Wat zijn de treinklassen en -prijzen van Thai Railways?
Afhankelijk van de lengte van uw reis en uw voorkeuren kunt u kiezen voor een ticket in eerste of tweede klasse in een slaapwagon voor een reis met overnachting of kiezen voor een harde of zachte zitplaats indien beschikbaar. Merk op dat de keuze van de ticketklassen afhangt van zowel het traject als de lengte van uw reis. In principe kan het zijn dat u in uw trein een plaats in eerste klas vindt, maar dat u die niet kunt boeken als u maar een korte reis van twee uur maakt. In het algemeen zijn tweede klas ligplaatsen een goede keuze voor langere reizen, en zachte zitplaatsen zijn beschikbaar als uw treinrit is verondersteld minder dan 4 tot 5 uur te duren.
Voor- en nadelen van reizen per trein
De voordelen van reizen per trein
- Het beste aan reizen per trein is dat er geen files zijn. Zelfs niet in de spits, lange weekends of tijdens het hoogseizoen.
- Tickets kunnen snel en eenvoudig online geboekt worden. U hoeft niet naar het station te gaan, wat nog niet zo lang geleden op veel plaatsen het geval was!
- Prijzen voor treinkaartjes zijn meestal voordeliger in vergelijking met vliegtickets, maar voor bepaalde bestemmingen en reizen kan de totale reistijd bijna gelijk zijn.
- Hoewel reizen per trein natuurlijk langzamer is dan per vliegtuig, liggen de treinstations vaak in het centrum van de stad, wat u veel tijd bespaart om er te komen, terwijl luchthavens bijna altijd een heel eind buiten de stad liggen.
- Reizen 's nachts stelt u in staat te besparen op een hotelkamer en goed te slapen op hetzelfde moment, in tegenstelling tot een nachtbus waar zelfs de slaapklasse niet heel comfortabel is.
- Op bepaalde routes is een luxe service beschikbaar.
Nadelen van reizen per trein
- Voor langere reizen is een treinreis zeker tijdrovender dan een vliegreis.
- Treinen rijden wel op schema, maar vertragingen zijn niet ongehoord bij treinreizen en vertragingen kunnen enorm zijn, dus als u een aansluiting op uw vlucht plant, kijk dan goed hoe laat uw trein op het station aankomt en denk twee keer na.
- Netheid is soms een probleem in tweede of derde klasse, en ook de toiletten zijn niet altijd even hygiënisch.
- Als uw trein veel stopt, is het in sommige gevallen moeilijk om uit te vinden wanneer u moet uitstappen, omdat de haltes niet altijd duidelijk worden aangekondigd of gemarkeerd, met uitzondering van een elektronisch scherm.

Trein #85 Tweede klasse slaapwagon met airco, Thai Railways, 29 feb. 2024
It's really nice to just relax and sleep while traveling. They could be better about notifying passengers when they've arrived at a stop. Overall for the price, a great way to go long distance.

Ondanks dat we een vertraging hadden van 8 uur omdat voor ons op het spoor een ongeluk was gebeurd is de reis me prima bevallen.
Iedereen was gemoedelijk. Er werd zelfs voor (gratis) eten en drinken gezorgd door de lange vertraging.
Nadeel lampen blijven aan en het is heel koud in de trein.

Der Zug war pünktlich. Iwie war es ein Abenteuer und auch gemütlich. Zumindest im unteren Bett. Für den Preis definitiv die coolere Art zu reisen anstatt sich in ein Flugzeug zu setzen.

Satisfied, on time, clean except that we felt the train was slow and stopped at every station (I think it was unnecessary for a special express train like this. )

Trein #25 1ste Klasse Sleeper, Thai Railways, 16 sep. 2023
Clean cheap fast and efficient. We did the overnight train from Bangkok to the border of Laos. We treated ourselves to the private sleeper room, Because in America, this is expensive to ever do.
It was so nice. They had the beds are already made and even though obviously it’s a small room it’s enough space to put your bags underneath the bed and stretch out and staring out at the
Passing countryside and towns. I kind of wish we had taken a 10 hour trip during the day so there was stuff to watch. But this was a night train. Everyone was very quiet and we were actually able to get to sleep. Clean blankets, and linens. I read online that they have towels for the shower, but we did not see that so I did not use the shower, which is communal him down the end of the train car.
We bought the tickets with 12Go, and wish it was that easy to get the tickets for the Lao/China railway. But we couldn’t figure that out so later took a hellride minibus 10 hours from Vientiene to Luang Prabang. I do not recommend that - figure out those train tickets.
I walked through the entire train to get to the dinercar, and the second class sleeper area actually quite nice too. It’s private little curtains for everyone to sleep.
I would love to travel this way again.

At first it looked fine. Bed was soft and you had enough space. But when the train started, everything moved so much, there was no way you could sleep like that. We did not sleep unfortunately.

Trein #13 1ste Klasse Sleeper, Thai Railways, 5 jul. 2023
It was so damn cold. It felt like 16-17 degrees. However, I slept like a Baby. And such a night train is just awesome from a time Perspective (not Llosing too much). Would do again.
We will just remember to put on some more cloth.
Oh and better ask for the prices of food and beverages on the train. They are quite expensive.

Ik heb deze trein al vaker genomen van bangkok naar chaing mai en andersom. Ongeveer 4/5 keer totaal.
Elke keer prima ervaring mer 12go nooit problemen. De trein zelf is altijd op tijd en schoon. Personeel in de trein is heel vriendelijk. Het enige nadeel is de airco die hard blaast.
Tevens was het voor mij niet mogelijk om een digitale ticket te krijgen. Het ophalen bij het hoofdkantoor in bangkok is helaas ook een nadeel

Too small bed for me, I am tall and also AC too cold but overall it was okay;) I would add some power socket in upper bed because there are some only very low and I couldn’t charge my phone.

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.

Jeg havde booket en underkøje (da jeg er dårligt gående) men da jeg skulle hente billetterne på 12goasia´s kontor var der sket en fejl så der var istedet booket en overkøje. Og der var ikke flere underkøjer ledige. Fik kun en beklagelse men ikke kompensation. Virkelig dårlig kundeservice.

The Service of 12goasia was brilliant.
I booked a lower bed but there was only a upper bed free. And I choosed the upper bed. But, don't take this option. Yow have no window.
And for the local 12goasia team in the DOB building. The restaurant service at the night train operates the first time on 7.12.22. So it is open now.

Ein Absolut geiles Erlebnis. Jedem wirklich zu empfehlen, muss man mal gemacht haben(Schlafwagen Aircon 2Kl). Im Zug zu schlafen war kein Problem , auch wenn die Fahrt ruppig war. Man bekommt ein Laken und ist selbst mit Shorts vor der Klimaanlage gut geschützt. Mit Schlafmaske, Ohropax und eventuell Reisekaugummis seid ihr bestens vorbereitet. Essen wird euch auch im Zug verkauft für kleines Geld.

Trein #32 Tweede klasse slaapwagon met airco, Thai Railways, 16 nov. 2022
We booked the #32 to depart Hat Ya 17:45 for Bangkok, This was one of the ‘newer’ trains. It was at the platform about 16:30 so plenty of time to sit on it and relax prior to departure. We only booked 4 days in advance and 12Go ensured the tickets were ready for us to collect in the parcel room at Hat Yai station on the day of travel. The parcel room operator knew exactly what/who we were the minute walked through the door so I’m guessing they have this a lot! (The parcel room is just to the left hand side of platform 1). The trip back to Bangkok took 18.5 hours in the end , I think it should have been about 17.5, not an issue for us really. We purchased enough food before we left Hat Yai for the duration of the trip as on a previous route (Bangkok to Chiang Mai) the food service hadn’t reopened since covid so thought the same for this. In the morning (from about 7am) staff did walk up and down offering various snacks so I guess they’re trying to some kind of food service back on track. Just remember if you want a lye in in the morning, don’t let the conductor see your awake otherwise they’ll try and pack the bed down as early as they can! Although some of the announcements are made in English for the stops, the staff walking up/down the isle generally only talk in Thai so it’s not easy to know what they’re saying half the time but didn’t really effect us. Overall it was a good experience again and I’d recommend it if you want a cheaper way to travel back up north.

Pleasantly surprised by the journey considering the horror stories you hear. Beds were turned down at 8pm and there wasn't too much noise after. Only complaint is the lights were left on and being on the top bunk it was very bright.

Reliable, detail-oriented. Thank you very much.
But one thing to critique, perhaps beyond your control. Why do you put all farang into the same train carriage? There were almost no Thais in the same carriage! Does Thailand's national railway network not believe in farang and Thais being allowed to mix?

Enjoyable ride for the most part. I paid for 2nd class ac seats but the first part of the trip was a little too warm in the cab until we figured out there were ceiling fans to turn on. That made it more enjoyable until the ceiling fan got stuck and only blew on the other side. Overall trip was fine.

Getting the ticket from 12go was a good experience. They answered all my quieries. Getting the ticket from Hatyai office was also a pleasant experience. Train ride in 1st class was definitely a very different experience from the usual 2nd class sleeper. This will be my preferred choice of travelling in the future if we ever take this train again.

The service from 12Go was excellent, the lady in the ticket office in Hua Lamphong was very helpful. I recommend using Google maps to find the office if you need to pick up tickets. We were given one small water on the train and our bed was made up around 8-8.30pm, the lady in the ticket office warned us there was no food or drink sold on the train so we came prepared, the train got to our destination an hour late which was expected.

I was pleased with my trip. Before the journey, my concerns were overcrowding, a sleepless night, having to set up the berth myself, and hunger. But my fears were unfounded. The train was uncrowded, I slept comfortably in a cozy berth, and a male attendant set up the berths himself. I was never hungry nor thirsty, because there were a lot of hawkers boarding the train from time to time to sell foodstuff. I now know that Thai Railways made sure it's passengers would be satisfied.
