It takes about 12 hours from Bangkok to Surat Thani by train.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But the train is much more convenient than the bus which would take 10 hours. The reason is, that there are trains with sleeper cabinets with air conditioners (You can search on Google for more pictures, how what it looks like).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But I would like to inform you first that the train platform in Thailand is not so smooth, it can make a bit of noise or shake you while you are sleeping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You won\u2019t have a deep sleep like at home for sure, but at least you can lay with your straight back position entire these 12 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While traveling by bus, you can sleep only in the sitting position. Tough, the seat can be inclined backward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> But since there are people sitting behind, it is still sleeping in a sitting position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you want to experience the train in Thailand and choose this travel option, firstly let\u2019s know about trains in Thailand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are several trains from Bangkok to Surat Thani (Samui belongs to Surat Thani Province). The trains that have sleepers are<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The rapid train and<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The express train and<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Special express train<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These have slightly less time consumption and better features from 1 \u2013 3 respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A common train consists of several classes or cabinet types as below<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Air-conditioned 1<sup>st<\/sup> class: sleeper<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Air-conditioned 2<sup>nd<\/sup> class: sleeper<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Air-conditioned 2<sup>nd<\/sup> class<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3rd class: fan, Seat cannot be inclined.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, types (c) and (d) would be fine for less than a 1 or 3-hour route.

There is only a small chance that the cabinet is not full.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Because many people even the local Thai people love to choose a 1<sup>st<\/sup> or 2<sup>nd<\/sup> (sleeper) class because of its convenience when they travel about 10 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> And these kinds of trains depart only 3 \u2013 4 times a day.
