I would like to highlight a fellow member has helped me with the train light shot. I hav learned the problem with this shot was there was too much light in the background so he took that out and highlited the trainights.

Here is the result; I like it very much

The same rear lights, from another P.O.V. ,GDD.

This is a fast shutter speed pic with flash, taken from the bogey joint in a tunnel at about 40km/h.

Exiting the Chiang Mai express at midnight..

Having a snooze or watching the telly between trains! Surrattanni train Station

You are warned!

You are warned!

Lot's of warnings on the train.

Smoker's hang out on the train: The bogey joint.

My train home, being blessed by the monks!

Just for the record: How long was the journey from Hualampong to Surath? One day i would like do this trip myself and continue to Penang. I have heard it's going to be rough...

I like the sign! This is a more or less " mobile" version.

It takes a while... not something to do if you are in a rush to catch a plane or something... left Surrat at 8 pm and got to Bkk 10 am next morning... coming back left Bkk at 6.30 pm got to Surrat at about 8 am..

Bed was good, I would not have called it a rough ride!

It must have stopped for a while overnight.... ? A pleasant trip though, meeting other travelers and chatting, so time flies! .... for 560 baht upper birth with fan... You can't beat the price! (plus 380 baht for bus and ferry to Samui.... Toilet needed to be avoided being a squat pot!

Thanks for the report, Jimmy. Very nice you haven't even noticed the train was probably delayed. .

After Surath I will onward to Penang and use seat 61 as a reference.

Any experiences from anyone on the surath-penang leg?

I dug up a better shot of the warning. A place to smoke on public tranport. Excellent.

Finally found one DAL.........good old BTS

Sweet shot, Shaggy. You got the Sun between the buildings just right.

I can smell the fumes and feel the heat by looking at your picture. Melancholic, even

Is it Asoke?
