The train journey is great Ann but presumably you’d not want top bunks, you’d need to specify two lower bunks. You don’t see much, you’re asleep most of the way, it’s just a fun experience, so maybe for you, no, take a plane. Bouncing around on the train and having to use moving bathrooms may be tricky. Have you looked at the place we stayed at just outside Chiang Rai? Pretty little bungalows in a forest setting, I think it’s in this post, if not it will be in the Chiang Rai one. There are endless nice hotels in and around Chiang Mai too.

Have you any suggestions of accommodation, maybe in a reasonably priced resort, we have been to Thailand on a tour and know there are some lovely places to stay,
Is the train journey from Bangkok north worth doing?

If you go towards Chiang Rai and Mae Salong, 3-4 days is enough, same of you go the other way towards Mae Hong Son. Combining the two…nt sure at this point and I’m on the road right now sorry, can’t check a map. Try to stay ( at least) in Pae, Chiang Rae and Mae Salong. For the other way Pai and Mai Hong Son.

We have booked a place in Chiang Mai for when we arrive and are planning to rent a car to explore on our own. Can you offer suggestions on how long we should rent the car for? We have read your posts and are planning to see most of it if the girls are game as we go. We are wondering where you suggest stops for nights and how long. We have driven and lived in Australia for 2017 so hopefully the driving will be easy to pick up again. We have as long as 1.5 weeks to explore up North but we know the weather will be hot and perhaps bad air quality as well.

Just book your flights and accommodation using your favourite online booking engines. Taxis will get you around locally very cheaply. Do you need flights or long interal bus or train journeys? If so you can even book those in advance using 12 Go.
