sleeper train to chiang mai

For anyone who's ever taken a night bus...the night train/sleeper car was absolute bliss. Except for the INCREDIBLY LOUD alarm that tore me out of my sleep at 4:30am, it was great. We arrived in chiang mai early in the morning and easily found accommodation. It wasn’t necessarily the most luxurious (broken beds, ant-infested, stained walls) but at $1.50 a night who’s complaining.
