Cyril DShe was very flexible (we changed our departure time 3 times), great communication before the ride, very friendly and nice! Which made our trip very pleasant and the car is also very comfortable.

Vivien NIt was fine but we nearly missed our stop because the train official for our carriage did not make it clear where we were. We had asked him how far we still had to go and fortunately the writing of each station is also in English and we saw that we had reached our stop. We just grabbed our luggage and pushed our way through the passengers who had boarded and just got off.

Zachary WI was supposed to go from Chiang Mai to Ayutthaya, I told the driver, and they even mad a special notice of it on my ticket. Yet they forgot to stop in Ayutthaya, and I had to ride over half an hour longer until the bus stopped for gas, I knocked on the door and asked to get off right there, and had to pay to take me all the way back to where I was supposed to go, which was over 40 minutes away. Very frustrating.

Stephen HDid not like the train journey. Health and Safety is a serious issue. Their are no facilities for the elderly or disabled to board the train.

Rebecca LI enjoyed the experience but it was very rugged. Definitely for adventures types. The seats do recline a little bit but the lights never go out for sleeping. Not the most comfortable night sleep ever but worth trying at least once.

Soren Steward unhelpful.
Sadly :-( He didn't reply to my very politely asked questions regarding me getting off at the right stop - before Krung Thep/BKK. Think he knew and understod English allright, but did not reply to my Thai nor my English. He ONLY would inform of the next stop at some kind of village along the route. No service. But the new Chinese build train is great!

Elpida TWe did not have the option to choose the seats. If you book via thai railways you have the option.
So we were placed far apart from each other.
At the station we asked to be put together but they did not help us.
The staff on the train was very helpful.

Silvia The food is not the best desicion to eat and the seats aren't very comfortable. But the stewardess was sweet and it was very interesting to see the landscape. You can see so much things because the railway goes directly through the mountains and some sweet little villages. Very interesting
