The Special Express No. 13 sleeper train goes from Bangkok to Chiang Mai overnight. It uses the older sleeper carriages and so is slightly cheaper than the Special Express No. 9 train that leaves Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal an hour earlier. So, make sure you get on the right train! At the moment, there is no restaurant car on this train and you are advised to take your own food and drinks.
