The next best option is to take a bus from Hat Yai Bus Station to the Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok or you could take a minivan, but this a long trip in a fairly cramped van, so we would not recommend travel by minivan.
3rd and 2nd class seats area available in fan cooled carriages.
The 3rd class carriages can get quite crowded and not recommended for this long overnight trip (unless you are a really tight budget).
2nd class seats offer more comfort (they recline) so are much easier to get some sleep on.
The 2nd and 1st class Day and Night carriages offer much more comfort as the seats are turned in to beds soon after the train leaves Hat Yai.
Some people find the air-conditioning too cold, so bring something warm to wear (you do get a blanket, but sometimes that's not enough to keep you warm).
Tickets for the route are available up to 90 days ahead.
