Most people travelling on this train will opt for the most comfortable coaches, the "Day and Night" carriages.
On this service you get a choice of fan or air-conditioned sleeper carriages.
The cheaper fan cooled carriages are quite popular as some people find the air-conditioning too cold on Thai trains.
However, if you are travelling during the really hot months of March, April and May, you may want to pay the extra for A/C.
2nd class seat carriages have quite comfortable reclining seats, but for this long overnight journey, it is well worth paying more to get a bed.
3rd class carriages are okay for shorter journeys, but for this long haul to Bangkok, we would not recommend it, unless you are on a really tight budget.
