What are the Train Classes & Prices of Van2Travel Train?
Depending on the length of your trip and your preferences you can choose a first or second class ticket in a sleeper coach for an overnight trip or opt for a hard or soft seat if available. Note that the choice of ticket classes depends both on the route and the length of your trip. Basically, your train may feature first class berths but you will not be able to book one if you are doing just a short two-hour stretch. In general, second class berths are a good choice for longer trips, and soft seats get you covered if your train ride is supposed to take under 4-5 hours.
Pros & Cons of Train Travel
Pros of Train Travel
- The best thing about railway travel is no traffic jams. Even on rush-hour, long weekends or during the high season
- An easy online booking process – you do not need to go to the railway station, which was the case in many places not so long ago!
- Prices for train tickets are usually more affordable compared to airplane tickets yet for certain destinations and trips the total travel time can be almost the same
- While rail travel is obviously slower than air travel, railway stations are often located in the centre of the city which saves you a sack of time getting to/from there while airports are almost always are quite a long way out of the city
- Travelling by night allows you to save on a hotel room and sleep well at the same time – opposite to a night bus where even the sleeping class is a huge compromise
- On certain routes luxury service is available
Cons of Train Travel
- For longer trips a train ride is definitely more time consuming than air journeys
- Trains do ride on schedule but being out of schedule is not unheard of for train travel – and delays can be huge, so if you are planning a connection to your flight, carefully check the time your train arrives at the station and think twice.
- Cleanliness is sometimes an issue with second and third class tickets, and with toilets, too.
- If your train makes a lot of stops, in some cases it is difficult to figure out when to get off as stops are not always clearly announced or marked with the exception of an electronic screen.

Tickets should be available once eveything is paid.

Szilvia ÉThe train is old and loud, bring earplugs and an eye mask, if you go in a warm jacket and pants you won't be cold, bring food with you at night.
The boat is very fast, but the seats are uncomfortable, bring a hat and sunscreen.

Michael VThe information mail with ticket is a little confusing about what to do on the terminal station. The 2nd floor was closed. It would be sufficient to just write that you should look for the gate number based on the given train number.
There is no announcement in the train, so use an alarm clock and watch you location on gps maps.

Sydney CI booked the VIP service from Khao Sok to Bangkok. It was fairly pricy compared to flights (41€) but I wasn’t able to fly and wanted the possibility to recline my seat. The van picked me up 10min early and drove to Surat Thani. The bus arrived on time in northern Bangkok. It wasn’t the most modern bus but you got some snacks on board and I was able to get some sleep. Would recommend to wear long pants/ hoodie as it was fairly cold. Also the bathroom wasn’t clean but that is to be somewhat expected.

Caroline SEverything went perfectly :) The ferry arrived on time and in Surat Thani right on schedule. The meeting point at the Surat Thani pier for the onward transfer was easy to find, and the transfer from the pier to the train station went smoothly. The night train from Surat Thani to Bangkok also went perfectly; the train was on time and very clean.

Anil SOn my voucher iut said no need to have tickets. JUst scan the QR code when you check in.
When we got to the train station they asked for the tickets. We arrived with plenty of time 50 minutes before the train left. We did not have any the voucher. It took a long and stressful time to get the tickets, whihc we finally got 5 minutes before the train left. We have another trip with you to Langkawi on 5 Decemmber please send the tickwets to us well before we travel.
