Le Train

18 Hours from Danang to Sai Gon by train:
  • Sleeper car was great! Bunked with 2 ladies (who had the upper bunks) who spoke no English.
  • Beds were hard and narrow, but OK.
  • Bedding was clean-ish (clean but not new) and if you sleep well to a rocking motion, you would have slept well.
  • Toilette was a turkish toilette, a stainless steel hole in the floor with two foot holds. They gracefully provided a handle to keep from sliding around too much.
  • Was ripped off for coffee (2 coffees were the same price as the 4 croissants and 2 muffins I had purchased at the AWESOME bakery Cargo, in Hoi Ann,
  • Keep the door locked at all times. The train attendants have a key, if they need to see your ticket, they will open the door.
Welcome to Sai Gon.

18 heures en train, de Danang a Sai Gon.

Dormatoire sur le train etait geniale. Chaqu'un son lit, une petite chambre pour 4 personees, et les deux femmes au 2ieme niveau parlait pas un mot d'anglais.
Les lits etait etroit, dur, mais OK.
Draps - demi-propre. Propre, mais pas nouveaux, et si tu dorme bien avec le motion d'un train, t'airais super bien dormis.
Toilette turk: un trou, 2 placements p
