Sarah PLove this sleeper train. Boarded on time at Bangkok arrived on time in Surat Thani. We were the 2nd class sleeper.
Love the way the seats are carefully made into beds for your journey, and the additional mattress on top of the seat cushion. You also get a pillow and laundered blanket. Bottom bunks are super spacious and I had enough room for some luggage in there with me. Curtains give you privacy. Booked with Thai trains to ensure our family was all together, would probably try and book 4 lower bunks next time for the space.
Train can be quite loud on the tracks but mostly just quite soothing. Would advise sleep masks (main lights stay on) and ear plugs for extra comfort.
Would highly recommend if travelling up or down through Thailand, fantastic service.

Catherine KWe travelled as a family of four people (2x adults and 2x teenagers (13yr and 16yrs) from Bangkok to Surat Thani. We ordered the tickets to be delivered to our hotel in Bangkok, and they were there waiting for us when we arrived from the UK. The station was super easy to navigate, the train was on time, clean, comfortable, and an exciting way to travel!

Anita PWe, family of 5, booked a trip including train, bus, ferry and hotel transfer. Tickets were delivered to our hotel upon arrival and everything went smoothly. We felt like we were carried from A to B. The train with 2nd class A/C sleepers was a new experience and we really enjoyed it. We booked late and got upper bunkers, but had the loveliest Thai passengers below that made our trip unforgettable. The train is old and the facilities are not like in Europe, but the beds are comfortable and clean. We are a tall family, with tallest one at 193 cm and had no problems with the length on the bed. The personell at the train register where your stop is and wakes you up in time and make sure you get off at the right stop. When we arrived we were met right outside the door by staff that guided us to the bus. We only had 30 minutes connection time, but had time for breakfast, coffee and toilet at the travel agency. Really a positive adventure to go by train and 12GO was really professional to book via.

Zbynek CWe are not used to such cold air conditioning, so we were cold. Overall, we did not sleep very well. But if we compare the price vs. quality, it is a really cheap way to travel a long distance in Thailand in relatively comfortable transport. Overall, we did not regret choosing this method.

Abdelhadi BWe had bookings but seperate over the wagon. Traveling with 2 children we asked for help if it's possible that we could at least be a bit together but there was no help! None whatsoever. We improvised by letting the kids sleep with us on the upper bed but it was so small that it was basically impossible to sleep.
Also the door to the wagen was broken so every time someone opened and passed the door it remained openZ you could hear the intense sound of the train as well.
The conductor was very u helpful
