sleeper

i,ve travelled to udon on the sleeper train from bkk a couple of times and found it comfortable and got a good nights sleep before i got to udon paid about 1200bt

Wow stokie, you must be very thin then, I got the train from surat thani to bangkok and it was the most hellish ride ive ever had, hardly a sleeper, more like a "waker"

Me and the missus needed a sleep after out sleep, i regret not getting the bus

1200 is also pretty steep when u can fly with air asia for a standard 1500 or so (i got a ticket last month for only 730baht) and the bus, which is only about 400

we all like different things i guess but i wont get a train in Thailand again in a hurry

maybe i was just lucky,i done train,bus plane and taxi,it just depends on what i fancy when the time comes and it gives you the chance to meet different people/i done sleeper 3 times and no complaints,do you know if there is a train from bkk to udon in the daytime?if so you got any details.

From what i can see here http://www.railway.co.th/English/Time_HTML.asp
There is one at 8.20am from Bangkok which is second class only... It takes a whopping ten hours to get to Udon, which is about the same as the slow bus and about two hours more than the "we dont stop in many places" bus...

thanks tya,i will decide wen i get there..
