Lots of nice rice fields in various states of growth cycles.
Our final sunset photo before turning in for the night
-- sorry Dottie, but we didn't get any photos of those
dramatic blue privacy curtains you and Amber
enjoyed. But thoroughly enjoyed the lullaby/rocking
of the train. It was comfortable and comforting.
From the window we caught sight of this monkey
community which seemed to be interested in the
passing train. Such a temptation to engage in
anthropomorphism.
Time for a photo before leaving the station. Our
seats were the last ones on the last car. It turned
into a rather cold night and these 2nd class seats
(approximately $15 US each) were a bit cold since
the windows didn't completely close.
I was recruited to help these students with their
English. They were on their way to Chiang Mai for interviews
for admission to a university. I certainly felt right
at home. They were sweet, earnest, and hopeful.
The waiting area of Hualamphong Railway Station
in Bankok where we relaxed for a few hours while
awaiting the departure of the overnight train to
Chiang Mai. Yellow shirted helpers were everywhere
available to help travelers. We even saw one diplomatically
inform a scantily-clad gringo that she might want to
cover up a bit.
