Train Travel from Bangkok-Hat Yai- Kuala Lumpur- Woodlands Singapore

Hualmphong Station

After a looong train ride from Bangkok to Hat Yai it was 18 hours in total I'm finally in the southern part of Thailand. Hat Yai.
The train has reclining seats non air conditioned.

The pros its cheap and I get to see countryside.
Cons are people are coming in and out so be vigilant and secure your belongings.Washroom are OK I still managed to take a bath using badey since the water running on the shower is very weak.

A person is never as quiet or unrestrained as they seem, or as bad or good, as vulnerable or as strong, as sweet or as feisty; we are thickly layered, page lying upon page, behind simple covers. And love - it is not the book itself, but the binding. It can rip us apart or hold us together...Layers, by their nature, are fragile things. Cheap Flights to Bangkok
