BANGKOK to CHON BURI train classes reviews

Seater fares

Seater fares suit budget travelers, day‑trippers, or anyone who prefers being upright with a view. Air‑conditioned cars have reclining seats, overhead racks. Fan cars are the cheapest but can be hot and noisy midday; they’re more bearable on cooler days or overnight runs.

• Best for: Shorter legs, tight budgets, short trips, travelers who value scenery over sleep.

Second class seat (AC)

Second class AC seats are reserved, air-conditioned, and noticeably quieter than fan coaches. You get reclining seats, overhead luggage racks, and a calmer carriage, good for working, reading, or a daytime ride.

Review
Pros	Air‑conditioned comfort: Cooler, quieter cabin for long daytime trips. Reclining seats: More ergonomic seating with decent legroom. Predictability: Reserved seating and calmer vibe help you get work done.
Cons	Higher price than fan: Costs more than non‑A/C options. Cooler temps: Can feel cold under the vents; bring a light layer. Less breeze/scenery: Sealed windows mean no open‑air views.
Tips to cope	Layer up: Pack a light jacket or scarf in case the A/C runs cold. Seat selection: Avoid seats directly under vents if you run cold. Productivity setup: Bring a small power bank; tables are fine for a laptop.
Baggage allowance	40 kg (88 lbs)
Price	Starting at US$ 5.23

What to Pack Before Embarking?

• Blanket or Warm Clothes: AC on Thai trains can be powerful! Pack a light blanket, shawl, cardigan, or a warm pair of socks to stay comfortable, especially on overnight journeys.

• Snacks and Drinks are Key: While some trains have vendors or dining cars, it's always a good idea to bring your own snacks and drinks, especially for longer journeys. This ensures you have something you like on hand and can save money.

• Eye Mask and Earplugs: Even if you're not planning on sleeping, these can be incredibly helpful for blocking out light and noise, especially on overnight trains or in busier carriages.

• Portable Charger: Outlets can be unreliable or unavailable on some trains. A fully charged portable charger will keep your devices running, so you can stay entertained or keep in touch.

• Download Entertainment: Load up your phone or tablet with movies, music, or e-books before you go. Wi-Fi isn't always available or reliable on Thai trains.

• Small Padlock: If you're traveling with luggage on an overnight train, a small padlock can secure your bag to the overhead rack or luggage storage area for added peace of mind.

• Wet Wipes or Hand Sanitizer: These are useful for freshening up, especially if you're traveling in a shared compartment or after eating.

• Check the Train Schedule in Advance: Double-check the train schedule and platform information at the station, as delays or changes can occur.

• Be Prepared for Mosquitos: Especially on trains that stop in more rural areas or have open windows, mosquitos can be a nuisance. Insect repellent can be a lifesaver.
