To purchase a first-class train ticket from Bangkok (BKK) to Chiang Mai (CMU), you can book online through BusOnlineTicket Thailand, 12Go, or Baolau. First-class tickets offer a private cabin for two people, though you may share with another passenger if traveling solo, and include a sink, though not a private bathroom.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Booking Options:
Several platforms allow online booking, including BusOnlineTicket Thailand, 12Go, and Baolau.
First-Class Details:
First-class sleeper tickets typically offer private cabins for two people, with a sink inside the cabin and access to a shared shower with hot water in the corridor.
Sleeper Options:
First-class tickets offer a private sleeping compartment. You can choose from single or double berth options.
Second-Class Options:
For a more budget-friendly option, Inwanderment recommends considering second-class air-conditioned sleeper tickets, which offer a comfortable and unique experience at a lower price.
Booking in Advance:
It’s recommended to book your tickets in advance, especially for first-class sleepers, as they tend to sell out quickly, particularly during peak periods like New Year and Songkran.
Train Times:
Several trains operate between Bangkok and Chiang Mai, with different departure times and train types. Popular overnight trains depart at 18:40 and 20:05, with a journey time of about 12 hours and 35 minutes.

love it – we had such fun travelling by train.
A friend of mine from Switzerland asked for taking the Train from BKK to CM, but wants to go first class – any ideas how she can get a ticket? 🙂
