Train From Chiang Mai to Bangkok

A sleeper train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok is a great way to travel between these two popular destinations in Thailand. It's a long journey, taking around 12 hours, but it's a comfortable and scenic way to do it.

The train has a variety of sleeper cabins to choose from, including first-class cabins with private bathrooms and air-conditioning and second-class cabins with shared bathrooms and fans. You can also opt for a seat in a regular coach if you prefer.

The train usually leaves Chiang Mai in the evening and arrives in Bangkok the next morning. This means you can save a night's accommodation costs and make the most of your time. Plus, you'll get to wake up in a new place and start exploring right away.

During the journey, the train will pass through some beautiful Thai countryside. You'll see lush green hills, rice paddies, and small villages. It's a great chance to get a glimpse of authentic Thai life.

One thing to keep in mind is that the train can be quite popular, especially during peak travel seasons, so it's best to book in advance. Also, the train can be a bit slow, so it might not be the best option if you're short on time. But all in all, the sleeper train is a great experience and definitely worth considering if you're traveling between Chiang Mai and Bangkok.

After arriving in Bangkok at 5 am, I took a taxi and arrived in Pattaya an hour later. More photos to follow tomorrow.
