Hardly seems fair as you have to get half pissed to survive some train journeys here. Last time the 'express' took 13 hours from Ubon to Bkk, window was stuck open, doors tied back and a bit of string over the gapping door way at the back of the last coach we were in, where you could see the track below creeping by. Never again it stopped at almost every station for the water sellers and chicken on a stick vendors to get on. Sleepers are the only tolerable chuff chuffs.
