Chiang Mai to Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station Destination Reviews

JG
The train had problems and had to go back to the main line station but it was sorted out ‘quickly’ but we lost some time. We understand it’s an old train so we were okay as we didn’t have a time schedule. The day trip was great. Having food to buy for lunch was great as we didn’t know and it wasn’t mentioned in our documents when purchased. The night trip was amazing and the service of staff was fantastic!!! Very friendly and helpful. The sleeper cabin was a complete surprise and we were very happy and would highly recommend anyone to book it as a fantastic experience!! Again not a lot of information about there being showers on the train which was important to know and a nice surprise that they were there.

More than expected from our trip, comfortable seats, food and at 1/2 way we got a meal. Time went quickly The only issue was that the voucher didn’t tell us what was included, we bought heaps of snacks for the trip but didn’t need them

Trip was great but they wake you up 60 mins before arriving. There is no guidance or map on 12go of the stops so I ended up getting off too early and had to take another train to my destination.

Freezing. It’s unfortunate because the train was new, smooth and on time.

I didn't know it was an old train before and in the old trains the upper berth is almost just half the size of the bottom one. Didn't really get a shut-eye at all.
