I live in KH and need to be at TPE for a 6:30am flight. Are there overnight sleeper trains or buses with beds that run from KH to TPE? Or will I have to sleep sitting up? ---

In response to the thread question: no, there aren’t. If you have booked a 6:30 am flight (ouch!), then you are supposed to check in around 4:30 am right? Either spend the night before at a hotel near TPE or if you insist take the last HSR north the night before and camp out at the airport. Just typing those words makes me feel tired. 🙃 Guy ---

I was afraid of that. I am leaning toward staying at a hotel near TPE but camping at the airport might not be a bad idea either. I just don’t know if those airport seats have those pesky armrests separating them, preventing people from laying flat. ---

Is there some plausible schedule to get the OP from Kaohsiung to TPE for a 4:30 am arrival? Guy ---

Take Ho Hsin buses. They recline back very far and I use them often to sleep on overnight trips to Kaohsiung to save money. They are more expensive at about $700ish from Kaohsiung Main Station to Taipei Main Station From there, you’d take one of the night buses to the airport. ---

Here’s a photo of what the Ho Hsin recliner seats look like. Well, according to their website. Can you verify @Marco? [http://www.ebus.com.tw/ebus/information01.html](http://www.ebus.com.tw/ebus/information01.html) ---

This is a possible route yes but with significant backtracking. It also sounds deeply unfun for a 4:30 am airport arrival. Guy ---

Yeah, basically the 14 seaters. ---

It’s pretty unfun when the only practical airport nationwide is Taoyuan. Otherwise you can transfer at Chungli. Bus comes once an hour though. I think they will help you plan it if you go to the storefront and ask. ---

You need to ask so take this with a grain of salt. Many buses on their way north, but not south, stop for a few minutes in Chungli for airport transfers. You could do that, or simply go to TPE Main and backtrack. ---

> [@OrangeOrganics](#): > > I would just get a hotel in taoyuan That’s what I ended up doing. Made a reservation for the City Suites for $2k for the night. It’s a short taxi ride away from both the Taoyuan HSR stop and TPE. [Next page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/railways-bus-overnight-sleeper-trains-or-buses-with-beds-in-taiwan/224645.md?page=2)
