Second class AC non-sleeper Bangkok to Ning Khai Train left and arrived mostly on schedule. There were no issues other than the seat being uncomfortable and lacking legroom (I'm 1.8 meters tall). The train was a bit cold, we were given blankets. No water or snack provided. It was fine

Fantastic trip on train from Bangkok to Nong Khai. 2nd class sleeper was very clean. You are provided with a pillow and blanket which along with bed sheet was very clean. I was dubious about the toilet, however, also clean and tidy. Will definitely travel this way again.
