The quickest way to travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai Thailand is to take one of the dozens of daily flights that can cost as little as $30 (1,100THB) but is it the BEST way to travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai?

We decided to book a first class private cabin on train number 13 to find out if taking the overnight sleeper train from Bangkok Thailand's new Bang Sue Grand Station to Chiang Mai is still worth it in 2023.

Which overnight train is best from Bangkok to Chiang Mai?
The newest sleeper train is "Number 9" which departs Bangkok Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal at 18:40. The first class cabins on train number 9 look beautiful, but unfortunately it was fully booked when we were travelling so we booked train "Number 13" which departs at 20:05

How long is the journey from Bangkok to Chiang Mai?
The train left promptly at 20:05 and arrived in Chiang Mai around 08:45. Sometimes there can be delays but it should take less than 13 hours in total.
