Contrary to popular belief, even those with limited time off, such as salaried employees with only two days of vacation, can still enjoy a train journey to Chiang Mai. While the train ride may seem long, the scenery along the way is often more captivating than the destination itself. This is especially true during the rainy season when the lush greenery along the northern railway line is at its peak.
This train is perfect for those who want to leave work in the evening and take a train to Chiang Mai. Even after work, you still have time to pack your things at home and return to the station on time. Or you can bring your luggage from work and sit or lie down at the Bangkok station to wait. This train has both second-class seats and sleeping cars. It's not just third class. For more information, please call 1690.
Time was left, so I went for a walk and took some photos.
The car has arrived but has not yet departed. You can go and find a seat.
The place was deserted because we chose to come on a weekday. The four chairs were arranged in a circle, so we each reserved our own spot and stretched out our legs as there were hardly any other customers.
The third floor has been renovated and is now quite clean. Let's work together to keep it that way.
The trash bag is here.
It's time for the car to leave. It's night, so there's no view. We're just going back.
For those seeking a more comfortable journey, sleeper trains offer the opportunity to rest and arrive refreshed. Passengers can freshen up at the train station in the morning before heading straight to the office.
We frequently opt for sleeper buses due to safety concerns associated with deep sleep. This preference for sleeper buses over night buses stems from a desire to prioritize personal safety.

He has cleaners, not that he doesn't.
Finally, after all the hard work, I feel relieved.
Let's rent a motorbike and find a place to stay. I called the accommodation this morning to ask if walk-ins were allowed, and they said yes. So let's go! We won't stay in the city anymore. Let's go to Mae Klang Luang. During the rainy season, it's green like this, and I want to see the grass and rice plants.
The original text describes a motorbike journey from Chiang Mai Railway Station to Doi Inthanon. Here's the translated version:
We rented a motorbike from Chiang Mai Railway Station and navigated our way through the city, getting lost quite a bit. However, we were determined to reach Highway 108 (based on a rough Google Maps estimate). We continued on this road until we reached the intersection with Highway 1009 in Chom Thong district, heading towards Mae Chaem. The total distance from Chiang Mai to Mae Chaem was over 90 kilometers, and from Mae Chaem to Doi Inthanon was another 20 kilometers. In total, we ended up riding over 200 kilometers roundtrip. We weren't fully prepared for the journey, as we forgot our gloves and arm sleeves. We hadn't planned on going this far, and only booked our accommodation while on the train, being told we could walk in upon arrival.
Please pay the entrance fee and transportation fee first.
The journey should have been faster, but the driver was cautious and afraid, frequently stopping to take pictures along the way. They relied solely on Google Maps for navigation, lacking a physical map, which slowed them down considerably.
The sign indicated that we had arrived at our destination, Mae Klang Luang, in the late afternoon.
The late afternoon sun was still shining brightly, but it wasn't too hot. There was a gentle breeze blowing.
The accommodation is quite far in, I was surprised at first, is this a whole house for 500 baht?
We stayed at Baan Mae Klang Luang Homestay. Contact Mr. Somsak at 081 960 8856 or 08 1760 5181. The price is 500-1200 baht per night. We arrived on a weekday and got the room for 500 baht. The staff told us that the price will double to 1000 baht per night in October.
The front of the room may not have a view of the rice fields, but it is surrounded by dense forest. It is located quite high up. Other accommodations have a view of the rice terraces, but they may be more expensive.

Lost in the darkness, I continued walking, my phone's light illuminating the path ahead. The only signs of life were the occasional flicker of light from distant houses. As I trudged on, a friendly dog appeared, walking alongside me and guiding my way. Despite the fear of being alone in the dark, the dog's presence brought comfort and companionship. Finally, we reached the entrance of my accommodation, the darkness only broken by the beam of my phone's flashlight.
While walking, I suddenly remembered wondering if there was Wi-Fi available. I tried asking an elderly woman, who ran over to talk to me. She was a local villager, and we had difficulty understanding each other. Despite not knowing much about Wi-Fi, she kindly led me to a coffee shop owned by Mr. Somsak. The shop had Wi-Fi, but it seemed unavailable at my accommodation. I found the network, but the password was unknown.
Our accommodation was pitch black. We didn't leave any lights on when we went out.
The morning alarm clock woke me up, but I was still late. I rushed to get ready to drive to Doi Inthanon.
The weather is fantastic.
Lush green foliage, a refreshing sight, this is the path we seek.

Bun 30 baht (forgot which station I bought it from)
The price of noodles at Ban Pin Station is 20 baht.
The cost of eating at the Lamphang train station is a bit high, so I decided to park for a while and grab some food.

The motorcycle rental fee in front of Chiang Mai Railway Station is 200 baht. A deposit of 1,000 baht is required, along with an ID card (the deposit is refundable upon returning the motorcycle). The fuel cost is 120 baht. When I returned the motorcycle, there was still a lot of fuel left.
Accommodation in Mae Khlang Luang costs 500 baht.
We stayed at a homestay in Ban Mae Klang Luang. We contacted Mr. Somsak at 081-9608856 or 081-7605181. The price is 500-1200 baht per night. We came on a weekday and got the room for 500 baht. The staff told us that the price would likely double to 1000 baht or more per night in October. This is probably because it is the school holidays and there are more tourists. It is also getting close to the winter season.
