Passenger reviews out of total 50,490 passengers who traveled with us on this route.
At 12Go our operators offer three types of service:
Cheap, Fast, Good - but you can usually pick only two of them!
Cheap & Fast won’t be Good. (e.g. buses from/to Khao San Road, local buses or 3rd class trains)
Cheap & Good won’t be Fast. (e.g. VIP trains in Thailand)
Fast & Good won’t be Cheap. (e.g. private limousine services, or VIP24 buses vs Express buses)
Make your choice! Please remember that while we are closely monitoring the services, we are still an agency marketplace. That means we focus on ticketing services and route availability & coverage rather than on the factual seat reclining angle you will get on the bus today.

Comfortable, quiet, overnight train very relaxing way to get to Bangkok

A very memorable experience with superb staff and service
train #8 Class II AC, Thai Railways
Die Tickets haben wir auf Nachfrage in unser Hotel schicken lassen. Ticketservice war prima.
Der Zug war schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Die Klimaanlage produzierte arktische Temperaturen. Was fast unerträglich war. Der Service und das Essen waren soweit in Ordnung. Für 10 Stunden Fahrt gab es ausreichend zu essen und zu trinken.

It will be nice to adapt better the air conditioning. ;)
train #10 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
compared to the train we took to chiangmai from bangkok, this one (5pm train) was really old and uncomfortable.
the staff was nice with the kids but the berths were very small.
bus Express, Bangkok Busline
Bus was comfy, snacks were nice, free water and lots of space. Great trip!
train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
Even dressed warmly in my hoodie, and the heavy blanket provided by SRT, I was cold. The First Class compartment temperature dropped to at least 17, according to the monitor.
train #14 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
You lure customers by suggesting that they can travel 1st class by train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, but when you book it soon turns out that it is only 2nd class. Then you feel cheated anyway. The train we were in was old and unconfortable. The facilities are no longer of this time. Round out filthy!
bus Express, Bangkok Busline
It all went well,but the driver has been driving very fast, which I found a little anoying

Excellent !

1 class sleeper. Worth every bath
train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
My wife and I had travelled the SRT 1st Class sleeper before, so we knew what to expect - so we bought warm clothing and toiletries, including a towel (these items are a MUST). Because we were well prepared, the journey was quite enjoyable. The train is clean, pretty smooth and quiet, the toilets and showers worked fine, the staff were very prompt and professional and the food was acceptable (great coffee in the morning!). I recommend the Ist Class sleeper as an interesting value for money experience for couples, no problem!
bus Express, Bangkok Busline
Good, food included
We arrived 2 hours to late, that's a shame
train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
A good trip - something worth doing - the 1st class is clean and perfect but ... so cold with the Air conditioning! Ended up putting clothes on over top! Just needs an off function in the cabin, had a shower whilst moving that was a unique experience and def a way to travel without hassle of flying! - they do wake you up too early to tidy the train with 1.5 hours to go we could have slept more!!!!
train #52 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Overall a good experience. The departure time of 15:30 was my third choice. Even though I booked the trip 60 days in advance as suggested. Highly suggest booking earlier than 60 days to get the train you want. My preference would have been the later two times since they newer trains.
train #10 Class II Ladies Only, Thai Railways
We travelled this time in the new car so is was much better. We had the night sleeping train. Just the curtains should be darker like in the old one- if you're sleeping on the upper bank you have a very strong light straight to your eyes just a meter from you- eye shade doesn't help.
Would be also nice to instruct people on the (locals in my case) that talking loudly from 4:30am is not the best idea as there are people who want to sleep...
train #10 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
I have used 12goasia many times to book tickets. They are reliable, great communication, highly recommend.
train #14 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Old-fashioned sleeper car. Friendly conductor who helps with the luggage for the passengers and makes the bed for you. Tables are removable and are not installed by default. AC is less strong than the Special Express No. 9, I personally feel more comfortable. More local people onboard, which I think it is nice. Fall-though toilet,
bus Express, Bangkok Busline
Nice trip
bus Express, Bangkok Busline
Bus trip went well, arrived half an hour after planning (as indicated in advance). Water, cookies and lunch were fine. Tour operator was somewhat impatient when I didn't find my seat immediately (the numbers are positioned really low on the back of the seat).
train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
12go Asia service was fantastic, tickets were ready as described and as asked . Easy and convenient. On the other hand I found the train uncomfortable as the seats were very firm , even after they converted them to beds. Food, space and amenities are good, but it is like sleeping on the floor. Too hard that I have back pain this morning .

A pity the announcement was all in Thai.

Best night's sleep my entire three weeks in Thailand! Ladies Only was clean and not too cold. I brought my sleep sack and with provided linens was very comfortable. Also used eye mask to keep the light out.
train #52 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Definetely a more confortable way to travel, 2 bathrooms on the carriage and sleeping quarters are set up at about 7pm, know your destination as once close to Bangkok there are multiple stops, it was around the airport where we were more or less woken up
train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
Le train est confortable sans plus et les banquettes dures; la climatisation est quasiment non réglable.
le personnel est accueillant et prévenant; la nourriture en 1st class est correcte.
train #8 Class II AC, Thai Railways
Amazing scenery & if you ask drivers they let you take pictures from the window between them with uninterrupted view - only downside wish they would clean the windows. Great staff as usual, toilets clean & food was ok.
train #10 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Everything was great but they did not turn the lights off
train #10 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Collecting the ticket at Bossotel was very quick and easy. Railway staff was very courteous. Made the bed very efficiently. It was comfortable. I could not order any hot water as I was not well and was forced to buy a hot tea instead. Otherwise, it was a good experience.

Heerlijke luxe en ruime bus en stipt op tijd.
train #10 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Collecting tickets at hotel desk was easy. They also provided room for several hours whilst waiting for 6pm train at modest cost. At first train coach quite cold but once sleeping it was comfortable. Very clean and toilets cramped but perfect.
train #14 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
I enjoyed everything about the trip. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was good. The only complaint is the air con valves were broken and could not be closed. The room was freezing and almost made me sick. The 9 & 10 trains are more modern but were booked.
train #8 Class II AC, Thai Railways
3 dishes and air cindition Everything ok
train #52 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Collection of tickets was easy but communication at the train station was a factor, Platform for train departure is not visible, train stops at different station was not able to understand and toilets was left to your imagination and finally, being a secure ticket holder, i don't see the reason to pay to go to a toilet at stations. my 2 cents sharing, Sawadee
train #52 Class II Sleeper Fan, Thai Railways
The train was pretty basic, sleeping was fairly comfortable and the cars were kept cool. However I did find the bathrooms quite disgusting, especially closer to the end of the trip. Also the food was expensive, not very good and cold.
train #10 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Bed very hard and dont expect smooth train riding ie europe ..but over all an intersting trip .

train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
It was a fun experience and the 12goasia staff were awesome. We did the overnight from chaing Mai to Bangkok. The air quality was very bad the exhaust blew in our cabin all night and black stuff was falling out of the vents. For the first half of the trip our room was so hot and having bad smoky air was freaking is out. Around 11pm the air gold so cold we cold not sleep. They should improve their air filter system and allow control of the room temps. The food was a little pricey and limited options. Bring your own. Also, we did not know they had a no alcohol rule. I would do it again just better prepared.
train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
Was really excited as this was the first time I have managed to book 1st class. Would now recommend 2nd class if you are a solo traveller. You actually get more privacy and will feel you disturb others less with your own berth and curtain. Not a good experience sharing a tiny space with a stranger. Started thinking this is how a prison cell would feel like at night. Could hear the couple in the next cubicle intimately too, plus a child up late somewhere else! In 2nd ckass its lights out and everyone settles quickly. Lastly, the air con was horrendously cold, hence waking up every half hour and trying not to disturb the stranger above... I love the overnight train but I'll be a 2nd class girl everytime from now on.
bus VIP, Budsarakham Tour
Very disorganized and didn’t have a systematic way of getting people to their seats. I was sitting near the toilet and it smelt absolutely awful!! Not to mention the bright blue light above the toilet that was shining in everyones’ eyes. Seats were very close together - when the person went to recline they were basically on top of my legs! We were also seated near where they were storing all the bottles of water which resulted in lots of squeaking noises. Didn’t stop once the whole bus ride for a break to stretch legs or use a toilet that wasn’t disgusting. Only plus was we got in 2 hours early.
bus Express, Bangkok Busline
I paid ca. 20% more for this Bus Company cause they give blankets and Snacks, but most important was the USB-Charging which only functioned on the way to Chiang Mai but on the Way back it didn't work. Easy Fix and i would have given 5 stars for price-performance wise
train #14 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
We arrived late for our train and were told that the only option was to catch the train the next day. The only seats available where third class no air. Not acceptable!! So we started looking up flights to leave Chiang Mai to Bangkok.
I spoke to a conductor as a last attempt to get on the last train for the day and showed him my ticket for the five o’clock train. He showed my the time as being 6:20. I confirmed that I knew my situation.
He then took me to customer service they arranged for a taxi to take us to the next stop - a hour and a half away. It would cost us 1500 bhat. Which was nothing!!
The driver raced to the train stop, breaking speed limits as we drove. We jumped on the train with moments to spare. The train pulled out of the train station as we climbed the stairs.
I would like to thank the quick thinking staff that got us on our way without even a thought.
Thank you

Very cold and the lights never turned off all night! Very hard to sleep
train #52 Class II Sleeper Fan, Thai Railways
We arrived at Hua Lamphong safely. The train is old and not clean. I was on the upper berth and I couldnt sleep well because there is no bar on the side to stop me from falling, in case I turn.
train #52 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Everything was on time with departure. Just little bit late we arrived to Bangkok. Sleeping berth was very good. You can sleep normally. Clean covers, bed prepared by stuff around 19 o'clock. Just toilet.. one toilet I found normal another ones just whole on the floor ;)

Train 10 2nd class A/C sleeper.
Train interior is nice and new but the A/C seems to be much weaker than the old train 51. Bedding is still very comfortable but woke up too warm in the middle of the night.

Great experience

The bus was really confortable and quiet

The bus was as spacious as a first class airplane, the legroom was INSANE, they gave water, snacks and food. I HIGHLY recommend this specific company to use.
bus VIP 27, Sombat Tour
Best bust trip of my life.
train #14 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
Ticket collection and carriage/bed location straight forward enough. Steward gave out dinner and breakfast card options which we selected early in the trip. Other steward constructs and makes up beds in our own personal room. 2 * shared toilet and showers at end of car. Not fantastic but I've seen worse. Steward got food order wrong and couldn't understand us too much, but we made do with what we received, food is okay, portions are small, advise you take some snacks and toilet paper before boarding. Ride a bit bumpy and noisy and Aircon makes room a bit cold. So best take ear plugs and Wear some clothes to bed. We both managed 6 hours of broken sleep, not great, but enough yo see you through the next day. That being said, we would definitely use this service again rather than take a flight.

Very confortable ride but the bus starts to show signs of age, when we entered the smell was unpleasant. Cleaning could be improved. Bus was on time and we arrived earlier. All in all a pleasant experience.

Đi khá lâu, nếu có ghế nằm thì tốt hơn, động cơ hơi ồn. Ngoài ra dịch vụ ăn uống, máy lạnh thì khá rồi.

Horrible Trip. Sleeping option was a desaster. It was terribly cold and I had to put on long clothes (Winter Jacket included). Otherwise I wouldn't survive the night.

My driver Big Ben was great! He drove all the way from Chiang Mai to Bangkok from 5:00am to 1:30pm nonstop. I slept the whole way and we actually made it there ahead of schedule. He was very nice and accommodating and the Ford Explorer was extremely comfortable. The seats recline all the way back which made sleeping easy. He also provided water. Great guy. Thanks so much.

Quite comfortable, but no Wi-Fi on board and horribly cold
bus Express, Bangkok Busline
Comfy bus and relatively clean with a good driver and friendly attendant. The only negative was the fact that they only stopped for one break in the 11 hour journey, although, there was an ok toilet on board.
bus VIP 31, Sombat Tour
Service and facilities are amazing.
train #14 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
Travel was ok, however, I was expecting a little bit more from the 1st class. It was pretty basic.
train #8 Class II AC, Thai Railways
We were 1.5 hours delayed and there was no English announcement what the reason was.
train #10 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
It is our first time taking the train. When we boarded the attendants asked if we wanted fruit (platter) that we thought to be complimentary. After handling us the fruit she walked away to the other passengers. Good thing we asked when she returned otherwise we will be paying unnecessarily.

The girl attendant is rude and the comfort room is not clean. I also suggest to have english translation when they announced something on the microsphone since most of the passengers are foreigners. However, I liked the bus free meals and comfortability of seats.
train #52 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Train toilet needs updating, just a hole in floor where waste goes untreated onto tracks.
Train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai was luxurious compared going back from Chiang Mai to Bangkok.
This train was old and rusty. Chiang Mai to Bangkok.
train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
The first class is really good but the air conditioner was really strong so we barely could sleep. The system should be improved in order to have a control on the air conditioner or at least to shut down when we don't want. The staff was really nice and polite and helped us a lot because there was a train crash with a car and we have to wait 2.30h. We almost lost our next flight due to that. Besides that it's a nice experience.
train #14 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
Very old train
Not very clean overall but fortunately sheets were clean
WO: Fruit juice & fruits indeed not included ...
Finally we slept no so bad ...
train #14 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
The trip was fine and went fast for 13 hours...I would recommend to book the downer berth and not the upper one you will have less light and air conditioning and sleep better! They don’t provide you anything for free like water or little snack like in other train in Thailand so if you don’t want to pay a lot for food take your own food snacks and drinks ;)
train #10 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
The train was on time, the picking up of the the ticket was fast and simple, and the ride was enjoyable. The food on the train the other very average and expensive.

Food is way too expensive and said our coke was included in the price but when we were paying we were getting charged for them! Man was very rude and was calling the police on me! Disgusted with the service.

Bad food and worse toilets

Would have been 4 stars if the food wasn't overpriced cheap microwave food.

Ventilation malfunction almost whole trip (smell diesel inside). Horrible rails makes trip shaky and bumpy.
Good food and baverages. Nice and helpful staff.

Plenty of taxis at the drop off point. I will look for this one again when traveling by bus.

Exceeded my expectations.. apart from it was very cold and there was no way to stop the AC
train #14 Class II Sleeper AC, Thai Railways
Food was good, there was a socket nearby for me to charge my phone. The bedsheets were clean and fresh and the blanket was warm enough. I slept undisturbed until morning and they woke us up about an hour before arrival to return the beds into a seating position. Overall good experience
train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
Week organized, efficient and comfortable. We brought our own food. Found out you can pre order coffee for the morning. We'll do that next time
train #10 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
I travelled on the overnight sleeper train from Bankok to Chiang Mai and returned on it also. It's an experience worth having, but don't expect really comfy beds, even in 1st class. I'd say the bottom bunk is better than the top. Also on the return journey the aircon was much too high and it felt quite cold.
bus VIP 27, Sombat Tour
Travelling was terrible. Sits were not comfortable (even massage option didn't help) , there was a lot of noice when bus was on bumbs on the road, and everything was shaking. If you are foreigner and don't speak Thai, stuff won't be able to answer your simplies question like: how long will be the break. Pictures from the bus are taken from sits at the bottom level which looks totally different. There is no charging option for your Phone! So if you are travelling all around Thailand as we do, that could be a problem. We will not choose this company again.
train #14 VIP Sleeper, Thai Railways
Good service From 1 of the captains And On the station itself. No explanation bout the coupe. Toilet hygiëne was Very low
