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.
