Goodbye Bangkok, I’m Going Home.

Goodbye Bangkok, I’m Going Home. by Vardhana.
30 December 2007. train was going from Hue Lum Pong, BKK to Nong Kai.
this train was crowded with people who need to go home on new year.
i think, take the train or bus on new year is the last choice for all people.
specially, low cost bus and third class train.

there is something hiding behind the words, “low cost bus and third class train”.
it’s about social issue in Thailand. i don’t know why?, we have a lot of money for building the roads and express ways in BKK. but we don’t have a money for changing social services for people who can not buy a car.

there is something hiding behind the words, “new year” too.
no matter what you are, poor or rich…etc.
new year is a time to be with the people you love and family.
no matter what the means is.
at the end of this journey, all we need is the samething.

Beautyful noir... :)

"blue and hopeless"
This is what I feels when I saw this pic
Don't know what am I supposes to?
feels like everything's so far away.
Surely, I give up...

Maybe... I'm just tired.

I think I've sit for a while*

Nice shot and nice text..

I was back home on 12-13 Jan 2008 instead of new year... and I was travelling by train too..
However I used the service of air-fan sleeping coach.. It was very hot when I close the curtain and I gave my lower bed to the old man and took his upper bed instead.. and it was very hot then..
I selected this instead of aircon bus.. because I think I could sleep better..
It's not a matter of price exactly but I love the feeling of being in the train.. love the sound, how it sways, the real bed not seat-bed of bus and the feeling "back to the past"
I think the train has it own charming and sometimes I used bus too.. I loveo to see people get in and out...
Last month I traveled in BKk by bus... I like to see that I can live in all situation..
