Train was 600 bhat for a fan coach and a lower burth bed. Left at 22:00 and arived at about 13:00 the next day. We had to take a coach for 40 minutes at the end of the trip because apparently there was flooding that damaged the tracks near chiang mai.The scenery along thev way was very good though. Unlike when you take a bus the landscape is not built up the whole way there and you get to see jungle, fields and mountains with nothing but a wooden shack for for man made structures.The food was fairly expencive though, 200 bhat for food in the morning (rice soup). But Its a captive audience so if you forgot to bring your own snacks from a 7/11 before the trip, you pay it. Its a good idea to ask the price of things before ordering though, a small chang bottle was 150 bhat which is very expencive.For an overnight trip I much prefer the horizontal bed in a slightly rough condition train than an effectively upright seat in a high quality bus.
