Considering a luxury train trip can be a bit daunting with so many options available. Lately, I’ve noticed a lot of excitement around luxury train experiences, from the lavish routes in Europe to iconic journeys like the Eastern & Oriental Express in Southeast Asia. The idea of taking my time, soaking in stunning scenery while enjoying a bit of luxury, is definitely tempting, but is it really worth the price tag?
I’ve traveled quite a bit in Thailand, usually focusing on local spots and road trips rather than high-end experiences. I’m curious how luxury train travel compares to that. Are the amenities and unique experiences really special enough to justify the cost? For those who have taken a luxury train journey recently, what did you think? Was it a memorable adventure or just an extravagant way to travel? What should someone consider before booking a luxury train trip?
