[2] The train journey into Isaan is quite scenic as you have to climb over a hill. As the train has to go slowly due to the hills, they are building a tunnel and a 50 metre high viaduct as a shortcut. This will be opened next year and should provide some fantastic views.
[3] Our train arrived a little late at Pak Chong Railway Station. Waiting for us was a songtaew driver from Greenleaf Guesthouse. We will be staying with them and as we booked a tour as well, they offer a free pick up at the station.

[4] Our first stop in Ratchaburi was at Chulalongkorn Bridge. The railway bridge was built in 1901. They are now building a new bridge as part of the double track project. However due to unexploded bombs in the river they had to build it without putting pillars into the water.

Good morning from Udon Thani Railway Station in Northeastern Thailand. I came here on Special Express No. 25 (thaitrainguide.com/timetables/no-…). I’m here to write a @ThaiTrainGuide as part of my #RailTourism project.

[2] The highlight of any visit to Udon Thani during the cool season is the Red Lotus Lake. The lily flowers are in bloom from around November to March. To rent a boat for up to six persons is 500 Baht. The trip is around 90 minutes and he will stop at a few places. #Thailand
[3] It’s not that easy to reach the Red Lotus Lake by public transport. A Grab taxi is 400 Baht. You can ask your hotel to arrange a car for about 1,200 Baht. I decided to hire a driver for the day for 1,800 Baht which I think is better value.

The KiHa-183 trains were donated by Japan. They were then refurbished in the Makkasan Workshops so that they look as good as new. They kept the livery the same as when it was used in Japan. There also kept the information signs. The KiHa-183 trains will be used as tourist trains.

🚂 🏕️ This weekend I took the sleeper train to Khun Tan Railway Station in Lamphun in Northern Thailand. From there I hiked up to the top of the nearby mountain and slept in a tent for two nights. This is a THREAD 🧵 of that trip. [1/21]

[2] For my trip I took Special Express No.51 which left Bangkok at 10:00pm. This is my favourite Chiang Mai sleeper as the sun rises just as you arrive in the most scenic stretch of the trip. (You can also start your trip from Chiang Mai as it’s only one hour away.)
[3] No. 9 sleeper arrives at Khun Tan at 6:01am when it’s still dark. No. 13 arrives at 7:32am which is a better time. My train, No. 51, arrived at 11:00am which means I missed half a day but really it was enough time for me to hike to my choice of campsite before sunset.
