Our Namtok Train Goes 4x4 Off The Rails In

[Kan Win]

Hear this news today from a Thai mate of mine this morning.

Four passenger carriages of the train derailed. Anyone know about this ?

So far I think there where 5 of them in four months.

Yours truly,

Kan Win reads the BKK post as well

I did that journey once, from Thon Buri to Nam Tok. From Kan to end of line at Nam Tok, the conductor and I were the only people in the carriages!.

Article in last weeks Bangkok Post from a Thai journo still describing it as the "death railway" due to its still appalling safety standards.

Yes, its in yesterdays BP, 5 incidents in the last 4 month, decrepit rail track & sleepers, will cost millions to service for safety. The name 'Death Railway' seems to be a chilling indication of things to come
