How about the night train itself - I was told it is safe for a single woman but I'm wondering about the logistics of carrying a large suitcase (Thailand is part of my 4 week vacation for which I needed my suitcase - couldn't get away with my backpack).

Thanks again!
I wouldn't travel by train in Thailand.
