Even though we had an 8-hour delay because there was an accident on the tracks ahead of us, the trip was fine by me. Everyone was friendly. Food and drinks were even provided (for free) due to the long delay. Disadvantage lights stay on and it is very cold in the train.

From the original booking through to the journey itself, everything was excellent. Perfect communication and an extremely comfortable journey. Lovely to wake up to sunrise above the mountains.

I lay flat for a day from canteen food. Something was wrong with the food or drink. The bus was late, but otherwise the journey was uncomplicated.

It is an incredible experience, this sanctuary really made the whole trip to Thailand worthwhile. Incredible environment, the elephants are seen to be happy and the people who work there take good care of them. They gave us food, water, coffee and tea, and everything was exceptional! Each one of the guides is constantly aware of all the tourists and they are more than willing to take photos and help you with whatever you need! SPECTACULAR ADVENTURE!

Overall this trainride was very confortable. There was enough space in the bed. For a train bed it was also "soft". The only bad thing was that the light was permanently on.

Train was delayed by 10 minutes, but the train staff were helpful - no information on the notice boards. The train was quiet and clean, everyone was asleep by 10pm with nobody snoring! We felt very lucky, as we got a good sleep in. No train changes and few stops, everyone was lovely onboard, lots of other backpackers.
