Bangkok to Koh Lipe: First-Class Sleeper Train to Paradise | Thailand 4K HDR

Come with us on the long journey from Bangkok to Koh Lipe, travelling south by first-class overnight sleeper train, taxi and speedboat. Beautiful train-window scenery, a sudden storm in Hat Yai, and clear turquoise water waiting at the end. It took a while to get there, but it was worth it! After our time in northern Thailand, we flew back from Chiang Rai to Bangkok and spent a few more days there. This part of our holiday begins at Hua Lamphong station. We booked three first-class compartments, with two berths in each, for the overnight journey to Hat Yai. We spent two nights in Hat Yai, visiting CentralFestival and the beautiful Songkhla Central Mosque, feeding the fish and getting caught in a tropical storm. Then an early taxi took us to Pak Bara pier for the speedboat journey, stopping at Koh Tarutao and Koh Khai before arriving on Koh Lipe. Two nights on the island gave us time for Sunrise Beach, a hot afternoon bicycle ride to a quiet cove, snorkelling and a peaceful sunrise. We have kept some of our favourite scenery a little longer, so you can settle in and enjoy the journey with us. A quiet travel film with on-screen comments and an instrumental soundtrack.
