This is an interesting place to visit....it's opening hours are sort of weird. But, even if you get there on a off day the windows allow a pretty good internal view.

Bambina,

Have you been to Si Quey's place? I have a whole web section devoted to it.

Didn't the original poster ask about Train Museum and not Brain Museum?

From the condition of the State Railway of Thailand, you would think that most of the Directors should be pickled in brine, but more likely they are all pickled on whisky. The Railway is totally inefficient with vast areas of unused land and millions of baht's worth of steel just lying around the country. It's about 50 years behind anything in North America and light years behing Japan. Rolling stock is antique, the Japanese from World War 2 would recognise much that still exists.

However fares are nice and cheap, the staff friendly and the trains leave on time. (Don't always arrive on time though)..

I'm a closet railway enthusiast so I'll be taking a trip to that museum this weekend!!!

Perfect as I'm on babysitting duties for my young niece and nephew, they'll enjoy the trains - whether they like it or might!
