Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima Destination Reviews

Train let on time. Everything so far okay. If you book with 12go Asia you can't choose upper or lower bed so we had both a upper bed. Going up or down from this bed is a tricky thing with a tiny ladder. Also there was permanent light in the bed.

Train was great and comfortable, but there was a 45 minute delay when arriving in Phitsanulok. Luckily we didn’t have to be somewhere urgently.

Good trip, comfortable and on time. Complimentary Chicken burger offered and a bottle of water by the seat. Could add the check-in desk number (and floor number) to the e-ticket, especially useful for 1st time travelers to Mo-Chit .Other than that all smooth

I've mistakenly booked Don Muang instead for Bang Sue as departure. They changed for a fee of only 5 baht. The train is quite noisy and the A/C is too cold. So better bring warm clothes.

I got to my preferred destination, and that’s sort of it… Possibly due to roadworks the bus drove in walking pace for many kilometers, so arrived at my destination more than an hour later than scheduled… That’s really not that good. But other than that the ride was okay. Stopped for some food and stretching of legs just past Nakhon Ratchasima, which for me only felt like another minor road block, but if I had gone much further than Prathai, it definitely been necessary…
