Bangkok to Padang Besar Malaysia Destination Reviews

The train was reasonably clean and the bunks comfortable, though the ride was pretty much shaky. A/C working and we arrived maybe only 5 min late. The carriage looked old and some upkeep would be nice. Overall good, I would recommend it.

Older sleeper train so bed felt a little smaller in top bunk and lights were on all night, but temperature was good and good fast service. Maybe don’t let people try to be selling food before sunrise as that is too early to be woken up by sellers.

Too much walking. Need to install travelators. I am 83 years and will not be using that station again. I will opt to fly in/out next time.

It's unexpected that the railway station is so modern. The facilities are perfect;food station, food outlets, toilets, escalator, lifts, seats, information and the air conditioner.
