In this vlog, you'll see the new train in Thailand, the Special Express, more modern and convenient. The departure is from Hua Lamphong train station at 6:10 PM.

► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and he's actually camera-shy, that's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉

Hello everyone! Here I am, just in time for the weekend 😁😁 We're back with the series in Thailand, this time taking you on a train ride from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, in the north of the country. For those of you in the USA, happy Thanksgiving weekend 🙏. Just a reminder, this trip was before the lockdown, that's why almost nobody is wearing masks. Stay safe and a big hug from both of us 🤗🤗
Another great video guys. Thank you for sharing 👍🇿🇦
can't wait to see the next vlog Renata 😉
Stay safe too
Happy Thanksgiving Renata and Gordon 🙏🏾💎♥️
Hello baby.
For anyone considering this trip, I would strongly recommend taking the last train of the evening. You'll spend the following morning passing through the mountains of north Thailand, an amazing experience; if you take the earlier trains, you'll pass though them in the dark!
Very good idea. I wish we had taken it.😀👍
Thank you
Thank you 😊
The most amazing part of the train trip for me was, that when you leave, you are in the middle of the city. When waking up in the train the next morning, the beautiful view of nature was awesome.
Yes so close to everything. And Chiang Mai is very easy to get around 👍😃
I feel almost like I traveled with you both through all you Vlogs! So much fun
Love that! Glad to bring you along 🤗❤🤗
Oh wow! I must take this train sometime! Thanks for the recommendation, Renata! Always a pleasure!
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching 😃👍
Can't wait for Thailand and THANKS for sharing with us❤
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching 🤗🤗
What a fun and informative video. Thanks for sharing! I hope you did enjoy your time in Chiang Mai.
Glad you enjoyed it!👍😃
Renata and Gordon another fantastic video Thailand will be my second destination after Japan
Thank you. I know you will enjoy.👍😍
One day trip in Thailand 😁
czcams.com/video/qkFsazOqVL4/video.html
I went to Chiang Mai during Loy Krathong 2017 and I’ve always been wanting to come back again ever since. It’s a really peaceful and friendly city that’s so similar to my hometown Jogjakarta, Indonesia.
Yes, very similar feel to the two cities. Thanks for watching😃👍
Lampun is very nice.
Really enjoyed this. I love the thought of taking a long train ride and watching the scenery stream by. Love how clean and convenient the cabins are. Will definitely try if I ever go Thailand.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I did the same same journey in second class. No complaints . I had a lower bunk and a bed that was wide enough for two people. Enjoyed breakfast in bed looking out of the huge picture window. A really great trip better experience than flying or coach.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing👍😀
I've been planning a trip to Thailand since last year. Too bad it failed because of the pandemic. I was very happy to find your video about the trip to Thailand and was helpful to me with a travel plan. Thank you Renata and have a great day💕
I'm so glad I could be useful! Hope you have a wonderful trip to Thailand when all this is over ❤
Things have changed quite a bit on that rail trip since I last took it about eight years ago. The cars are much improved with better sleepers and showers. At that time alcohol was allowed and they even had a party car. From 8pm till 12 the dining car would transform, lights went down music went up, you took a seat where you could find one. There were people from around the world what a blast. Your video brought back some good memories keep up the good work...
Wow, that would be great mingling with all the travelers. Thank you👍😃
I love that you still have material from before the pandemic. It's comforting to see!
Thank you
Great video!! Can't wait to start travelling again!! Cheers from Canada
Thank you very much Peter. Yes, we are all going stir crazy....travel would be good😃👍
Can't wait for the next Chiang Mai video❤️❤️❤️ Stay safe Renata and Baby Gordon
Thank you😃👍
Hello there, I’m Thai, live in Chiangmai and have never been on train in Thailand before. This is not what I expected at all! . So nice, clean and looks comfortable, have to try some point in my life.
Nice to watch your video. ^^
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 😃😍
I also have loads of footage to edit of Thailand made easy this year! Nice video & channel! ;)
Thank you😃👍
Greetings from Thailand😀 I can see you guys had a wonderful time in all of Thailand. Thank you for sharing beautiful videos. You are always welcome back to our country.😃
Thank you very much. I know we will return in the future👍😍
Love this! This video answered all my questions about taking a sleeper train from BKK. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Exactly why we create the content
ขอบคุณสำหรับการรีวิวรถไฟไทยนะครับ ขอให้เที่ยวและอาศัยอยู่เมืองไทยอย่างมีความสุขนะครับ

This is the first time I have seen a video of yours. It took me about 2 seconds to want to subscribe! You both seem like very nice and pleasant people. I really enjoyed the video. I am looking forward to watching your other videos.
Thank you very much I appreciate your support 😍👍
Excellent video as always. We loved Chiang mai and a train journey there would have been amazing. Maybe next time !
Thank you very much👍😃
I've done the train 3 times, 2 were 3rd class and one was 1st class. I had a better experience in 3rd class myself. It was more fun for me as a solo traveller and I met a group of people that I hung around with In Chiang Mai.
Yes, a great way to make friends. Thank you for sharing your experience
Nice video Renataaa ❤
Thank you very much😍
WOW!!! Amazing blogging. Outstanding presentation and blogging. I am absolutely overwhelmed to Chiangmai after longtime. I had been in Chiangmai in 2014. Anyway stay blessed and stay safe. 💓🌷🙏
Thanks a ton, really appreciate it. Stay safe and blessed as well 🙏
It's always fun to watch videos, nothing superfluous and fantastic editing. You are a very nice couple💕. Hello from Russia!
Thank you very much!! We appreciate 😃👍
Seeing your videos in the wrong sequence but still very worthwhile, they are all great. Thank you.
I am Thai, It's very nice video.I never tried this train before. Let me try as soon.
You should 😉😊. I'm glad you like the video, thank you so much
You are so lucky !!

I am Thai and love watching your vdo as you talk about the Thai history that I don’t know before.
HAHA...thank you. I bet you knew you just couldn't remember. Love your country and I hope I can cover again soon.
Fantastical video! Keep them coming..
Thanks, will do!
I traveled up during the day, so much to see. I miss Thailand very much 😍
Fantastic. We too miss Thailand. 😃👍
Watching your vdo with smile. Even I have my car in Thailand but I still want to travel by train around the country again when I can go back home without quarantine.
I hope you get the chance soon. Thanks for watching😃
Look amazing! I am Thai but never tried 1st class train before becuase it 's so overwhelmed and quickly fulled. The 1st class seats are very limited. Thank for sharing and hope you back to Thailand again soon.
Thank you very much. We will return in the future to explore more of Thailand👍😍
It's always a treat to see a video from you two! Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks so much!
Welcome to Thailand for you , Have a good trip ❤🙏
Thank you! 😃 We really enjoyed our visit and we look forward to returning to explore more in the future

Hi dear Renata I enjoyed your journey by train to chang mai a fantastic blog 👍
Thank you so much 😊 I appreciate
The best street food
Good price
Friendly people
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭 🙏🏻
Thank you. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning in the future😃👍
Always loved long distance overnight train travel, 1st class of course, far less hassle than flying, and city center to center, saves the cost of an hotel room and if travelling for just a meeting two nights rooms, will we ever be doing that again! Bonus of often a fine dining car and bar all with scenery passing. One of these days will get to do one of the famous 4 - 5 day ones.
Totally agree👍😃
Great video! Love the new trains. Can't wait until we can get back there!! Liked and subscribed 😎🙏
Thank you very much we appreciate the support😍👍
@@RenataPereiraTV Always..and mutual support is the best kind 😎😁🙏
Have fun with your trip I can hardly wait the next video clip 😂😂 Love from thailand 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you!! 😁
I love your video! the new main train station will be moved to Bangsue grand station so soon, because Hua Lumphong is very old now. the new one is quite modern, it really looks like Suvarnabhumi Airport. you should visit Thailand again when the pandemic is over. we all are delighted to welcome all of you :)
Thanks for the info! And thanks for the return invite. We will definitely explore more of Thailand😍👍
I Happy Very Much Good Video Thank you very much👏🏼👏🏼😍⚘💖
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching😍
Did this trip back in 2018 was beautiful falling asleep coming out of the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and waking up in rural Thailand 🇹🇭 just beautiful 🤩
Exactly, Chiang Mai is fantastic to slow down a little. Thanks for sharing👍😃
hi ! just came across your channel, subscribed and bell buttoned it ! have been binge watching the Ep ever since .......love your joie de vivre !......your cheerfulness and smile, cheers !
Welcome aboard! And we always appreciate your support. Thank you😃👍
Hope you enjoy the trip I dont take the local train like 10 years the last time was taking from BKK to KL the AC was freeze me to death. If you guys back to Thailand again in few months dont be surprised if Hua Lum Pong is no longer operating it will turn in to a museum maybe. Bangkok new Terminal is Bangsue Grand station (also connected to the MRT) it suppose to open this year but it bein posponed. Thailand been heavily building infrastructure a lot lately especially the rail system in both capital and regional what you guys took was a single track rail it cant be quick cause it have to wait to change to gauge so double track rail is a resonable solution and it under construction across the country along with the first high speed train line that going to connect betweeb Bangkok and China through Laos it also under-construction in both Laos and Thailand the Laos part might be complete ealier since China builds everything while Thailand part being built and founded by Thai companies it absolutely might take a while but 5 years according to plan.
Oh wow! That train will be amazing! And good to know Thailand is investing on a faster service. That was the only downside of the train, as it could be faster. And so interesting to hear about the plans for a future station! Yeah, when we're back we'll probably have to create another video 😉😊
Wonderful first class train ride to Chiang Mai. This means u will have video at that city later, right?
Yes, soon😃😍
That's great. So informative and resourceful.
It's good and useful for another traveler.
I love your content so much. 😍
I, even Thai, have never tried that brand new renovated sleeping train yet. 😹
Thank you! 😃 So happy that Thai find our information helpful. Do take the chance to ride the train...it was a joy👍😃
Wow
The train looks spanking new and service great.
May try it next time round
It is a fantastic service. Great to travel between major cities
I never seen a train like this in Thailand before Wow
Yes, a very good and comfortable train
There are very few first class railway path go truth. Hatyai, Chiangmai, Ubonratchathani and Nongkai.
@@RenataPereiraTV Were you freezing? First class used to be like being in a freezer!
No we were comfortable
Hi Renata, I'm really excited to see your husband's / Gordon funny face when he is asked strange things. LOL. 😅
