The Sleeper Train to Thailand


A relieving celebratory dring upon clearing passport control and entering our beloved Thailand
This blog entry reads best from the bottom up. (this is what I dislike about blogging -- the sequencing)

Nearing the Thai border, we are aware of the added "protective" forces.


a few statuesque formations add visual interest


A lovely gaggle of ducks are frightened by the loud train

Keith catches a bit of a nap

and some familiar rubber trees


Ah, here comes the green -- a familiar rice paddy

But first a classic bit of new construction

Leaving the industrial city scape behind and looking forward to some space and green


Peg gets settled in the seats in preparation for the 14 hour overnight train ride into Thailand










A photo of Keith as we leave the ferry and walk the ramps to the very convenient train station.
