The trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Thailand, can be a unique experience when you travel by train. We chose the First Class luxury overnight cabin (you actually buy 2 separate tickets). This is the most complete and detailed guide with everything you need to know in advance.
In this vlog, you'll see the new train in Thailand, the Special Express, more modern and convenient. The departure is from Hua Lamphong train station at 6:10 PM. This is the fastest sleeper train, and the trip takes 13 hours. Learn how to get to Chiang Mai by train! Or go from Chiang Mai to Bangkok 😉

► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and he's actually camera-shy, that's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉
