Train 13 has slightly different carriages than the rest of the trains in Thailand, as it operates with mainly JR West (Japanese Railways) coaches, which are a little bit more luxurious than the normal sleeper train carriages used by Thai Railways, with the upper berth in Second class slightly more spacious than the normal trains.
