Bangkok to Singapore by train with my family of 5 was really exciting and inexpensive compared to air travel, particularly when you have lots of luggage and a small budget. The entire trip cost us less than 10,000 Thai Baht ($350) That's a big WOW!
Actually, we startef at Udon Thani and made our way to Bangkok; this part of the trip was exciting but tiring but we knew that a few days rest in the big city would do us good. Then we took the second class overland sleeper to Penang, Malaysia and rested for a couple of days before moving on to Kuala Lumpur. After KL we spent another night on the train and although it was cold with air con, the train staff were really helpful.
In all, we could have done a lot more en route like getting of and taking time in a Thai resort but we had a plane to catch back to England.
All in all, if you have the time and want to save money by flying to certain destinations from Singapore, do what we did; we saved about $2,000.
Happy travels.
