Bangkok to Surat Thani Train Station Destination Reviews

NG
The train was so ridiculously, rententlessly bone shaking and noisy it was almost impossible to sleep.
Train #85 1st Class Sleeper, Thai Railways (การรถไฟแห่งประเทศไทย), Apr 20, 2024

Train was clean, comfortable. AC working. Only I have not space for my bag. It was on the floor in front of the seat. So not much space for my leg.

In itself okay so just a normal train and you get a blanket, but next time I would take a bus. Despite the blanket it was ultra cold and very shaky

It's really nice to just relax and sleep while traveling. They could be better about notifying passengers when they've arrived at a stop. Overall for the price, a great way to go long distance.

Hope that you don't het the very first seats in the compartment as they have cramped leg space and the train horn is too loud.

Everything perfect except the air conditioning, which is really too loud. I think the fans are enough for an overnight trip.

It’s my first time using 90 degrees chair for 11 hours. It was really hurt my back

The Service was really nice and helpful! The train was on time. The seats were okay! You have space and you’re able to lean back. We had second class seats. We would definitely recommend to book a sleeping place, because we couldn’t sleep at all. From Bangkok to Surat Thani we bearly slept. The bright lights are on all night long! So that’s really tough. It’s really loud and In the night it can get cold. If you choose to take second class seats in a night train be prepared.

Seats are not that comfortable. Train stops almost at every station making it difficult to sleep for long journey

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Bangkok and Surat Thani Train Station, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
