How long it's takes from Singapore to Thailand using train ? Did it needs visa also?
Our was 3-days in total but can be done much quicker (or slower). No need for visas (quick stamps at borders) but this may differ depending on nationality of passport holder.
Thailand seems to be far behind for train comfort and technology
there are newer trains but not sure if they are operated there
@@pnecone you can see a new grey coloured train at 15:16 still diesel power though
@@superman_69703 because its not an electrified track
Wait till you experience the train in Borneo (Sabah), then you might wanna change your mind 😅
@@LiliP802 in Borneo. Are same level with indonesian trains
Next year on July hight speed railway Indonesia open for public with speed 350 km/ hours, the first in southeast and Indonesia is pionner hight speed railway in southeast👍
Where’s this? I’ll definitely be checking it out
I’m also fairly skeptical given Japanese Shinkansen only reach 320 and Chinese Maglev not much more. And you’re talking Indonesia…
In jakarta Indonesia. Destination bandung city
@@soluckyme910 saw that. Chinese sent them over. That will be impressive for SEA!
You underestimated the development of high speed train in Malaysia and Singapore. The high speed train was already planned in the 90's
by the Malaysian private company YTL Corp long before China's high speed train but Dr Mahathir the prime minister of Malaysia disapproved it in order to protect the Malaysian daily air flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. (From Singapore)
Wow
Need how many hours can reach ??
what editor do you use if i may ask ?
It’s an old version of Sony Vegas. Always mean to upgrade but it does the job :)
@@allanwilson wow, didnt know about that one
Hi, your trip looks amazing - do they offer any private cabins?
1st class cabins on the overnight Thai trains. Don’t think so on the Malaysia side
@@allanwilson , you mean Malaysia is more undeveloped than Thailand?
@@HeresMyView I’m not sure where I’ll get that? It’s more the opposite. But don’t think they have private cabins on the Malaysia trains.
@@allanwilson Malaysian side, one can buy the Business class seatings from KL to Padang Besar. No private cabins available.
How many days does it take?
did you take the ktm train to singapore to jb central
No. The border train needs to be booked way in advance and we were pretty much winging it. Took the bus across.
Long distance trains moved to the new central station at Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal in 2023
How long is the trip from Gemas to KL Sentral?
2.30 hours/mins. It’s a nice enough stretch. Speedy trains.
how much money to spend on this journey? train and bus only... thanks
i would like to make budget for this
We spent no more than $100 in total on all train tickets. It’s a fairly cheap journey.
Hi, any toilets in train from gemas to kl?
Yes, it’s a fancy ETS train with modern wcs
looked a fun trip but unless you are stopping at a few places in-between the destinations why not fly ?
Scared of flights I guess.
Were there premium or business class tickets? What about overnight options?
Business class options they have on the ETS in Singapore. First class sleeper (2-bed berths) in the Thai trains 🚂
is this on narrow gauage rails?
I have no idea :) I’m new to gauges
Pingin coba
Sure thing
How much the train fare from Thailand to Singapore?
They all added up to around $100
2001, The train was started from Tanjung Pagar Station (S'pore) to Kuala Lumpur Center
How to contact
Actually ETS train not a high speed train. Operating speed only 140 km/h
That’s high speed compared to Komuter and Thai Trains :) but yes, very true. Just checked and it’s at least 250 km/h for high speed trains. Unfortunately I can’t update the video but will at least fix my blogs. Thanks for the info.
ETS is a Semi High Speed train.. maximum speed at 180 km/h and operating speed at 140 km/h
Lol ! Thanks but....I'll take a flight !
But you’ll miss out on all the awesome trains 🚂
@@allanwilson Yes, lovely views but it's all the time wasted, disembarking, queuing and waiting at multiple locations is putting me off !
how much does it cost singapore to thailand train
All in around $100 to Bangkok
Please detail information to me
does she only eat during the journey??
Yes 👍
This just looks like you have reversed and replayed your previous footage filmed from Bangkok to Singapore, seen it before few weeks back.
They’re more to supplement guides/blogs. Have taken the best of each way and put them together. Lost it on the last Hat Yai to Bangkok journey when I forgot to reverse the videos arriving to Hua Lamphong.
What's the price for this ride?
All in it was under $100
I want to get information from K L trvel Compeny
You will have to message them directly
Wish there is a high speed train from Singapore to KL. 😊
HSR killed by politicians
there was a plan for Sin - KL HSR. then it got scrapped. now it's back on again lol
How much fair?
Under $100 for the full journey
Slower but more to see than travel by bullet train
They are still masked.
A lot of Asia still wear masks. Wasn’t uncommon before Covid either with air pollution etc.
A bit different from 1974 train…
Should have excellent fast intercity rail throughout Malaysia long time ago linking Singapore and Thailand !. Common sense stuff. Greatest investment for Malaysia and also great toll free Highways all over Malaysia 🇲🇾 👏 !. Simple basic ABC common sense of business logistic and infrastructure boosters.
Depends on whether there is patronage or profits.
(some of the trains look very empty)
I doubt many Malaysians have the means to enjoy distant holidays regularly.
Is it cheaper to transport goods by fast rail or sea?
These are the questions.
Otherwise it becomes a white elephant.
@@RUHappyATM most of Malaysian train stations were located in still same old some 60, 70 yrs old away from the densely populated area. Old same and only route built by the British, if you look at the present old British underground train system. Throughout Europe ppl love to travel the very efficient, very convenient, fast, great connectivity and safety intercity train before jumping directly into the local MRT. BECAUSE OF THESE, holidaying is so leisurely convenient, fast , time saving, very efficient......The late LKY and his family used to vacation in Cameron Highlands, taking the only best route to Tapah by the lazy old time consuming railway route . Common sense stuff. Your views are very conventional, outdated, poor foresight and old fashioned....
@@awequayzngs1780 very simple, you build feeder bus routes to the stations.
It will only work if there are normally lots of traffic along the eastern seaboard, eg many, many people using air between Penang, KL and Singapore.
I doubt the Malaysian government would have passrd up on a good investment return if the business case was going to be very profitable.
Really now.......??
Sure, why not.
How many years alrdy like accessible?
Omg I'm so outdated
This must have been more expensive then just flying to BKK. 😂
It would be direct with low cost carriers. Flying to each destination isn’t much different in price either.
Amazing ❤🚂❤ Love from => Train Lover Himu

Malaysia and Thailand
is this high speed train?
Technically it is semi high speed rail
A lot of changes headache lah
Yup it’s not the most direct route…
Thailand Thailand Thsiland The One not

Sure thing!
Not much info.
It’s used to supplement a blog. It’s all here bud: live-less-ordinary.com/singapore-to-thailand-by-train-bangkok/
No thanks. Think I'll walk.
I’ll race you!
Singapore model country for other Asian countries forever 😆
🚂🚃🚃🚃 👈😊👍
At 0:11 lol
The girl ur wife ?
Sure is. 9-years and counting.
I wonder the point of this video. There isn’t even information on the duration of each rides n prices, which are two most important factors when choosing such an alternative. Useless.
Dont understand why in Thai train bed has to be set up by attendant.. How hard is it that passengers cant do it themselves. What a waste of time !!! So inefficient..
Tbf I’d probably fail at it. At least I’ve had to do my own beds in Japanese ryokan and they end up coming apart in the night. It also gives the conductors something to do as they’re pretty much twiddling their thumbs most the journey. Efficient use of manpower.
Taking too long time! You must have plenty of time to spare
Loads of it. And I spend it all on trains 🚂 🚊choo choo!
you need to TALK so as to guide the way , I have no idea where you are , bit of a waste of time filming it
I am literally on a train between 2 destinations. A toddler could pretty much follow it. I even list the stops along the way. With vlogging I find the opposite. I prefer immersive travel rather than listening to annoying jingles or some gaunch yammering over the natural sounds (although, tbf, the audio isn’t great here). Otherwise it’s literally point and shoot so no time wasted. I’m not being intrusive either like those obnoxious vloggers spoiling other people’s journeys with their incessant/pointless narration. Ever been in a cafe/restaurant with one of them. Jeez those guys are the worst.
@@allanwilson voice over when back in room doing the editing
Your title should be Singapore to Bangkok Thailand by TrainS (via Malaysia). It's misleading, I thought there is a single-line Supertrain from Singapore to Thailand. The train system in Malaysia is pathetic.
Wait till u see Thailands train system… tbf this entire region should have been connected by high speed trains years ago.
is it really pathetic? .. which part is pathetic!?
@El Toro Single line super train from Singapore to Thailand? Lol That can only happen if Malaysia is in the picture since it’s in between Singapore and Thailand 😂 and no, the train system in Malaysia is definitely not pathetic.
Have you tried it before?
Single super line train that allows Singaporeans & Tourists bypass Malaysia to go to Thailand? Why would malaysia build that? Singapore KL air shuttle is one of the busiest and most lucrative sector in aviation and Air Asia is based in Malaysia. It’s just business decision.
The train prog should begin from the great Johor state instead of island City (10 km long) to great cultural capital of Thailand via 100% passing through Malay heartland.
KTM is Malaysia owned land transportation rail system.
meds
TOO FAR
Plenty of stops and scenery to take in along the way :)
Horrible slow train in Thailand
Best trains in Thailand 🚂 Choo choo
