Railway Noise Advisory
With over 119 years of history, Vietnam’s railway system carries the charm of the past, including the distinctive clatter of the tracks, a nostalgic sound that is inseparable from the classic train experience.
At Tonkin, we understand that noise can affect your rest. That is why we have made every effort to minimize it by:
- Collaborating with experienced architects and top-tier contractors,
- Improving rail joints and track systems,
- Upgrading old carriages and installing soundproof materials in cabins and flooring.
However, due to railway safety regulations and the fixed nature of national rail infrastructure,
certain elements cannot be modified, making some level of noise unavoidable.
As this is beyond our control, it is not eligible for a refund.
We sincerely ask for your understanding and hope you will embrace this nostalgic rhythm as part of your timeless journey with Tonkin.
