Thanks for this video mate. Brings me way back in the late 70s when i was a teen n love to stand and hang on the stairs of the train enjoying the air and sceneries. Yeah man, those days they dont even mind opening the doors the whole way.
I took the ETS from TBS Central KL to Padang Besar as well in 2018 .. And from Padang Besar to Hat Yai by Mini Van .. That took almost 1 hours ride plus .. We stayed in Hat Yai Grand Plaza Hotel (Great Seafood at night) for 1 night and then to Krabi by mini van as well for another 6 hours plus .. ☺😁
You two are so intrepid! I'd imagine you could give some good advice on relationships since you make such a good team and seem to get along so well, especially since the stresses of travelling can often put a strain on relationships. It's also inspiring how you navigate tricky situations while travelling, you seem to have a good way of dealing with these things and moving on, literally! :)
HMmmmm. Is that the right number on h's and m's who knows. I guess we could but it's hard to hear the truth sometimes, in reality it's seems a bit about lowering your expectations and loving each other without conditions. I'll give it some thought.. 👍 thank you for your kind thoughts 😉
Well done mate . Back in my time it used to be called the Butterworth - Bangkok express.. . Very nostalgic for me . Wish you and Michelle all the best and looking forward to the next video ☺️.
That's a really old looking train. The seats don't look that comfortable. It was some pretty nice looking scenery along the route. Cheers, Steve and Michelle! ✌️
I think there is a direct KL (KL Sentral) to Padang Besar (My-TH border) ETS rather than having to stop at Butterworth (unless you want to spend some time in Penang). Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@Steve-Owens if you take the platinum train service it will have a minimal stops (5-7 stops at main stops along the way ipoh, taiping, kuala kangsar, butterworth, arau)
Had my one and only overnight train experience from KL to Kota Baru mad that’s it no more 😅 although my parents work,met, hooked and got married while working in KTM 😂
Can't wait to see what First Class Sleeper is like in Thailand. I have always wondered about doing the sleeper from Hatyai. Some of my friends say it's beautiful scenery especially all the way up to Kanchanaburi. Anyway... there is this Pad Thai place, in Siam Square, that I see only locals eating there that I would recommend, but not for the Pad Thai, rather the Crab Meat Scramble Egg with rice. It was so good. I hope it survived the pandemic. It's called Pad Thai Mae Thong Bae on Soi Chulalongkorn 64, just in front of Siam Paragon, near the Novotel hotel.
When return back kl make sure buy your lunch/dinner at the same stores their nasi lemak was nice n cheap, but u can also buy your meal at the train too just that not much choice and price a bit expensive

I am sorry for the trouble you had with the immigration officer thats keep talking on the phone until he wrongly made mistake with your passport. This kind of work should be complained and not tolerated. Hopefully someone bring this matter to the authorities
Yes, John or we should complain. We cannot do with this type of civil servant. After all, we the taxpayers are the one who pay their salary, allowance, increments, bonuses and pension thereafter.
They probably commission the older trains for this segment of the track. Quite sure most of the neighbouring countries upgraded over the years.some of the newer ones in Indonesia looks like airplane standard
Thailand under improving train system around the country, priority in Bangkok, next tourists city, and under changing railroad tracks to be double track train.

Great video! I really enjoy these kind of videos. I love to see you on a train, you get such a kick out of it. You’re just like a kid! I haven’t watched in a while and I do want to see the bamboo noodles… But…. I wasn’t gonna say anything, but probably should give you some feedback for all that’s worth. I don’t care for eating videos. I don’t like to watch other people eat. I know there are a lot of people that do. But that’s not me! I like to watch you cook I like to watch you sample things so that I can see on your face your reaction, but I don’t like to watch you eat the rest of it. I don’t want to watch anybody eat a bunch of food. I try not to look at my husband while he eats! I’m sorry. I feel like that’s rude but, probably you don’t care. I’m just one of your subscribers telling you the content I prefer. Please don’t hold it against me!
Bless you both, dealing with the immigration department and traveling on the trains is not always comfortable. I can imagine the hot weather too. Michelle is a trooper coming along and doing what you are doing, Steve.❤
Aaahhh!!!! Steve.. you and Michele has left Malaysia.. i was hoping you might explore the east coast state of the Malay peninsula also known as the Taliban states with horrid medieval politic.. but i think that's where the real Malays cuisine reside.. never the less the south of Thailand is still mainly populated by the Malay as the southern province was a Malay sultanate in bygone day.. looking forward to your Thailand Malay province video's.. i'm sure there's plenty of dishes to be found base on the fusion of the Muslim Malay and the Buddhist siamese..
Taliban state because of islamic party ??.they are being vote by people like any other state.woman are allowed to work and they are thriving in Kelantan,woman allowed to go to school & pursue their dream.

We love a good train journey. Have you got any cool Train stories to share? 🚂Let's talk Trains 👍
Malaysian feel nostalgic looking at Thai trains.....like good days when KTM ran intercity diesel hauled coaches.
2:59 there's 2 different train service..you can book online if you take the ETS service instead of Komuter
If the food is cold, my advice is wash it down with warm drink (not iced drink). water and food is warm and nice
LOL.. I didn't know it was cold until it reached my mouth but thanks..
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. That was a really beautiful rainbow along d journey 22:05 to 22:10.
Thank you very much! It truly was and it was there for a long time.. 🌈
@@Steve-Owens Lovely. 😁
As Malaysian i also experience this thai train and I'm ok with it and enjoy it because i love old school thing..so i enjoyed it..nothing to complain .
Train tickets in Thailand is very cheap
This train is short line service (30 km) from Malaysia border to Had yai that not main line services.
These trains run on the mainlines also..

It's amazing to see trains meet from different centuries it would seem.. 👍
Malaysia trains is more modern and comfy. I went there many times.
Thanks for this video mate. Brings me way back in the late 70s when i was a teen n love to stand and hang on the stairs of the train enjoying the air and sceneries. Yeah man, those days they dont even mind opening the doors the whole way.
Thanks too.. :o)
Great train trip Steve and Michelle... I am 61 and still love hanging out the train doors in my last Sri Lanka trip
Me too. There the best trains... In moderation LOL
I took the ETS from TBS Central KL to Padang Besar as well in 2018 .. And from Padang Besar to Hat Yai by Mini Van .. That took almost 1 hours ride plus .. We stayed in Hat Yai Grand Plaza Hotel (Great Seafood at night) for 1 night and then to Krabi by mini van as well for another 6 hours plus .. ☺😁
Thanks for sharing that.. 👍
From KL to hatyai take Malaysia ETS train.. enonomy class from RM99++ business class from RM170++ free meal.. free WIFI etc...
Good info.
Thx for sharing. I am planning to take the train from Penang to Hat Yai next month as well.
Enjoy
Good information. Thanks.
It's a stark contras, that's what makes them special in their own way.
Exactly,👍

It's like a 1960's or 1970's train in Malaysia. Quite interesting and fun for some people.

Many thanks

The seats were OK when the train was on the go, while it was stopped it was a sauna Dwayne.. ;o)
I think there is a direct KL (KL Sentral) to Padang Besar (My-TH border) ETS rather than having to stop at Butterworth (unless you want to spend some time in Penang). Correct me if I'm wrong.
There is but it still has many stops, it's not exactly direct but has less stops.

Wow..train journeys have views not found by ferries or flights.
So true..
19:24 nope.. U can do that in Malaysia too. Anyway thanks for ur visit Malaysia. Enjoy Thailand.
I'm comparing it to the 10 or more Trains I have travelled on in Malaysia. I haven't seen any like this but as you say there maybe :o). Share..
No way you can do it..with ETS and Commuter trains...the door is automatically run
Only you said with ETS & Commuter trains.
Had my one and only overnight train experience from KL to Kota Baru mad that’s it no more 😅 although my parents work,met, hooked and got married while working in KTM 😂
So something good came out of it Raymond ?? 😉
Those are actually commuter train set originally used in the Klang Valley

They had to fix your passport with a ball point pen after screwing it up? I am DEAD.
EDIT: This was beautiful! Please stay safe!

It's not uncommon at borders sadly, government is never the most efficient implementor of service.. Sadly.
Thks for the experience shown....those in Thai reminds me of Malaysian trains in the 80s
And sixties perhaps ? Cheers
