Head to https://squarespace.com/trektrendy to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code TREKTRENDY Join me today onboard the Jungle express in First Class from Chiang Mai all the way down to Bangkok. The journey will take around 13 hours covering close to 500 miles - it will give me the chance to show you all the features of this new sleeper train. There are two levels of service offered, Second Class sleepers and First Class sleeper cabins. Only First cabins have access to showers of which I'll try out and let you know my thoughts. This train has quite a famed dining car... but you'll find out why food today is well, quite non existent. I'll also break down the cost for this adventure - which may surprise you given the cost of similar overnight trains in Europe or indeed Amtrak in the USA. As always with my trip reports and reviews, do let me know what you think - is this a rail journey you'd like to take? 0:00 - Intro 1:00 - Chiang Mai Station 3:30 - 2nd Class 4:43 - 1st Class 6:45- Bedtime 9:00 - The Shower 10:48- The Top Bunk 11:41 - Bangkok Station
