Today when I travel Bangkok I will go travel Thailand on the train going from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. This is really a cool way to travel because you get to see most of the Thailand country side. Most trains leave about 3:30PM. Don’t forget to get a first class sleeper. It’s about $40 dollars and it’s well worth it. If you get a 2nd class sleeper you will go to bed when the other person is ready and this can be kind of bothersome. So, spring for the first class sleeper. When the train starts to head out, work your way up to the dinner car. That is where you can get some food and drink a beer while doing some site seeking.

Now, when it’s time for you to go to sleep, simply just let the attendant know and he will setup your bed for you. Breakfast is served in the dinner car or you can simply pick from a dish that is precooked and walked down the isles of the train. This is a great way to travel Bangkok and travel Thailand for that matter.
