We recently spent the past week in Bangkok, and now we’re riding second class on this overnight sleeper train north as we make our way through 60 days of backpacking in Thailand. 🇹🇭

We'll share everything you need to know after we experience it so that you can have the smoothest ride possible if you choose to take the sleeper train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.

🚨IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FIRST-TIME TRAVELERS:🚨

We bought 2nd class tickets online and picked them up yesterday at an MRT station near Chatuchak Weekend Market. This is important information if you buy through 12Go because we had to search hard to find out where to pick them up. I think we would have been in big trouble if we picked them up the day of. The train will vary as two different sleeper car trains make the route to Chiang Mai. We took the special express train no. 9, I believe. The station is called Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. Also known as Bang Sue Grand Station when you google it. It's not hard to find, but the platform is. You'll likely have to walk to the far right and then back (there will be signage) We left from Gate B, Platform 1. But definitely check the departing gate properly. It might not be the same.

Hey! You read this far, so what do you think after watching the video? Do you think the train is worth it? Comment below!
