In my country's capital, Manila, it is impossible for commuters (count me in) not to take trains--it is part of us and in our day-today routines going through from city to another. A friend of mine, in his winning essay once elaborated the dramas including the many faces of riding a metro rail transit--a rainbow monochrome. There he prolifically described comfort and speed and joy for those who love the rides. But long ride like this time is a different story especially for people who don't have much time to travel. It is discomfort, eternal trip, and agonizing. But not for me. I was actually surprised to love the ride. It wasn't only cheap (a dollar and a half ticket for five-hour journey to Southern Thailand), but you will also get to know the culture in this particular side of the country.
