I did Bangkok to Butterworth in 2008, in a similar sleeper to those. Far better than the idea of sharing a compartment with a stranger, it didn't bother me at all, and there was no noise to worry about. I didn't get 9 hours sleep though, but waking at dawn and seeing the countryside waking up from the comfort of a bed was unforgettable

LOL, years ago I took the KTM from SIN to KL, the slowest journey!

[@lzh4950]

@@RUHappyATM Malaysia now promises to extend ETS from KL to JB by Apr 2025, cutting train journey times between the 2 cities by 2h to 3.5h. Then from JB there's the Tebrau shuttle train to SIN but you then need a bus connection to continue travelling to downtown SIN, which sometimes I heard is cancelled if the JB-SIN border crossing gets crowded. Come 2026 the Tebrau train will be replaced by a new RTS train but with a capacity of only 10000 ppl/hr I'm not sure if it'll be enough

[@harri2626]

Done this leg four times but only in the north-south direction. Twice in the 1980s with old fashioned, but preferable, non-aircon stock with a sleeper berth cabin, and at a slower speed. Back then, you had to change from the Thai sleeper to KTM day train in Butterworth, and the charm of using the old Hualampong and the original KL stations and right into Tanjong Pagar in Singapore made the journey seem more exotic. Also did it twice on the E&O which is crazy money, but worth every penny.

This is one of the best "traveling tourist" videos I ever had the pleasure to watch. Content - well researched - I never say perfect but this one is. The vlog is packed with information, presented by a person who has the talent and the voice to talk about facts entertainingly - and to top it off - filmed by somebody who has the talent of a visual artist. That includes the talent to use light like a brush, highlighting and amplifying the beauty of the objects he is focusing on - and on top of it picking the angle of view at which he is focusing on the object that is resulting in what we see. Perfection. Thank you.

[@TheOz91]

@@NonstopEurotrip We are a federal country, similar to that to Australia and the United States, so the states are states, with nine of those states being kingdoms with their own royal families.

[@lzh4950]

Interestingly 'province' in China translates as 省 but 'province' in Thailand translates as 府 (which also means 'prefacture'), maybe because Thailand's provinces are relatively smaller

[@jnhkz]

@@lzh4950 I'm Thai. Japan’s prefectures and Thailand’s provinces (จังหวัด, pronounce Jung Wud) are both primary administrative divisions with local governments handling administrative functions. However, there are key differences. Japan has 47 prefectures with elected governors and significant local autonomy. In contrast, Thailand has 76 provinces with governors appointed by the central government (except for Bangkok, where the governor is elected), resulting in more central control. Compared to states governing system, Japanese prefectures have similar autonomy, while Thai provinces are more centrally governed.

In 1970 I flew Bangkok to Chiang Mai in an unpressurized plane - the seats were folding chairs bolted to the floor. So I took an overnight train back from Chiang Mai to Bangkok and had an experience very similar to yours. Lower bunk and pleasant journey. Much more comfortable than the flight north!

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Wow that sounds like an experience 😂

Excellent video and very useful guide for first time travellers. I've used the SRT service from Padang Besar to Hua Hin A few years ago. Very enjoyable, I must say.

I took the padang besar to bangkok train in 2002, some 22 years ago, and the interior is exactly the same!!

[@paulw.woodring7304]

As an American I find it amazing that their trains run up to almost 90 mph on meter gauge track. Just slightly wider than our old 3 ft. narrow gauge from the 19th Century. Our narrow gauge trains averaged probably around 25 mph, and the preserved tourist ones never get much faster than that. I have seen video of full-size U. S. locomotives on meter gauge track in Brazil, but they seem to be limited to around 40 mph. Meter gauge trains in Switzerland, some of the best in the World, seem to max out around 50 mph.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

It's a little scary sometimes 👀

[@gan247]

The track on the Malaysian side (the northern section, as seen in this video) was completely rebuilt about 15 years ago. It was electrified, double-tracked, curves straightened, new foundation, new bridges, new ballast and concrete sleepers. Level crossings were removed and flyover/underpass for vehicles built. Before this, on the original track (at least 80-100 years old), passenger trains were hauled by locomotive like the Thai ones, and it could only run at about 60-80km/h (40-50mph). It ran slower than that in the northern section (as seen in this video ) because of the hilly areas in the section between Ipoh and Taiping. The central sections (KL+surrounding) were rebuilt back in the 1990s and the tracks are currently being rehabilitated. The southern route is being rebuilt like the central and northern sections and it’s expected to be completed next year. The east coast branch line was rehabilitated with concrete sleepers a few years ago. It remains single track and not electrified. On this branch line, CRRC-built DMUs could run up to a max 120km/h (75mph) (design max is 140km/h, 87mph).

[@paulw.woodring7304]

@@gan247 If they were going to go to that much trouble to rehab the line, why not rebuild it to standard gauge while they were at it, like Japan did when they built their high-speed lines in the 1960s?

[@gan247]

Two things: It costs too much money and there will be a lot of disruption on both passenger and freight services. The current upgrades were done as separate projects: Central sector (completed in 1995) Northern sector (2008 to Ipoh, 2014 to Thai border) Southern sector (2013 to Gemas junction, 2025 to Johor Bahru) East coast (2020). The Japanese did not upgrade their narrow gauge tracks for the bullet trains. The name Shinkansen literally means new line. An entirely new standard gauge track was built for the bullet train. Only 4251km of tracks in Japan are standard gauge. They have 22,300km of narrow gauge (1067mm, 3ft 6in) tracks.

@@gan247 I know what they did in the '60s, it just seems like it might have been worth it for Indonesia to do the same thing with their mainline.

I have traveled on KTM between KL Sentral and Butterworth on both older diesel loco-hauled train (in a car similar to those Thai sleepers from this video) when the electrification and modernization of the line was ongoing (I think it was in 2014) and the new ETS service (in 2016-2018). Also have ridden the commuter service between Butterworth and Padang Besar in 2018. Then traveled on SRT between Hat Yai and Bangkok (Hua Lampong) on a sleeper but my car was newer Chinese-built one. And on different local trains between Bangkok and Ayutthaya. Also traveled on different trains in Indonesia. Local trains in Jakarta area, Jakarta - Surabaya line via Semarang, Surabaya - Yogyakarta and some other lines.

Great video. A disadvantage of the upper bunks on the Thai sleeper is that they are right next to the air conditioning vents so they are extremely cold at night I have travelled on the 1st class Thai sleeper cabins also and they are superb. The restaurant car is good in the evenings as you can buy beer and they do proper cooked meals, often they take on a party atmosphere in evenings. I have also been on Vietnamese sleeper train which was nothing like as good as Thai sleeper train, though it was over a decade ago and may have improved.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Vietnam and Thailand sleepers are very similar with the exception of more luxury options in Vietnam

what a lovely baby bullet and an excellent premium product; the leg room looks amazing and entertainment screen a great bonus! (that woman yapping away loudly would have annoyed the bejeezuz outta me TBH) the 2nd class sleeper looked decent as well and your access to outside views is awesome - this trip was indeed an excellent value. curious: did it at all get warm in the car for you on the final leg given no A/C(?)

I did this trip 4 years ago in the reverse (Bangkok to Penang) and I remember 2nd class was still the old layout so wider seats/berths but no power and no luggage rack. It was a good enough trip but we ended up incurring delays that snowballed (I kinda knew it was gonna happen) to the point that when we arrived at Padang Besar, I had missed the connecting shuttle to Butterworth meaning I had a 3 hour wait at the border. If you wanna do this trip but cant be bothered to share your berth, you can always book the top bunk and use that to store luggage; the attendant will still lower the bunk and make it as a bed but its up to you how you want to use it.

In 2015 when KTM launched their Electric Train Service, i took it from KL Sentral to Alor Setar. It departed on time and arrived only 20 minutes late, which was quite something.

Comfiest bed and cabin ? Single cabin night trains from Oslo-Kristiansand-Stavanger. If youre not going longer than Kristiansand which arrives at around 2 AM they uncouple the whole wagon and you can stay there until 7:30 in the morning .

The train is a nice idea, but not recommended if you are very tall. I've done the second class sleeper from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and got bad leg cramps from the short bed.

And the last 2 hours from 6 am untill 8 arriving at chang mai were the moments with the best vieuws ever. Amazing landscape on slow speed, the smell of the moisty morning jungle. I can still smell it. And we payed the 185 bath for the trip and 40 bath for the bunk.

Could you provide a link to the Website you mention @7:15? I tried what I thought was the correct website but the destination Bangkok didn't show

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Sorry for the delay: the website is online.ktmb.com.my/

[@NonstopEurotrip]

You have to book the Malaysian and Thai trains separately, as stated

[@malaneru7147]

That old KTM station (Kuala Lumpur railway station), near the main mosque is the oddest station. Blink, you will miss it from the main road!

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Absolutely!

The SRT train conditions and nuance seems like in Indonesia 10-15 years ago, but KAI can learn to make proper sleep coach

[@NonstopEurotrip]

They definitely need this 💯

[@boweandrew3]

There should be a video about the passenger trains of Australia and Myanmar Burma

[@NonstopEurotrip]

One's boring and the other isn't possible rn

The Ghan and Indian Pacific trains in Australia are great

[@ironbark88]

Did this trip. Great adventure.

[@RR-bc6wy]

I took the same trip in 2023 but in the opposite direction. And also while you're in Padang Besar is the footbridge to the city center still closed?

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Idk I didn't use it tbh

[@indian2003]

Remember to take along winter jackets and boots on the train from KL to Butterworth. The AC is on full blast and the temperature inside was 17! degrees Celcius. I asked if they could turn it down but was told that everybody liked it. That was my last train trip in Malaysia.

[@fauzanriez9472]

17°C is hardly winter. Maybe a jumper or a sweater would help but you won't need winter jackets.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Not necessary

[@JoaoPalhinha9]

I'd love it if you did a review of Spirit of the Outback train Longreach to Brisbane Australia

4:54 are there many native Japanese speaker in Malaysia, that it has katakana on the signage?

[@SyahmiAsyraffYT]

Not really. Iirc, these Japanese signages in KL Sentral (and KLIA Terminal 1) are there as a homage to the Japanese firm behind the building's design, Kisho Kurokawa and Associates.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Interesting!!!

[@Balangair1]

Not really sure there, but there was a time the Japanese were the majority of tourists arriving in M'sia. Even public announcements were in Japanese aside from Malay and English! Nowadays it is Mandarin aside from Malay and English.

One thing I don't like about KTM First class seat, is the unmovable armrest so it make the single seater seat narrow and uncomfortable.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Never bothered me tbh
