Knowing other sleepers, this train probably has only 4 bed cabins, 6 bed cabins and seats, kinda like the SudExpresso from Lisbon to Hendaya except that the SudExpresso also has suites with private showers.
They hardly do at hotels and rentals as well, unless the owner asks it of their cleaners and pays them for it, does it themselves, or the blankets/etc are visibly dirty! Or they'll just tell you to flip it... or something 😂
In my experience, these “first class” transportation are actually for people/family of lower incomes. For middle class and higher, they usually just rent vehicles, use a taxi, or just travel by planes :/
“Didn’t want ice, didn’t want to risk it” Yaaassss girlll! I love educational and meaningful content. It’s not as well known as should be but when traveling, never drink tap water because your body can react to it in a bad way and you’ll get something similar to food poisoning. Whether it be the differences in bacteria or whatnot, better safe than sorry.
@@abbyeley3741 I think that would depend on the country. In some countries, there may not be an issue but in others where there are differences with water quality/sourcing between cities and more rural areas, could have potential to make one ill.
I don't think all countries drink tap water. In Vietnam, people are taught to always boil water or filter then boil water before using. Many families have water filtration system assembled. I didn't know people drank from tap water until I moved to Canada. I agree that the train condition was terrible.
I went to Thailand and wasn’t careful about the ice and ate local food and got a bad stomach bug, so she knows what she’s talking about when she says “risk it”. She doesn’t mean it in a bad way, it is simply that in many foreign countries, their water has different bacteria that you’re not used to and it can make you sick. I’ve experienced it first hand so I think she made the right call. Okay but the fact that they didn’t wash anything in between people and it’s considered first class?! 🤢
No, it IS dangerous bacteria, and a lot more infants die to it then infants dying in developed countries. And, you can never "get used" to all the diseases...there's a limit, and a lot more people die in poor countries like this from food poisoning then in the West. Also, not just the water... it's the food too, plus the unhygienic handling of it.
@@Columbixx that's horrible, the water there was really questionable in my own country but the kids my age didnt mind so I had to suck it up and drink some random ice water they delivered. 😭
Rides like this one are very nostalgic, I remember having like 10 family members fitting into one cabin on the way to visit almost 20 more family members ☺️
I’m a Vietnamese who just experienced a full 24-hour day on the same kind of trip a week ago. For me, I wouldn’t call it first class. It’s just the most expensive option seat/bed on the train as it might provide the most comfortable experience. The other options are bed in a 6-bed room, and seat. For the next trip with the same distance, I will opt for plane. Faster, and the hygiene is better, and probably for the same price. The trip I had, it charged the same amount as a plane ticket of a cheap flight for the same destination. By the way, toilet is almost the same for every car, either a 4-bed car, 6-bed car or coaching, no better or worse.
I'm guessing the only difference between classes is the amount of people in a single space because i don't know what else they could remove from this experience This was BARE bare minimum
For those who don’t understand y she didn’t risk consuming the ice, it’s because in third world countries the water is not the best and cleanest, if ur not a local ur not gonna be use to it so u might get sick because u consume the water.
I always carry my light sleeping bag with me it so thin, saves me from any bugs I can fit even a pillow inside. I'm always using it for hostels or night trains.
It’s internally called a sleeping sheet;you can buy them online. We use them for travelling-so we don’t sleep on filthy beds;and also so your sleeping bag doesn’t get so dirty
I am Vietnamese, been on this sleeper train multiple times, and this is the first time i've ever heard someone calling those cabins first class !!! 💀 This is a pretty low standard method of travel long way, even for Vietnamese. And maybe they call it first class cause this is the best they offer ig. Other than that, there are cabins with 3 beds, and also cushioned seats, hard seats cabins for a lower price. The standard is not so much different than the first class, they just have slightly newer cabins, but the reuse of sheets, shared toilet, food option for purchase, and everything else are pretty much the same
I thought that if anyone goes to a foreign country they have to be careful of the water because every country has different bacteria and if your body isn’t used to it, it can give you really bad stomach problems. Like if someone from anywhere travels to Mexico, you can get Montezuma’s Revenge because your not used to the bacteria. Just in case you were wondering why she didn’t use ice.
vietnam water isn’t abnormal, i can’t speak from experience in asian countries themselves but i’ve known from a very young age in mexico to not drink the tap water or even brush my teeth with it. you order drinks without ice, as well. i’m not there enough to build an immunity to pollutants or water-borne illnesses. it’s more tolerance based than anything.

I've been on vietnamese trains like that a few times and every time I do, the sheets, pillows and beddings are oddly fresh, and I can't even afford 1st class
i need to add that nobody drinks water straight from the tap in vietnam… that includes the water that used to make ice on that train. that water’s boiled first or it’s bottled. i didn’t know people drank water straight from the tap until i was in the u.s.
I'm from Germany and it's completely safe to drink from the tap but I moved to the states last year and the water quality is so bad I am unable to drink from the tab. I live in a poor district tho so that may be a factor but nobody in my area drinks from the tap, it always smells and sometimes it's discolored. That was definitely a culture shock for me at first lol
You got very lucky this train is super clean compared to other trains. I lived in Vietnam for 3 years (most beautiful country in the world). But the trains are super gross. I had to keep away the cockroaches and spiders because otherwise they would climb on top of me. And I'm not even going to talk about the toilets. This was however economy class so that could have been it as well. But I don't recommend Vietnam trains.

@@Jenny-vg1zv In this pandemic I don’t personally care about first class or standard, the administration who owns and runs these trains should have focus on cleanliness. At least clean the bathrooms and change the sheets . 😂
y’all are saying “this is first class?!?! eww” it just depends on the different parts of Vietnam. Vietnam is mostly a poor country so this train for them is a luxury. not everyone there has enough money to pay for an “actual luxury train”
Welp, this most definitely isn't the first class experience most are used to, but it is definitely a way to travel while not losing time (just bring a sleeping bag)
Also I like how people liking basic hygiene are "entitled" and "don't understand the culture". No one deserves to live in these conditions, period. Why be defensive and say that "it's their culture", basically calling Vietnamese filth lovers? That's racist af. No one deserves to live like that
Not sure about this being first class, but it might just be this specific train. Aunt works as the manager for the central train station in Hanoi and I've been on many train trips with my family, and there are better rooms than this. In recent times first class rooms are ones 2 2 beds (no upper bunk) that look and feel much nicer and more premium. This is abnormally subpar even for Vietnam, as sheets, blankets and pillows are changed after everytrip, and the bathroom certainly doesn't look that bad. Please don't be discouraged to try train travel in Vietnam from this 1 outlier, especially if you're in a larger groups and can book whole cabins to yourself. It's great fun!
Y’all… water in there is often unsafe and usually unfiltered/ unsanitary for consuming. you can go right ahead and try drinking tap water there and very likely get stomach bug. For example in cheaper hotels with bad pipes they literally warn you not to drink/ flush mouth with tap water. It’s not being “privilege or squeamish” it really just a safety precautions. (Reason why coffee was fine because it was hot - thus means water was treated [boiled] )
Here's a few things I've learned never assume anything has been cleaned. Your pack makes a mighty fine pillow. And always pack at least a light blanket look into a woobie

@@jaxontheboss2319 where and what hotel because I work in a hotel and that's pretty much all we do is wash sheets and shower curtains and I also travel for work and the hotels are almost always clean unless it's a super trash hotel
I'm from Finland and The cabins in nightrains have two Beds (during covid only one person per cabin) there is a cafe in The train and The toilets are so clean. Also you get a waterbottle for free and every cabin has a sink and mirror with a table to eat or do your makeup. You can Also order breakfast to your cabin for The next morning. And this was 165€ for a 12,5 hour trip
Vietnam may not be the cleanest (coming from someone who emigrated from viet) but there are some places that you would think back and want to go back to. When ever I visited Vietnam back then, there was a small motorcycles and go carts in a huge cement park (kind of like a skate park but flat) where children would ride their rented vehicles. Most of the children there were disciplined so no intended injuries occurred at the time.
Well uh can you teach him to fuckn not please??? Can you try and make him understand how godamm rude and inconsiderate it is??? The world doesn’t revolve around him!
i love how you share the hard parts of your travels but you’re not complaining or bitter just letting ppl see reality so we can be prepared for our own journeys! tysm!
I’ve been a housekeeper for a while. They only thing that gets washed is the sheets because they bring tins filled with them at the end of the peoples stay. The only time the cover does get washed is if it has bodily fluids on it.
My big problem is how can they call it first class when you have to share and sleep on a dirty bed. Sounds more like coach or 3rd class. I hope it wasn't expensive.
I've traveled on trains in Asia and my tip is to take an old or cheap duvet cover and pillow case if you know you will be going on a sleeper train. You can sleep inside your duvet cover and use it like a light sleeping bag and you can fill your pillow case with some soft clothes. When you are done traveling you can dispose of your duvet cover and pillow case in the bin or donate it.
Ok, that whole experience was nauseating to watch. 1. Don't use the bathroom after it starts moving. 2. Take bleach & other cleaners to clean your area before use. 3. Buy the whole cabin. 4. Pack a sleeping bag, don't use they unwashed bedding. 5. Pack sustenance and only consume what you must to survive because of issue #1.
I love how your are cautious when it comes to foods and ice when you travel overseas lol I am the same way. I always feel Bad especially when I’m in the Philippines and my family will ask the people who are serving if the ice is filtered or from the sink. I just don’t trust their answer so I rather buy a bottle water and not have to worry about it
You’re right! I was a caregiver for about a year and did in home care giving. I woke up the next day with bites ALL OVER . I looked to my right and there was a HUGE bed bug!!! I had to throw all of the clothes I brought with me including the bag I put my stuff in 🥲
I've been on trains like this that weren't even first class but they were definitely alot nicer than this in Vietnam. please don't believe this is the top standard there because I've been on alot better as a Vietnamese person
Iam from India, the train looks comparatively way better, however reusing the same sheets is gross. In India you mandatorily get laundried fresh sheets. Ensuring this for a Country like India with such a high population is completely amazing 👍👍
I hope you guys know Vietnam is more than this train. It’s still considered a communist government that does very little to invest into their country. The rich tends to pocket all the money and the poor still struggles. There are so many beautiful parts of Vietnam like our people, our blue oceans, our waterfalls, and our food. Like every other country it has its good and it’s bad. But please be respectful to the people who actually have to work and live in the country and on that train. And trust me I’ve been in worse means of transportation in Vietnam. Be happy you don’t have to pee or poop while squatting into a hole. 😂 I don’t know if you guys ever been to SF Bart or a NYC train. Those are not that clean either. 😂 but the cities are full of beautiful places to visit.
This train is disgusting, the bathroom was filled to the brim with pee and they don’t look like they clean it, they don’t change pillows, quilts etc between passengers and you are bunked with other strangers in your ‘first class’ room. At least Amtrak sleepers can provide cleaned sheets and toilets not filled to the brim with pee, and at least I can get my own room
Oh for goodness sakes. That train was disgusting and the trains in NYC isn't calling itself 1st class while offering filthy accommodations, so stop trying to make this disgusting Vietnamese train ok. NYC subways are nasty yes, but again it isn't 1st class either. Amtrak coach isn't filthy either. And no one said this was all of Vietnam. This is about a nasty train in Vietnam calling a filthy bunk room and bathroom 1st class.
I’ve never tried the trains, i tend to travel by sea, air or land. Recon i’ll give it a go ! My girlfriend is from Laos although she lives in Thailand. We’re always traveling when i’m out there. Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Malaysia etc. Amazing ! 🙏🙏
Always got told when traveling to drink bottled water because you can’t be drinking tap/filtered water as you’re not sure if it’s safe. The locals who have been living there for awhile MIGHT be able to since their bodies have grown the necessary bacteria to be able to drink it.

Omg. First class???!!! The restroom???!?? The risk of food and ice!?!?! The bed sheets and blankets!?!?! 😩😩😩😩 nooooooooooooo
I am Vietnamese, been on this sleeper train multiple times, and this is the first time i've ever heard someone calling those cabins first class !!! 💀
This is a pretty low standard method of travel long way, even for Vietnamese.
And maybe they call it first class cause this is the best they offer ig. Other than that, there are cabins with 3 beds, and also cushioned seats, hard seats cabins for a lower price.
This doesn't reflect well on Vietnam train travel. Pretty nasty hygiene standards.
it’s a third world country
Damn.. if that is first class, I wonder what economy class looks like..?
i mean, you can’t really just expect first class to be luxury and diamonds everywhere..
@@imabigphan no but at least some kind of hygienic standard especially when you pay more
@@musicclasical yeah
@@musicclasical but i just feel like they expected luxury and servants serving you.
@@imabigphan It’s quite apparent that you have never been in “first class”. Go check the definition and get back to me.
I didn't went out of my home because I didn't wanna risk it
Who saw the yellow water inside the toilet
dats pee pee casey
"yellow water,
@@hadrian270 yeah I know
oh they need to be washing the sheets especially with the monkey pox spreading through bedsheets
Gross should be changed. No negative feedback please.
Why would people give negative feedback? You’re telling the truth 😂
@@gabb5 I have just got so use to putting that on all my comments, because I have got backlash on some things I have said in the past. I guess I feel like it is a source of prevention. Thank you for asking though.
Ew they don’t wash the covers? That’s so disgusting. What if a kid peed in it before you were on it( on the train ride before there’s)
You do realize most hotel sheets aren't washed either
@@jaxontheboss2319 ew I didn’t know that
They wash and/or replace it if there's stains.
@@jaxontheboss2319 where and what hotel because I work in a hotel and that's pretty much all we do is wash sheets and shower curtains and I also travel for work and the hotels are almost always clean unless it's a super trash hotel
That's why they make sleeping bag liners. Lightweight silk dries fast between stops, and Worth it!
If this is first class... imagine the other classes
I'm from Finland and The cabins in nightrains have two Beds (during covid only one person per cabin) there is a cafe in The train and The toilets are so clean. Also you get a waterbottle for free and every cabin has a sink and mirror with a table to eat or do your makeup. You can Also order breakfast to your cabin for The next morning. And this was 165€ for a 12,5 hour trip
That man on the bottom bunk looks like the old man in squid game
no
Bruh just because he’s Asian doesn’t mean he’s from squid game. 🤦♀️
Clean it up sparkly clean, give it a white paint and call it first class.
“They don’t wash the sheets between passengers” me: 💀✌️ peace out, that is filthy
Vietnam may not be the cleanest (coming from someone who emigrated from viet) but there are some places that you would think back and want to go back to. When ever I visited Vietnam back then, there was a small motorcycles and go carts in a huge cement park (kind of like a skate park but flat) where children would ride their rented vehicles. Most of the children there were disciplined so no intended injuries occurred at the time.
Hotels in North America don't wash the comforters unless there is is a stain,worked at some
You can't trust anything these days
She said SHEETS
@@fluffyfroog5630 sheets are probably the same
Girl that was we’re you worked at they were probably lower class
talking loudly on the phone at full volume sounds like a viet thing to do lol. exactly my dad right there
Well uh can you teach him to fuckn not please??? Can you try and make him understand how godamm rude and inconsiderate it is??? The world doesn’t revolve around him!
I realized our pillows and blankets don't get cleaned ..I would have had a legitimate panic attack lol...all those people before me lol
i love how you share the hard parts of your travels but you’re not complaining or bitter just letting ppl see reality so we can be prepared for our own journeys! tysm!
I'm scared to see 2nd class...
That ain’t no first class that’s dirty class
I’ve been a housekeeper for a while. They only thing that gets washed is the sheets because they bring tins filled with them at the end of the peoples stay. The only time the cover does get washed is if it has bodily fluids on it.
Yes lol.. this is a fact I hated it though and felt bad as As a maid
Is it just me or does that "First class" DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A FIRST CLASS??
Sleeping with random cabin mates
Yeah sharing a bed with a stranger ? No thank you and that bathroom? Where’s the first class?! 😭
I mean it's pretty normal to share the common space with strangers in a train. Can't say the same for hygiene.
My big problem is how can they call it first class when you have to share and sleep on a dirty bed. Sounds more like coach or 3rd class. I hope it wasn't expensive.
The toilet water 🤮
Ngl it’s nice to have first class in a train but that one train looked like a prison honestly
Welcome to Vietnam, at least the food is cheap
The fact she kept saying "risk it" made me wonder if she misspoke when she said "First Class"
I've traveled on trains in Asia and my tip is to take an old or cheap duvet cover and pillow case if you know you will be going on a sleeper train. You can sleep inside your duvet cover and use it like a light sleeping bag and you can fill your pillow case with some soft clothes. When you are done traveling you can dispose of your duvet cover and pillow case in the bin or donate it.
No one gonna talk about the yellow pee in the toilet?!
Yep 🤢 gross asf
Exactly 🤮
Ok, that whole experience was nauseating to watch. 1. Don't use the bathroom after it starts moving. 2. Take bleach & other cleaners to clean your area before use. 3. Buy the whole cabin. 4. Pack a sleeping bag, don't use they unwashed bedding. 5. Pack sustenance and only consume what you must to survive because of issue #1.
Bro old Vietnamese guys are G’s, until they start yelling into the phone while it’s on speaker phone at full volume.
I love how your are cautious when it comes to foods and ice when you travel overseas lol I am the same way. I always feel
Bad especially when I’m in the Philippines and my family will ask the people who are serving if the ice is filtered or from the sink. I just don’t trust their answer so I rather buy a bottle water and not have to worry about it
And THAT is how you get bedbugs and other pests.
You’re right! I was a caregiver for about a year and did in home care giving. I woke up the next day with bites ALL OVER . I looked to my right and there was a HUGE bed bug!!! I had to throw all of the clothes I brought with me including the bag I put my stuff in 🥲
Thanks. Now I know air travel is the way to go for domestic vietnam
Unless you need to move to places that don’t have airports
No way this is first class!!!
I've been on trains like this that weren't even first class but they were definitely alot nicer than this in Vietnam. please don't believe this is the top standard there because I've been on alot better as a Vietnamese person
Didn't the coffee get made with the same water the ice did?
But it was heated to boiling to kill anything in it
Ya, I used to clean airplanes and no. None of the blankets or pillows ever get washed. So beware.
👀
Ohhh nooo the ending!!!
🤢I’m sorry but that’s not ok they need get fresh covers that’s spreading germs but hope u had fun
So true because what if a person has bugs
@@jessa5521 right that is very nasty and unsanitary
@@cori0222 I know they should get reported for it
I doubt people that have bugs can afford ‘first class train tickets’
Idk people are gross
Iam from India, the train looks comparatively way better, however reusing the same sheets is gross. In India you mandatorily get laundried fresh sheets. Ensuring this for a Country like India with such a high population is completely amazing 👍👍
I hope you guys know Vietnam is more than this train. It’s still considered a communist government that does very little to invest into their country. The rich tends to pocket all the money and the poor still struggles. There are so many beautiful parts of Vietnam like our people, our blue oceans, our waterfalls, and our food. Like every other country it has its good and it’s bad. But please be respectful to the people who actually have to work and live in the country and on that train. And trust me I’ve been in worse means of transportation in Vietnam. Be happy you don’t have to pee or poop while squatting into a hole. 😂 I don’t know if you guys ever been to SF Bart or a NYC train. Those are not that clean either. 😂 but the cities are full of beautiful places to visit.
This train is disgusting, the bathroom was filled to the brim with pee and they don’t look like they clean it, they don’t change pillows, quilts etc between passengers and you are bunked with other strangers in your ‘first class’ room. At least Amtrak sleepers can provide cleaned sheets and toilets not filled to the brim with pee, and at least I can get my own room
@@VapingLobster must be nice living in a country where even the lower/working class can afford luxuries
Oh for goodness sakes. That train was disgusting and the trains in NYC isn't calling itself 1st class while offering filthy accommodations, so stop trying to make this disgusting Vietnamese train ok. NYC subways are nasty yes, but again it isn't 1st class either. Amtrak coach isn't filthy either. And no one said this was all of Vietnam. This is about a nasty train in Vietnam calling a filthy bunk room and bathroom 1st class.
@@VapingLobster yes you’re privileged. And you don’t live in a communist country. Good for you hun.
@@Jennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn cleaning supplies are not exclusive to privileged people
No thanks….I’ll walk..😵💫
We don't even have "first class" train in VN lol, they just call it "bed train" or something
im from from vietnam i love vietnam i haven’t been in vietnam in 5-6 years i am in usa 🇺🇸 love vietnam ❤️❤️
I’ve never tried the trains, i tend to travel by sea, air or land. Recon i’ll give it a go ! My girlfriend is from Laos although she lives in Thailand. We’re always traveling when i’m out there. Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Malaysia etc. Amazing ! 🙏🙏
Congratulations!! Now you know what it's like to sleep in jail🤣
ew they don’t wash the sheets. that’s terrifying saying as bed bugs exist, and head and body lice.
Risk what w the ice-
bacteria in the ice, it’s the same on planes since water isn’t changed for months
Always got told when traveling to drink bottled water because you can’t be drinking tap/filtered water as you’re not sure if it’s safe. The locals who have been living there for awhile MIGHT be able to since their bodies have grown the necessary bacteria to be able to drink it.
@@stsenre ok
damn, if these are first class i wonder how much worse economy would be 💀
damn you are disrespectful
People say economy on planes are bad but MEA airlines the food is amazing the drinks are amazing and the seats are so comfy the night flights are amazing and the day flights
i’ve been on mea and i agree it’s the best airline i’ve ever been on
@@tylenxl yea like the mea economy is better than the business class cause it has no iPad and stuff but economy has many new movies and it’s so much funner
I would bring my own blankets
