Hi welcome to my Chumphon To Bangkok In 10 Hours 3rd Class/Accommodation vlog. I set off today on a mammoth 10 hour journey back on the classic 3rd class train. Chumphon is so far from Bangkok and with 80 stops on the way it made it a very long trip.
I'll take you through all of my experience with the costs included plus my accommodation in Bangkok. Quick spoiler alert i never thought it would be so hard i haven't done this far in a longtime.
I really hope you enjoy my Chumphon To Bangkok In 10 Hours 3rd Class/Accommodation. If so please Like, Subscribe and Share with anyone you think might be interested in my content. Thank You.
If you would like to support my adventures in order to bring more content, your help would be greatly appreciated❤️

Well done , Richy. Delighted to hear all is going so well . I am slightly surprised you didn't give Malaysia another chance for your visa run . It's a long, long way up to Nong Khai and Laos .But it is a great route . Enjoy the Beer Lao -- what a brew !

Christ being 65 this year growing up in London and going to loads of footy matches via the train regardless of class you feared for your life at times, especially West Ham, Millwall, Charlton...hell train rides in the USA back in NY in 80s bloody hell!

Hi Richy! Do you ever see many actually working on the high-speed rail infrastructure? I just keep seeing the basics of the line and track, but nobody really working on them? Wow, those brakes need some oil on the third class train 🤣 Shame to ride on past Petchaburi - such a lovely town. Hope you get back there at some time in the future. 10 hours on those seats, and my arse would be dead, too! 🤣 The race is on to get out of the country!

@ParkinsonRaw 4 ай бұрын

Thanks Greg I’m now relaxing in Laos, I will definitely be returning to Phetchaburi and many more places. I’ve been doing a reconnaissance on sights. Thailand is so big and I’m slowly getting the best destinations to return too. The high speed railway is not good in my opinion, they have got a lot of investment I think probably from China and that will never be good in the long run. It’s quickly ruining it’s character mate

Laos is a preserved version of thailand, you can speak thai there, thai and laos people consider each other family. Its the best option of all thailands neighbours but it wont be immediately apparant to a novice, and is fortunately overlooked. Ive been in thailand 20 years and hope to transition to laos in future.

are you sure ,80 baht for Chumphon to BKK ?,maybe one of those special promotion tickets for the locals on the average wage under 400 baht a day Everywhere stunning scenery and those neat and tidy railway stations ,see ,I can be positive about LOS I can't believe why 3rd class was so crowded

@ParkinsonRaw 4 ай бұрын

It was so crowded because it was 80baht, I’m always extremely sure about my prices Ian

@timwalker2458 4 ай бұрын

80 baht for adults. 40 baht for kids. SRT website. All prices for all trains are on there..

@ParkinsonRaw 4 ай бұрын

It’s because it was the ordinary train Tim, 80 stops. The rapid train is 3/4 times the price.

@timwalker2458 4 ай бұрын

@ParkinsonRaw yep, I'm aware how it works. So of the prices on the website give you the option of 2nd or 3rd class. Try and book it and you can't. They are all 3rd class trains. Some of the 2nd class carriages are far better than some others.

I got a visa exemption, extended it for month while I was there. Then I went to Malaysia for a week and flew back to Thailand and did the same process. After that Cambodia for a month, then to Vietnam for five weeks. Flew back to Thailand and did the same as I said at the start visa exemption and extension. When that expired I went to Malaysia for a few days and again the same process.
