- Hello CZcams!
In this video I take you on a journey in a 2nd class sleeper train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. I start with a detailed walkthrough of the wonderful Chiang Mai Rail Station so you can decide how much time you want, or don't want to spend there!
There is plenty to see along the way, and if you haven't tried it yet, I suggest you get a ticket and get going! Be sure to book your tickets in advance, especially in the high season. I walked to the train station to buy mine as the internet was telling me there were no more available, however, they had a few at the station and the price was better! I booked about 10 days prior to my departure.
The cost is very similar to that of a night bus, and the trip is a bit longer, but having your own bed beats the reclining bus seats!

Thanks for the video. I particularly appreciated the tour of Chiangmai train station. When I first started coming to Chiangmai around 1999, I’d take the train every time from Bangkok. I’m a light sleeper, so I never got much sleep on the train. I’m going back in May and decided to take the train after I land at Bangkok’s airport around 1 PM. I might get the name of the taxi driver from you for the trip from the airport to the train station. I’ll be bringing 2 checked bags and a carryon, so any carts or help at the train station would be much appreciated
Thanks for the comment! Yes I hadn't found a good descriptive video for the the train station so I thought Id make one. Mr. Sit is the name of the taxi driver, I had him actually drive me to Chiang Mai from Bangkok. Id be happy to give you his contact info, but I dont want to post it publicly here. If you reach out to me on Instagram or Facebook I can set you in the right direction! I'm excited for your trip!
Great video mate. Can't wait for the next one
Thanks sir! Working on it!
Oh those Melon ice cream are great. They are $16 AUD here for 6 of them 🥲
Haha ya they are way overpriced in Canada as well. Gotta love Thailand! Minus 40 here as well today so everything is an ice pop today!
This is great and I'm going to Bangkok and Chiang Mai in November. Definitely want to take the sleeper train too. I'm really looking forward to it and I felt your sadness about leaving there. Hope you get to go back there again and again soon
It is a very hard place to leave! The longer you stay, the harder it is to leave. I am also planning to return in November, I have a soft spot for Loy Krathong in Chiang Mai. Unbelievable festival, the entire city is pure gold for 3 days of celebration!
@thejauntingape oh wow, that sounds amazing. I'm only there (CM) for a week as heading on to Australia. 20th til 27th to be precise.
Ah I see, they base the festival on the 12th full moon, which I believe falls on November 16th this year. Last year it was the 28th and it was amazing! But so was everything else! I have a few other videos on Loy Krathong, Doi Suthep and a river cruise I would encourage you to have a peek when you have some time. The night tour of Doi Suthep is amazing and there is a secret viewing platform there to get the view all to yourself! We might be there at the same time, I have not put in for my holidays yet but regular time off starts on the 26th so if I can get approved a week early Ill be there haha! Looks like Ill be missing the festival this year as well.
@thejauntingape I shall make a note of the river cruise and private viewing platform etc . Many thanks. I'll certainly check out the suggested videos too. Be lucky (wink)
Love your videos man 👍🏼 I’m taking my wife and 4 kids to Thailand in a few days. NZ to Thailand for 3.5 weeks 😊 We are taking the overnight train from Bangkok to Thailand and your video is both timely and on point! Love your work 🤩 Keep it up brother 👏
Isn't Bangkok in Thailand? Which other location are you going to? I would love to visit Chiang Mai and anywhere else convenient in that part of the world
I'm excited for you! It's going to be a trip of a life time! I appreciate the comment!
Nice
Thanks
Nice vid. How much is 10 bot in Cdn $?
Thanks! 10 baht is $0.38 haha! Right?
I tried the chewing gum it’s awful. Idk what u thought of them
I thought It tasted a lot like Redbull, I brought back a few packs to give to my crew, and they really loved it!
How much sleep n how long the trip to bkk thanks
The train left Chiang Mai at 3:30 PM sharp and arrived just after 5:00AM. So not quite 14 hours. The beds were all made by around 6:00PM so you could potentially get 9+ hours of sleep, not a problem!
