  • I bought a $60 First Class overnight train ticket thinking it was going to be just that... For a 15 hour train ride I was expecting first class treatment all the way down to the south of Vietnam, but unfortunately this didn't seem to be the case.

    Railways in Vietnam have a very long history, it is more than 140 years old. After the war with France and the Vietnam War later, the railway lines were almost only maintained, repaired and very little investment. This is absolutely a true old train.
    Now they are focusing on highways and airports. Maybe there will be bullet trains in the future.

      Vietnam plans to build high speed railway but They are still considering two options for passenger trains with a speed of more than 300km/h and a combined passenger train with a speed of more than 200km/h.

    These are not really 1st class cabins. They would be considered as "soft sleepers" (4 beds) or 2nd class.
    The "1st class" cabins have only 2 beds.

    I kind of love the train rides in Vietnam, they are so oldschool. I think my train-counter sits at six or seven right now, with the longest journey being from Da Nang to Sai Gon at almost 18 hours. Have Always been travelling first-class with the 4-bed-rooms except once, where I took the VIP-cabin with only two beds. These are very nice if you are able to get a nice roommate.
    The restrooms are atrocious though.

    I took third class in China in 1993(hard seat, all other classes full) for 35 hours compared to that this is above gold, pure luxury. this reminds me more of Italian trains in the 1980's (slightly worse than Italian ones). Russian trains sleeper class were much wider and very nice simple and cheap restaurants i remember. I would take this one you showed for sure. maybe the bed looks a bit small(not wide). i would need to take the lower berth anyway as it has happened that i wake up in the middle of the night and move a lot , sort of nightmares . you don't want to jump from the top lol

    Damn! I don't know if I could deal with that "1st class" accommodation for that many hours. It was funny when your first "roommates" left and you started liking the lower bunk just to go back to the upper bunk hahaha! The ending is awful riding in the back with your luggage on your lap... I hope you made it to your destination safely... by the way, what happened to Ms. Wendy? I haven't seen her in the last 2 plus this video... did she go back to Australia?

    so dark... i mean inside the train during daylight; i don't know, i would opt out and grab an economy class train. man your bunk is even smaller than my bunk on the us navy ship. that room, though, don't know; hopefully, you did not paid an arm and a leg for it. dude, i would hate to be in that small room when everyone has a fart party (sorry can't help, i have been saving that for some time...) and you are on the top bunk, hot-air rise like the balloon ride back in vang vieng.
