Overnight train to Laos

The State Railways of Thailand are easily the best way to get around and see the country. Train travel in Thailand is comfortable, safe, cheap, environmentally friendly. It's a genuine Thai experience that makes the journeys as much part of your trip as the destinations... In fact, Thailand has one of the best metre-gauge rail systems in the world. Taking the train is the best way to travel between Bangkok & Nong Khai. Hop on the Bangkok-Nong Khai train, as Vientiane is just across the river.

We took the overnight train to the Friendship Bridge border crossing to the capital Vientiane of Laos. This photo was taken from the last railway carriage.

Het reizen per trein in Thailand is vooral voor langere trajecten zeer comfortabel. De slaapwagons zijn schoon en voorzien van airco. Sinds een paar weken is de nieuwe spoorwegverbinding tussen Thailand en Laos gereed. De trein rijdt via de Vriendschap Brug over de Mekhongrivier Laos binnen. De trein vertrekt om ca. 18.10 vanuit Bangkok uur en komt aan om ca. 05.45 uur.
