Comments on: Traveling by train in Thailand http://www.mythailanddiary.com/776/traveling-by-train-in-thailand/ This is my journal of living in Thailand Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:06:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: moesu http://www.mythailanddiary.com/776/traveling-by-train-in-thailand/#comment-11960 moesu Tue, 20 Mar 2007 23:24:00 +0000 http://www.mythailanddiary.com/776/traveling-by-train-in-thailand/#comment-11960 Bei meinem ersten Thailand-Aufenthalt im 2001 sind wir mit zwei Nachtfahrten von Süd-Thailand nach Chiang-Mai gereist. Den Tag dazwischen haben wir in Bankok verbracht. Diese Zugfahrt war ein durchaus positives Erlebnis. Beeindruckt hat mich besonders, dass die Liegen (Betten wäre übertrieben) "längs", und nicht wie in Europa gewohnt, "quer" im Wagen angeordnet sind. Dies erleichtert das Schlafen im Zug enorm. Ich würde dieses Transportmittel in Thailand jederzeit wieder nutzen. P.S. zudem konnten wir auch zwei Guesthouse-Übernachtungen sparen ;-) Bei meinem ersten Thailand-Aufenthalt im 2001 sind wir mit zwei Nachtfahrten von Süd-Thailand nach Chiang-Mai gereist.

I discovered it a few years ago and have spoken with the guy who is behind it, really nice guy and very helpful. He loves his trains. In the press it said his site has more information about trains in Egypt than the Egyptian authorities (online). Train back to Europe, wonderful! Why not try the other route; India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey etc - probably more of a risk but I would guess very interesting. The daughter and I might e a similar thing across Europe later this year. seat61 is a great site.

I planned to go to Laos by train and he said... if u gonna go, u gotta be careful too. Sometimes it's dangerous because u dunno everyone who gets on board. :) ... so u might wanna be careful too. :) I once knew a guy who luv to travel by train to places.
