Chiang Mai to Ayutthaya Destination Reviews

I enjoyed the experience but it was very rugged. Definitely for adventures types. The seats do recline a little bit but the lights never go out for sleeping. Not the most comfortable night sleep ever but worth trying at least once.

Steward unhelpful. Sadly :-( He didn't reply to my very politely asked questions regarding me getting off at the right stop - before Krung Thep/BKK. Think he knew and understod English allright, but did not reply to my Thai nor my English. He ONLY would inform of the next stop at some kind of village along the route. No service. But the new Chinese build train is great!

We did not have the option to choose the seats. If you book via thai railways you have the option. So we were placed far apart from each other. At the station we asked to be put together but they did not help us. The staff on the train was very helpful.

The food is not the best desicion to eat and the seats aren't very comfortable. But the stewardess was sweet and it was very interesting to see the landscape. You can see so much things because the railway goes directly through the mountains and some sweet little villages. Very interesting
