Udon Thani to Bangkok, Train #26 1st Class Sleeper, Thai Railways (การรถไฟแห่งประเทศไทย), Apr 1, 2026

Stephanie G

It was still worth the price - it was much cheaper than the bus, there was a toilet, and food vendors, so it was okay. But we arrived about two hours later than the stated time. Also, there was no option for me to buy two seats next to each other, so my friend and I were awkwardly sitting in different parts of the car.

It was too cold and it was not possible to make it less. For paying VIP this should work.

We had a really good experience on the train from Udon Thani to Bangkok in the sleeper bunks. Beds were pretty nice and we got lots of sleep. Pillow and blanket were nice too! Would definitely recommend train travel in Thailand

The train arrived at the destination in time. Friendly service, relatively clean, aircon cool but not too cold, the bunks are big enough even for most europeans and there is a power socket.

Good for 3rd Class but better to pay the extra $10 dollars or so and be much more comfortable.
