tonight we're going on one of the newest overnight trains here in thailand
last time we went on an overnight train you guys roasted us in the
comments because apparently we booked an old one so tonight we have booked
a first class private cabin on the newest train we could find so let's hope we got it right
it's 10 p.m and we are here at suratani railway station and today we're going on this train to
hua hin last time we took an overnight sleeper train here in thailand we did not sleep a wink
probably only slept about two hours i don't think i got any actual sleep so just in case we sleep
horribly on this train we've booked a really nice hotel once we arrive due to protocols we're
allowed to stay here so we have to go on a hunt to find somewhere else to stay now now we've just
got to wait patiently for the train to arrive and then we'll show you exactly what it's like
okay so the train has arrived and i guess now's the time that
we find out whether if the beds are up or not because it's half past 10.
this train definitely looks newer question is that we're going to be able to fit through the wi-fi
let's go oh wow oh yeah oh yeah i fit through the doors this time
okay oh there's a touchscreen please
they're not going to need them for a while no
laptop can go on top because i think i'm going to take the top bunk again
and we got
that in there
i think it's slightly bigger than the it is
and the door was definitely bigger because last time we both got kind of stuck trying to get in
i can't
but this time we just kind of slid right through so that's good
one of the reasons that i slept so horribly on the older train was that it was actually
freezing when we first got on there we were like it's got air conditioning like this is
so luxurious and then i could literally not feel my body on that because it was so cold
yeah so i think we're gonna have to they pump these on yeah every time you come out so let's
let's close though straight away yeah better and what does that one do i think that just
angles it oh yeah do that okay great so already already i cannot feel icy wind like freezing my
eyeballs off so that's a bonus and i have to say i mean i was really excited about
this one because i've seen pictures of this newer train and it's like this hot pink sofa obviously
the beds are put up so what we might be able to do is try to sneak into one of the unused cabins
if there are any unused cabins and just show you guys what it looks like when the beds aren't made
oh yeah sport cap is even a tv
this is not too loud not that that makes it a lot quieter it is a train so it's gonna be loud
but we're now two doors over from our little cabin because they've made our beds you can't really see
what it looks like but this is what it looks like when the beds aren't made which is actually so
fancy feels like an airplane doesn't it i mean i have to say these are look at that make a little
arm rest i think it's like oh yeah i thought you meant that this is not how it's on the tv then um
it's actually tv so it tells you information and where you are um are they oh wait that
just changed the channel tells you the temperature outside temperature inside
what the next station is is this oh i was gonna say is this on this train right now i don't think
so but okay so there's a little bit of in-flight entertainment this big one is what folds down to
give you the top bunk and then this one i don't even know how but it converts to the bottom bank i
don't know we'll have to check if they remove this i don't even know what happened to it but anyway
it's actually kind of similar to the one we stayed in last time but just better it still
has the sink but it looks a little bit neater it has a little like medicine cabinet so that's
nice a pretty good mirror i just noticed that here you have your controls for the tv so if you're so
if you're in bed you can connect your headphones here and then you can change the channel oh cool
i think it's definitely an improvement on the other one and i can see why everyone was that
we should go on this train because it is so much better i mean it's still bumpy and loud like the
old train that could be due to the tracks um but i think maybe we'll sleep a bit better just because
we know we're on a nicer train yeah but we'll have to wait and see there's even a peephole
this is quite nice i mean not that the old train that we stayed on felt unsafe in any
way it was nice because we had a first-class cabin we still had our door that you could lock
but this one you've got a little peephole because the other train i don't know if you guys
remember but there was a big window right here with curtains so a lot of people could look into
your cabin but here no one can see into your cabin unless they're outside of the train and we're
going so fast it doesn't really matter anyway and you could still if you were next to your friend
you could open this one as well but yeah we're all alone we're all alone i think there's not that
many people staying in the first class section of this train currently because this is empty i think
a lot of them are empty the one next to us just had one of the conductors chilling in there so
yeah the price of this train ticket is actually pretty much exactly the same as the price of the
older train ticket so whether you're getting first class in this train or first class in that train
it doesn't really make a difference financially exactly so this is number 32 train now i don't
know if the numbers change but i would assume that 32 is always this one and it's always the
newer one so if you are booking an overnight train in thailand the cabin that we are in is a
first class cabin but there is also second class sleepers as well which are pretty much the same
but they don't get their own private cabin so i'm just going to show you here so walk through here
i'm gonna try and be quiet but yeah there's just plants on either side but they're all
private because they've got their own curtain and i've slept all of these before and it's not
bad this train is definitely nice to kind of chill in because even though the beds are down
now we can go a little backrest here there's a table here where we can uh watch you know put
the ipad on put some drinks on there but i have to say this train is so much louder than the um
the last chain we went on i don't know if you can hear that now through the video but it's
so loud we must be on on a wheel or something it's uh it's not looking good for um our sleep
you guys may be wondering why we're going to hua hin well we've been wanting to go to hohen
for a while we tried to go back in may but all the restrictions meant that we couldn't
um we've got tickets for a water pack that we really wanted to go for and couldn't last
time because of the restrictions and it's just somewhere that neither of us have been to so
we are really excited to go there and i've heard really good things about it and we want to check
it off the list so on the last train a lot of things didn't work but the light works on this one
have you tried these buttons press the power on that one
yeah you're not watching any more tv last time the staircase was so like
just wobbly and everything so let's see how sturdy this is i mean it looks quite solid so
oh
oh yeah are these pillows like have you tested them already
not bad it's a bit short for you you've broken the tv
the tvs don't come back on now sorry
no tv for us definitely less headroom i could sit upright in the last video
i can definitely not sit up right here but i think rather than having all of the space up here
i think there's more space down there this time because i think last time we couldn't sit straight
in the lower cabin and now we can sit and chill down there i do not want to chill up here this is
not not that's not a baby yeah at all it's a lot cozier than we're at let's see how it is to come
down easy it's getting late here now it's half past 11. this train didn't
leave sunatani until half past 10. we're gonna just chill here watch some netflix wind down
a little bit before we try and go to sleep hopefully we'll sleep a lot better than we
did last time when we went on the other train because you all know how that went
uh but it is quite loud in here so we'll see how that goes we'll let you know in the morning
mighty
good morning from what i assume is just outside of hua hin it is 5 30 in the morning we are about
20 minutes off from arriving i actually slept really well we brought earplugs this time which
was a definite winner because the night was a little bit of a loud one but i slept really
really well what about you oh i actually slept about four or five hours okay yeah so
not too bad that's bad but yeah the earbuds definitely helped this time around um but not
pretty good yeah i i don't know if it's the fact that it's a newer train or we knew what to expect
this time so maybe we just like prepared our but it wasn't freezing cold in here i have to say that
it was quite i did wear my other jumper as if it was a pair of trousers so i was prepared also but
yeah i was comfortable i was snoozing when my alarm went off i was like no no
i want to sleep more i'm fairly certain that they'll probably show up at any second now and
maybe take our beds away um usually that's well that's what happened last time they
came and like undid the beds and made them into seats again just before we arrived
okay so what was meant to be us staying here at the hilton in hua hin has turned
into us being turned away because uh we have no not had the jab uh unfortunately so due to
protocols we're not staying here so we have to go on a hunt to find somewhere else to stay now
yeah and it's six o'clock in the morning so wish us luck okay so after all that we found
a hotel to stay in a few few minutes down the road from the hilton it's a bit unfortunate
really we did check if we were allowed to on the you know the booking app and it did say
you know just check the protocols and stuff and we haven't had any issues with going to any hotels in
the past now we're coming from an orange zone so we think we thought we would be okay but
it doesn't matter we're here now we found a pretty nice hotel here we have the the bathroom
the sink toilet and a pretty large shower and a pretty fun window here where you can look
into the living room in the living room we have a machusiv tv and it's nice it's a little desk
there is a balcony that just faces the pool which is quite nice as well
and then the main thing that we wanted as a comfortable bed we did sleep on the train so
i feel like i'm not extremely exhausted within a few hours but it is seven in the morning so
i think we're gonna get a little bit more of a snooze so let's try this bad boy out
oh it's gonna be better than the train bed right yeah oh okay yeah now this is nice
oh let's go with highlights later oh you want a cloud yeah
oh that's nice so if you've enjoyed this video of us riding the train then make sure to click
