The first class cabin was comfortable and fairly quiet. The train from Hua Hin to Hat Yai was on time and smooth ride all the way. I would take the train again on return to Hua Hin.

Hello! I bought a night bus ticket with the goal of spending the night and safely catching a big bus to Hat Yai. First, I waited 40 minutes on the highway for a passing bus to pick me up. And this is where the story should have ended. But at five o'clock in the morning the bus dropped off all the passengers in the middle of the village and went back to Bangkok. After waiting another hour, at an unknown location, they placed me and my luggage into a small minivan. As a result, we made a circle, stopped at a gas station, after which the car returned to where it left, after which the driver refused to go. After waiting for an undetermined amount of time, I was put into a small tuk-tuk and taken to the bus station in the nearest town. Where I still had to wait for a long time. As a result, they put me in another minivan. They demanded that I pay money for the ticket, although I had paid everything in advance. They refused to provide proof of payment or a new ticket. So we had to drive for another five hours. I bought a ticket for a VIP bus and was not warned that I would be woken up in the middle of the night and forced to shake in a small car, holding my luggage so that it did not roll around the car. I also got seasick in the small, shaking car. Paying for VIP, I expected a different attitude. While the workers were moving my luggage from car to car, the entire suitcase was worn out. I have photographs of all the transport and a boarding pass for the first bus I paid for, which did not take me to my destination.

The pick up point lacks any identification or instructions and the bus was late and did not have operable power outlets

I didn't need insurance, but was compiled seemingly without choice, or unknowingly to spend additional 30 dollars for something I didnt want.

Me and my friend really wanted to take the class A private cabin. Already paid for it and suddenly got a msg saying train only left with upper berth. Its always full. Very disappointed. The curtain for the bed was dusty, my nose was itchy the whole time. Oh ya and the aircond was too damn cold triggered my sinus even more. No lights-off, it was too bright at night made it hard for some people to sleep. At least dim the light a little. I did get a good sleep bcos of the mattress, blanket and the pillow was really comfortable. I would ride this train again hopefully get to experience the class A private or at least the female coach.

Our train was late but I don't know if they informed us or we didn't understand it.At our time a train arrived and we got on it.When we went to our berth number it was occupied.Our surprise was that we had got on the wrong train.The staff was very kind ,they got us off at another station and there they communicated with the other train and in the middle of the night we were able to get on our train.
