Chiang Mai to Don Mueang Destination Reviews

BF
My arrival time was delayed in 1h (chiang Mai to bkk 15h30) which made me lost my transfer to another city. Furthermore, no plugs on 2nd class and bathroom really bad. However, the landscapes alone the way are really beautiful and are worth it! My bad review is because I was so much affected by the delay arrival time.

Not super… Last carriage in 3rd class would say best one of all - beautiful view out the back of the sunset and nice to be so close to fresh air! Still would heavily recommend not booking 3rd class honestly seats are uncomfortable and CRAMPED! But if you book last min like I did and have no option, maybe get some gummies to help you through….

Consider a pre-booking seat review for a more personalized experience. 2. Hygiene standards need attention for an enhanced journey. 3. Improve accessibility to the on-board restaurant. 4. Kudos to the excellent train staff. 5. Enhance the booking system for a smoother process. Appreciate your consideration of these suggestions to elevate the overall passenger experience. Best, Swam
