The train, as usual in SEA, blasted the cool air making the top sleeper next to the air vent unbearable. We ended up sharing the small lower sleeper just to escape Antarctic temperatures - made us question why we paid NZ$20 for each sleeper.
While we slept, or tried to, our bikes were safely stored in the first storage carriage. The Thai railway service is great for its reliability and service.
Below is a photo of our loaded bikes in Bangkok before we hopped on the train. Our decision of panniers vs. backpacks is currently being tested. If the weight distribution proves unsteady, when we return to Bangkok we might be upgrading to panniers. But after our initial rides, the backpacks appear to be ok.
