Thai Trip Report #4

Jun

Thai train trips are usually pretty interesting, often for unexpected reasons! One time I remember, the train that I was on hit a cow, and it took a while for the staff to remove it from under the train. Pretty disgusting.

This time, a tree had fallen across the tracks. I took this photo before helping to pull it off. It was a little difficult & took us all about 15 minutes. Afterwards the staff all thanked me for helping which made me feel good.

I was happy till I looked at my trousers - they were completely dirty, and I didn`t have another pair with me. Oh well.

Ha, ha! That sounds funny! You didn't  take change of clothes, did you? So, how long did the train take for destination? However, there is peaceful somehow.

I took a spare shirt, socks & underwear, but not trousers... They were in my suitcase which I left at "Left Luggage" in Bangkok`s Hua-Lamphong station (I didn`t want to carry a lot of stuff with me).
The train was scheduled to take about 13 hours, but as usual it was late (about 3 hours late this time).
