Hello @Kosalma
Travelling via train is always full of fun and I love to travel via train. @PavelSarwar is a local guide from Bangladesh staying in Malaysia currently. Hope he will help you.
Namaste, Niraj
@NirajBhusal First i need to check than i will update you.
@StephenAbraham any idea?
@Kosalma There is no direct train from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok.
What you may need to do is get a train from Kuala Lumpur Sentral to Padang Besar (border of Thailand), then pass through immigration, and get to Hatyai Thailand. From Hatyai Thailand, you can get a Thai train to Bangkok.
From Padang Besar (Malaysia), there should be some buses to get to Hatyai.
*There used to be a Malaysia train from Kuala Lumpur to Hatyai, but I remembered they stopped it some time back. So, just get to the Padang Besar Thailand border, and get a bus to Hatyai Thailand. It’s not far. From Hatyai to Bangkok by train. Hatyai & Songkhla is a big tourist destination also, you can take the opportunity to visit.
@Kosalma you can book the train tickets directly in KL Sentral train station or visit this web site.
@Kosalma If you ask me… I have a better suggestion for you.
Visit KL,
Get a bus from KL to Ipoh, visit Ipoh for 1 day
Get a bus from Ipoh to Penang, visit Penang for 2 days
From Penang, get a ferry to Langkawi, visit Langkawi for 1 or 2 days
From Langkawi, get a ferry back to Kuala Kedah, from Kuala Kedah, take a bus to Padang Besar, transfer to Hatyai
…
instead of just taking a train, you will miss all these wonderful places… 
@Kosalma I love travelling by train but fasten your seatbelt, lol . First it takes 4-5 days to get there no bullet train yet. Every stop over is noisy and a lots of vendors going inside selling different types and kinds of anything.Their is also a money exchange inside. Being V.I.P. inside the train or upper deck or lower deck stiil you hear everything difference is privacy.Buses are faster first class V.I.P. seats you can stretch your body and be able to go down every stop over rather just inside train. It’s all up to you, what matter is your convenient. Goodluck to your journey to bangkok if you need any assistance let’s keep in touch. You may check Journey To Bangkok To Your Facebook It’s my Account too. Wink
In Malaysia, you will use ETS (Electric Train Service) to travel to KL.

My comment might not answering your question. Transportation by train not really popular in Malaysia except those commuting within city center area like Klang Valley etc. However, it will be a very good experience if you take this option. Have a save journey! Hopefully you will have a very generous hospitality during your stay in Malaysia.
