Inside Thai Train

Muak Lek by bicycle : In the train, on the track

Train interior
Atmosphere of second-class fan bogies

Our bikes were separated from their owners.  They're parked in parcel bogie at the head of the train and we walked to find our seats which later found at the last bogie.  Blue seats are big and long enough to lay comfortably.  There are luggage racks above the seats both sides.  I think in such case we don't actually need fans because we can enjoy natural ventilation.  You can lean out the train's windows to take fresh air but just beware tree branches too.

Take fresh breeze air along the way when train began to run through forest


After a while, the scene of countryside villages changed in to bushes.  Train went up small hills into forest.  There are many cement factories located in the forest.  This area is called Saraburi where the biggest amount of cement are produced and distributed throughout Thailand.  Besides enjoying forest atmosphere along the way we could enjoy spending little money.  We tried local food and dessert that vendors brought on the train.  Ice, a friend, got a hammock with negotiable price, 20 Baht only!
