We took an overnight train from Bangkok to the north of
Thailand, Chiang Mai, a distance of about 400 miles. Don’t worry: it took 14
hours! We stopped every 15 minutes and crawled along at perhaps 12 mph. We had a
lovely night’s sleep, then continued riding the train for 7 more hours. Ah! We
finished the last season of Lost though!
The train was right out of a WWII movie: slide windows,
metal everything, mechanical fan contraptions, porters who make the beds, wooden
floors, and of course, squatty toilets (on a bumpy train ride. Yikes!).
The people refused to give us hot water for our noodle cups,
so we starved, surviving only on prepackaged cookie biscuits for three meals.
Oh my gosh, I think this is the train that we are going to take.. yikes! I'm getting nervous haha
