Don Muang to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

SB
I clicked on the 'tomorrow' tab for the flight, but it musn''t have registered as the confirmation email was for a flight for the same day i made the booking. I couldn't find a contact or edit facilities to rectify the error so lost the money.

Really good other than being near the toilets which was quite loud and smelly

14 hours straight to spend times on train without any break for food or smoking. Toilets should be changed. Not a comfortable space to use for WC.

Overall better than expected. I took the overnight train in May, the temperature hits 40x but it is cooler in the night, so the fan and open windows made a little differences. Toilet was okay and drinks were offered a couple of times throughout the journey. The seats not super comfortable and the light stays on, other than that-value for the money.

The seat was comfortable the blanket cozy and the ride was smooth as hell. 30 minute food break in the middle (food included with ticket) and most of the time either watching a show or sleeping on my way to Chaing Mai.
