I'm on the "Express" night train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. It's only 7:20 and the staff has made all our beds. Big black dark night window. Rocking train. Heaven.

I got the recommended lower bunk and so glad I did.  I have a huge window on my left, while the top bunk has just the train wall.  I'm so bummed I forgot to bring anything to load photos into my computer with.  So all that will have to wait until I get back to Chiang Mai.

I put off buying my return train ticket, in case it wasn't a pleasant experience.  But I love it!  So I'm coming back this way for sure.
