Bangkok to Bali on the South Bound Train

September 28th, 2010

seen on soft Bangkok Malaysia train to the coast of Penang is released from the side Perhentian Islands. The train was leaving for Bangkok in the early afternoon and it’s a good idea, it’s on time, my experience with Thai trains that they are working on the timing of exit from the main train station in Bangkok. Much of the advice is to contact snacks before arriving at the station, especially if you like fresh fruit. The train has a dining car that serves mostly Thai food, Thai food when you are in order, such as. Dinner can get a bit noisy at night that all police officers in the process, employees and regular runners are all sitting and drinking Mekong and Chang and relax after a hard day at the office, which for many travelers are part of the charm and excitement of travel how you can be a fly on the wall and watch the locals feel their webpages or entering.

The train is cheap, about $ 40 for a seat on the 2nd Class air-conditioning, which is well, be sure to lower the upper beds beds influence on so you do not get to sleep so well. You can also seats in the 1 Air conditioning class, where only 2 people in the cabin. The cabin is quite small, but they made it into a sink and a mirror that are the real improvements to the seats fit – berths. The biggest advantage is the possibility of the door being locked from the inside when you can so with your spouse, you are not some “Risky Business” form of entertainment night, just the same as the club have mile journey high, but something that I have to draw the trip unforgettable.

Trains first class have a shower, also an interesting feature on long journeys, the bathrooms are also the same. You have to see not really check tickets, what car you are actually under control after the first, if you go from second to first, you can also take a shower. In both first class and second class cars, you can stream. For vehicles of the first class of the location of the catch is obvious. For vehicles of the 2nd Class, you need a little on a column view in the middle of the car halfway up a cover 2 jack. There are also links in the bathroom, where drivers sit and where containers of hot water. In Asia, most airports and train stations of hot water available, so it’s a good idea to packages of Nescafe and tea or a cup of soup or noodles that are great budget stretchers when on the road that have such flights or trains how to change the battery terminals with a premium for the convenience and zap. » Read more: Bangkok to Bali on the South Bound Train
