Most trains to the south of Thailand leave by night. Trains usually leave right on schedule so be sure to board in time. The night trains are safe and clean and even though they might not be as luxurious as you might experience in western countries, they are quite comfortable so you can expect a good night sleep on your travels. Sleeper seats are available in air conditioned and fan carriages.
