I do love your positive attitude about the immigration check. I for once, can't stand against authority flexing their power just to make a point. Just so you know, Malaysia - Thailand border is notorious for smuggling activities. Every year, assassin (yes for real), human trafficking, drug, weapon and etc cross the border unchecked and unstopped. The officer attitude is a bit stingy but I know what he have been through. Forgive and forget is a big thing.
I agree but there is always a context to every story, if you were there, you would not have seen a diligent border guard checking suspicious Luggage, I had 8 inch chef knife and set in the case that he didn't even look at. What you would have seen was Lazy Supervisor trying to look like the Boss in front of his Juniors, the clip you saw was just a fraction of his pompous manner but like you say, it's just best to let it roll, everyone has a bad day, I hope his next was somewhat better.. :)
EXCELLENT video. I'm sold on the first class sleep - on my pat malone! I think even for the extra few bob to be one-up is still a worthwhile investment!
Thanks, Steve for taking us thru such a wonderful train journey from Thailand to Malaysia from the comfort of our home, you are truly a thorough Gentleman. God bless you. kind regards for what all u have done for us.
I still remember how I did this trip from KL to Bangkok two years ago. I travelled from KL to Butterworth from KTM train and stayed in Penang island 1 night. Next day crossed the border by Van and reached Hat Yai railway station where I stayed few hours at The Train Hotel until my second class sleeper train arrives at 6 PM. Then had a comfortable over night sleep and reached Bangkok next day morning. That was an exciting trip. You have done a great video!! Thanks for uploading- Nilan
Welcome to Malaysia, Steve. The moment i listened to your accent. I travelled back to past time i recalled my six months in Australia ( in the year 1988 ). Good day Mate. Gidday mate. I enjoyed your coverage. Excellent. Thank you Steve. I subscribe and thumbs up.
im glad the custom officers were doing their job, you know people smuggled illegal goods from thailand into malaysia the most, we need stricter border control!
from what depicted in the video, that's what they did, and they didnt ask u for any favour right?of course they could have been much friendlier but sometimes we should also be reasonable and not expect ppl to treat us like royalties
Steve's Kitchen just because they check ur baggage n u think they trying to be snooby ur wrong come to LA their custom are far more racist n rude So just dont complain abt Malaysia custom
Who pays their Salary? You weren't there and can't know if I am right or wrong but you chose to stand 100% in a position of Authority on the subject with less than 3% of the knowledge, how do you think that sounds? Should you listen to someone that has a strong opinion of something they know little about?
You touched one of my passions, Steve. Railroads. I spent a number of my younger years as an American railroad brakeman and have worked thousands of miles of both passenger and freight service. I'm ever fascinated by this mode of transport. According to Wiki, Malaysia and Thailand use meter gauge (1000 mm between rails) making it smaller than standard gauge (1435 mm). Standard is used in the UK, US and Australia (except for Australian High Speed). Did you notice a "rougher" ride on the narrower gauge? The wider gauge should provide greater stability. After standard gauge (55% of the world) comes Broad or Russian gauge (1500 mm) used on the Trans Siberian Railway. I would love to see you explore the Transib and the food of Mother Russia! I believe it's about a three-week journey across the entire distance from Vladivostok to Moscow. Keep traveling! Probably have to bring warmer clothing! LOL
Fascinating Insight Milan and yes the ride is a more Rock and Roll Experience than the wider gauge for sure. Like you, I love train travel, I want to ride the Ghan on the Great Souther Rail here in Oz, it's a mighty fine journey. Hopefully I will show you it.. No Plans but it will happen one day.. :o) I must get you to watch this Video of mine Milan and tell me what you think ruclips.net/video/KwDFwEXdpHw/видео.html
Milan you inspired me to take a look at past Train Journeys on the Channel and I decided to make a little play list.. bit.ly/Train-Journeys I didn't realise I had filmed 5 train journey to date.. I surprise myself.. :) Thank you buddy.
southeast asia mainland rail are all using meter gauge. it has disadvantages because of the narrow length between wheels. but it is too expensive to change the whole gauge size to standard size that is why we still using it. that electric train in malaysia is the meter gauge fastest train in the world although it can't be categorised as high speed train because max speed is under 200km/h. as a part of trans asian railway project which involves singapore, malaysia, thailand, myanmar, cambodia, laos, vietnam and china so it is more economical to use the existing and upgrade the line rather than build a new system. as in malaysia, although the main line is meter gauge, new rail line project are more likely to be standard size such as the new east coast railway where this project is totally a new line. it is more economical and easier to choose train using standard gauge for anew line because most rail system in the world are using standard gauge.
Sir, nowadays the Thai train Nos. 45 or 46 don't sell First class sleeper any more, it is even not listed on the price list and the service available section of the website, sad. The most comfortable for my aged granny is only the 2nd class sleeper...
bit.ly/Train-Journeys For those of you who love the Railways, you might like to check out these Journeys on Steve's Travels, don't forget to say Hi.. Choo Choo!! 🚂
Omfg I'm actually laughing. Here I am watching videos about trains around the world and then the Mornington tracks came and I'm like wait what I live near there did I click on the wrong video?? Hilarious actually seeing that out of the blue wasn't it expecting that at all 😂😂
That was a Loverly trip Steve & Michele, it's so pretty there. I Love train 🚅 trips too, sadly our trains are no where near as clean & tidy as those ones. 😞 The abandoned station in Australia, would have been turned into a restaurant by now, if it was in the UK. LOL. Some have become Pubs too. Thanks for sharing. Take care. ❤🙂🐶
Steve's Kitchen It's sad isn't it, when they're abandoned like that, whatever it becomes it's better than just leaving it, I suppose. Take care Steve. ❤🙂🐶
namaste steve sir i'm your new subsciber and i love your vlog very informative its sad you faced some difficultiy at border check point they just doing theire duty i hope u forgive them i enjoyed alote keep it up have a good day
When you see someone doing their Duty, you instinctively know they are doing so, when you see a boss trying to be silly to prove his power, it is also very easy to spot. This guy was NOT doing his job, that I guarantee you. but you can feel as you wish. I cross hundreds of borders and have seen good people doing their work, this was not that instance but you had to be there to see for yourself.. I don't share criticism lightly, it takes a great deal for me to do so.. Why do you feel the need to protect people, for which you pay their salary, to do a service for the Public, if a politician, police officer or border guard who is paid out of your tax money doesn't do what they should, don't excuse them, that is the way rot sets in.. His Home, his Car, his Children's Tuition and the food on his table is all paid for from your taxes and you should expect him to make reasonable effort to police the border and in the meantime pay respect to those that abide by the rules not try to flex his power to pretend he is in someway better than you. Sorry but I do feel strongly about this.. They did not search my Bags, I would say 100% they were making a point, Michele happened to ask them to be careful with an item which was Fragile and rather than be polite they then decided to open every bag and fawn through the items and try to make us as uncomfortable as possible, with very smug smiles and rude chatter amongst themselves, sadly for them I understand some of their obnoxious comments and I just smiled and let them get on with it. They never really showed any interest in the contents other than to be obstructive and slow and rude.... People like that should not have their jobs, the rot needs to be exposed and fixed.
Ya i also aboarded this train some foreigners from KL to Bangkok using newest version than this train i think they are French since I saw their backpackers with tiny national flag at their back
Good day sir! Very nice video! I wonder though is the route Morning time in KL Sentral to Lunchtime in Padang Besar then Evening time to Bangkok arriving the ff day? Thank you! God bless!
Hi Steve, what is the name of the first class sleeper train for your Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur journey? I am travelling with a 7yo kid and a 71yo mom, so I need a comfortable ride for them. Our flight is on Oct 23rd, I hope you can give us the information the soonest. Thanks!
hi, just watched your videos....very interesting...i am just curious...i thought we can't take any photos and videos when go through immigration....how did they allow you guys to take a videos?
The thing is, when you point your camera at someone their attitude often changes as it goes “on the record”. This is particularly prominent with officials in most of Asia where things are normally taken by more unofficial and relaxed manner.
Hi Steve, just curious, did u encounter any problems filming at the immigration and baggage check area? i saw a woman getting shouted at for taking photos on her phone at the Malaysian immigration line a few months back.
Asmawi, the border/immigration official -in Padang Besar, Malaysia just did his job- to ensure that tourist did not bring drug into the country....no need to be offended. Nice train trip report - thanks
If you think so. I saw a power crazed child, who frankly couldn't have cared less if he did his job. I have good evidence of this but if you choose to respect this poor ethic, I can fully encourage you.. Thanks..

Kapunka Steve for this nice video,i like this english dialect :)
Lovely video. You gave me quite a shock when you came to check up on me 😂 Didn’t knew you had such troubles crossing the border? I went straight through. Fun to see myself from “back then”. A lot have happened since! Take care 🙏
So much has happened, hasn't it buddy, what a great adventure life is... I have been watching your Journey and I saw you were back in KL in the same building.... Great Bike ride by the way.. All the best, till we meet again.. Steve and Michele
from thailand to Malaysia by train? thailand has border with cambodia, lao, vietnam, Myanmar, and china......if from thailand to malaysia have to across ocean or sea. so how is a train connection?
Wow! That is some pretty poor Geography you are sharing their buddy? The Land border between Thailand and Malaysia, pre dates anyone that is likely to be alive today, so I can't excuse your statement and you want to tell us where you can cross from China directly into Thailand by land.. or Vietnam for that matter ??
It is surprising that in the internet age, you are so ignorant on the location of these countries?? Any easy online map will answer all your questions.
How odd you should think so.. No offence either. They are paid very good money from Taxes paid by the "public" and they are servants of the public, whom pay their wages. Public meaning you and I and any one else that pays tax into that countries system. As such, they owe a duty of respect to all but people that break the laws they protect, nothing more nothing less. Their job is to protect a beautiful country and a wonderful People from miscreants bringing harmful stuff over the borders, not to try and intimidate tourists because they are having a slow day and want a bit of vile fun at the expense of others.. That is not a healthy way to work or to demonstrate "as correct" to Junior employees. So that which makes you "Happy" I find very sad
Steve's Kitchen i am happy that they were intimidating...if the officers in your countru were 'so nice' to everyone that visits your country eventhough if they bring in drugs, will you be happy and feel safe???
He said he had Baht, but not enough Ringgit to pay for the Malaysian train so he paid for it using all the Ringgit he had & made up the difference in Baht (but the exchange rate was very bad).
Aww I loved this what a fab way to travel it seems so relaxing but that could just be the way you sell it!!! Lol ok 50bar for a coffee how much that in sterling! I did laugh but fair play at biting your tongue at the costumes dude xxx
Thanks Sonja XX 50 is about 1.14 Pounds, I did bite my tongue, I am not sure I was able to show what a hard time he gave us, just to look big in front of his junior staff.. But I suspect he may not realise just how stupid he looked, to us and them LOL :)
I do love your positive attitude about the immigration check. I for once, can't stand against authority flexing their power just to make a point. Just so you know, Malaysia - Thailand border is notorious for smuggling activities. Every year, assassin (yes for real), human trafficking, drug, weapon and etc cross the border unchecked and unstopped. The officer attitude is a bit stingy but I know what he have been through. Forgive and forget is a big thing.
I agree but there is always a context to every story, if you were there, you would not have seen a diligent border guard checking suspicious Luggage, I had 8 inch chef knife and set in the case that he didn't even look at. What you would have seen was Lazy Supervisor trying to look like the Boss in front of his Juniors, the clip you saw was just a fraction of his pompous manner but like you say, it's just best to let it roll, everyone has a bad day, I hope his next was somewhat better.. :)
I thought you can’t record it due to the custom’s requirement
Can you think of a good reason why that should be so?
yes indeed... hired assassin are mostly from thailand. cheap and efficient
Thailand supplies assassins, whilst Indonesia supplies housemaids. LOL
EXCELLENT video. I'm sold on the first class sleep - on my pat malone! I think even for the extra few bob to be one-up is still a worthwhile investment!
Either is great in my mind.. ruclips.net/video/7sYcnDoAHCY/видео.html
The old train stations in Thailand and Malaysia are just so beautiful...look at this 1:31 for example.
Thanks, Steve for taking us thru such a wonderful train journey from Thailand to Malaysia from the comfort of our home, you are truly a thorough Gentleman. God bless you. kind regards for what all u have done for us.
Thank you for your kind words and it was great to have you along :o)

Interesting video! I liked the new Thai trains.
I do too
im glad the custom officers were doing their job, you know people smuggled illegal goods from thailand into malaysia the most, we need stricter border control!
They were not doing their Job sadly, far from it but you believe what you wish.

Nope your wrong.. and in a world where 2 wrongs make a right, you are living on a planet of Chocolate fire pokers and left handed screw drivers..
Who pays their Salary?

To avoid the hassle, you can just fly Bangkok-KL for nearly 50USD with AirAsia.
Jamie C. YW without bagage right? Look at their lugage they bring.
Do not overproud with cheapest prize then you not pay attention at bagage things.
No hassle
Good information I am planning to also same rote
Sir, nowadays the Thai train Nos. 45 or 46 don't sell First class sleeper any more, it is even not listed on the price list and the service available section of the website, sad. The most comfortable for my aged granny is only the 2nd class sleeper...
How many hours is the travel from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur and how mouch is the fare?
Most malaysian train are using ETS.
bit.ly/Train-Journeys For those of you who love the Railways, you might like to check out these Journeys on Steve's Travels, don't forget to say Hi.. Choo Choo!! 🚂
It's on my todo list! Thanks.
Steve please do a video with Chasing A Plate
Malaysians should use this mode of travel more often (including considering international flights from bkk)
How many hours would it take from Thailand to Malaysia?
Good Trip I hope u enjoy it.
Luv & enjoy your video
It is possible to buy the ticket from online?
very enjoyable video. thanks
Cheers..

Thank you!
A super clean train from to Bangkok to Kualalumpur.
Waowwwww
Such a nice train.
Used to in 2009-2010 wasn't really good as it is now
That was a Loverly trip Steve & Michele, it's so pretty there.

Thanks Maxi.. Interesting, this might have been developed but the town centre is not close.. I hope one day it will be re opened.. ;)
Steve
Steve's Kitchen It's sad isn't it, when they're abandoned like that, whatever it becomes it's better than just leaving it, I suppose. Take care Steve. ❤🙂🐶
True but there is something nice about not messing with it too Maxi.. :o) Leaves hope..
Steve's Kitchen Yes, It does leave hope, your right. Take care Steve. ❤🙂🐶
Very interesting video. Might try it one day.
Do :o)
The train in KL is nice and modern. In TH the trains are old may because people don't like taking train for travel.
namaste steve sir i'm your new subsciber and i love your vlog very informative its sad you faced some difficultiy at border check point they just doing theire duty i hope u forgive them i enjoyed alote keep it up have a good day

What train number you rode from HuaHin?
The first sleeper train and the last Malaysian train were imported from China CRRC.
Hi Steve ..it was good to see your train trip..i was travelling with you virtually....Pls share some videos of Eurails, if you have any.
Thank you. May I ask what Eurails are? is
Rails in Europe which travels almost all parts in Europe. I m sure you must have travelled in Europe. So please share some of your Europe experience.
I am taufik in indonezia ..exatly in east borneo...i hopd ..sometime i want to meeet u sir..in malaysia..
One day..
The Malaysian train looked very much like British rolling stock...perhaps the same manufacturer?
That class 93 of malaysia made by csr zhuzhou (now merged with another china's rail company to form crrc). Where is britain's train made from)
Ya i also aboarded this train some foreigners from KL to Bangkok using newest version than this train i think they are French since I saw their backpackers with tiny national flag at their back
Welcome to our country ! hope you enjoyed Malaysia 😊
I love it, Thanks
How much time it took from Bangkok to Kuala lumpur??? How much ticket price???

Good day sir! Very nice video! I wonder though is the route Morning time in KL Sentral to Lunchtime in Padang Besar then Evening time to Bangkok arriving the ff day? Thank you! God bless!
Hi Steve, what is the name of the first class sleeper train for your Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur journey? I am travelling with a 7yo kid and a 71yo mom, so I need a comfortable ride for them. Our flight is on Oct 23rd, I hope you can give us the information the soonest. Thanks!
hi, just watched your videos....very interesting...i am just curious...i thought we can't take any photos and videos when go through immigration....how did they allow you guys to take a videos?
What camera do u used?
The thing is, when you point your camera at someone their attitude often changes as it goes “on the record”. This is particularly prominent with officials in most of Asia where things are normally taken by more unofficial and relaxed manner.
Hi Steve, just curious, did u encounter any problems filming at the immigration and baggage check area? i saw a woman getting shouted at for taking photos on her phone at the Malaysian immigration line a few months back.
you are not supposed to take pictures at all immigration areas everywhere in the world!
Actually it's restricted area to take photo or video
hi, is it allowed to bring puppy dog in first class cabin?
Stave you are not given details about train .means train name ,route map and cost of travel .
Last time I looked I was a traveller, not a Travel Agent.. Look it up, I'm not your mother.
How many hours?
Welcome to Malaysia :) and sorry about what had happened to you at the immigration center. It happened sometimes there :(
I frequently come to Malaysia, it's a favourite country of ours and in truth mostly experiences are far nicer :o) Thanks
@@Steve-Owens Oh my! I'm so glad to hear it from you! you're great Steve! Hope to see more videos from you :) Good day ;)
Asmawi, the border/immigration official -in Padang Besar, Malaysia just did his job- to ensure that tourist did not bring drug into the country....no need to be offended.
Nice train trip report - thanks
If you think so. I saw a power crazed child, who frankly couldn't have cared less if he did his job. I have good evidence of this but if you choose to respect this poor ethic, I can fully encourage you.. Thanks..
Kapunka Steve for this nice video,i like this english dialect :)
Thanks
Can one travel from Bangkok to Yangon via train, or is it not possible yet?
Lovely video. You gave me quite a shock when you came to check up on me 😂
Didn’t knew you had such troubles crossing the border? I went straight through.
Fun to see myself from “back then”. A lot have happened since!
Take care 🙏
So much has happened, hasn't it buddy, what a great adventure life is... I have been watching your Journey and I saw you were back in KL in the same building.... Great Bike ride by the way.. All the best, till we meet again.. Steve and Michele

No camera is allowed at the CIQ supposedly
I have travelled on it. So i know how it looks like. This the old train. I haven't travel on the new one.

Thanks..
can you pls tell Bangkok to kuala lumpur ticket price & time duration?
No sleeping bed from bangkok to padang besar... so frustrated..
How much bath Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur border cross to Kuala Lumpur city
Im happy that the Customs did their job in protecting Malaysia, our country. No offences by the way...
How odd you should think so.. No offence either.
They are paid very good money from Taxes paid by the "public" and they are servants of the public, whom pay their wages. Public meaning you and I and any one else that pays tax into that countries system.
As such, they owe a duty of respect to all but people that break the laws they protect, nothing more nothing less.
Their job is to protect a beautiful country and a wonderful People from miscreants bringing harmful stuff over the borders, not to try and intimidate tourists because they are having a slow day and want a bit of vile fun at the expense of others.. That is not a healthy way to work or to demonstrate "as correct" to Junior employees. So that which makes you "Happy" I find very sad
Steve's Kitchen i am happy that they were intimidating...if the officers in your countru were 'so nice' to everyone that visits your country eventhough if they bring in drugs, will you be happy and feel safe???
Yes I would, I don't believe in Borders, they are controlling the world like cattle, it's not anyones Planet it belongs to us all.
msti negara jran cemburu lihat maly smakin maju kreta api laju nya

Thanks
SRT First class sleeper impressed me.
How much it cost can u tell ?
What a great video 👍
Seat 61 was Mark Smith vlogs.
What's the ticket price
Hello..which station in bangkok u take the train to kl plz?
Hua Lamphong, I think, check with Google..
go to Indonesia, we have many beautiful places. like Bali, Lombok, Raja Ampat and others
i'm just curios though did you exchange ur money to their local currency before boarding??
Which Currency Jess? can you explain.
the thai baht and malaysian ringgit or you just used dollar to purchase something
and is their a train from malaysia going to thailand??
Yes but you must change at the Border.. And try to get some local currency before you set off
He said he had Baht, but not enough Ringgit to pay for the Malaysian train so he paid for it using all the Ringgit he had & made up the difference in Baht (but the exchange rate was very bad).
Very interesting, I suppose.
The best tube vid
Thanks.
how long does it take? from bk to kl?
Check out Seat 61 it's a web site that will answer all your questions
HI I from Thailand
Your welcome
Hey.. Hi Thanks
Custom in pandang besar must have to be very strict. This is because there is a lot of gun smuggling through border.
How much?
Aww I loved this what a fab way to travel it seems so relaxing but that could just be the way you sell it!!! Lol ok 50bar for a coffee how much that in sterling! I did laugh but fair play at biting your tongue at the costumes dude xxx
Thanks Sonja XX 50 is about 1.14 Pounds, I did bite my tongue, I am not sure I was able to show what a hard time he gave us, just to look big in front of his junior staff.. But I suspect he may not realise just how stupid he looked, to us and them LOL :)
