Have a look here, it should have all the info you need http://www.seat61.com/Thailand.htm as well as photos and useful information.
I'd never book an overseas train ticket without checking Man in Seat 61 first

You don't need to book anything in advance. There are 3 shops on Thai, tourist roads. 7 Elevens, fake clothes shops and travel shops where you can buy tickets to any part of the country via coach, train or plane. Its probably best buying from the shops in Thailand really as you will be provided with a paper ticket and some old geezer who guides you and other bewildered tourists round backstreets of stray cats to your desired mode of transport.

Little bit of advice mate. Learn how to say no! Believe me it's a lovely , You say it when you have beggers or Taxis or people in your face trying to sell or asking for rides or stay here etc.
When you're approached by the above then say - 'Meow Meow' with the shake of the head and wave them away at the same time. Just think off a cat when they Meow Meow, try it and watch them move on to the next person as they think you talk Thai.

Hello/thanks and Bye is easy, Every farang knows that and that's all you hear from Farangs but you never hear them say No as you see Farangs getting all flustered and irritated because Thais don't take no for an answer unless you say ' Meow Meow'!

I got the overnight sleeper from a town called Ratchaburi 2 hours North of Bangkok down to Chumphon and was brilliant. In my opinion much better than flying, fairly comfortable, great laugh and some stunning views.

There goes my next question to Brighton Girl then
Women/girls are just as bad as men out in Thailand.
And sometimes they're both

I meant Farang Girls. Latest craze with farang girls is they're playing the so called game

If you're not in a hurry it's an experience....it's so so slow. I used the train several times travelling in Thailand... Until I discovered that flying is (or was then) comparatively cheap and a hundred times quicker. Shame it's overnight miss the scenery...that said away from the coast the country is pretty repetative. But it's a fun place to live or to visit.
