  • Thonburi Railways Station in Bangkok, also known as Bangkok Noi
    To Kanchanaburi by train only 100 Thai Baht. The train leaves Bangkok twice a day. 7.55am & 1.55pm Platform one. The journey takes around 2 hours 30 mins. It is a 3rd class journey with wooden seats, no air con, & open windows. Be sure to take on board some water as it gets hot. Refreshments are brought on board half way through the train ride. All in all a great little experience. I would definitely do it again.
    I hope you enjoyed the movie. if so, please share with all your friends, & family.
    if you would like to give a little something back for all my hard work, and information?
    There is now a way to help out towards costs of videos.
    As you probably appreciate, they take a lot of my time and effort.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • @tjmctube
    @tjmctube 6 лет назад +1

    Nice video Geoff. I especially liked the views of the countryside from the train. I remember back in the mid 90s taken a 3rd class from Khon Kaen to Nong Khai with my wife and 4 year-old. Even rougher wooden seats at that time. One thing the video can't capture with regard to those open/missing windows are the smells of the rural countryside. Foremost to me was the smell of smoke. Cooking, burning rubbish, burning brush.

    Thonburi station as is, wasn't the end of the line originally, but was Bangkok Noi. The original Thonburi was around half a mile further on, right on the river front. The station building survives and i think is a museum, there's an old demic steam loco outside.....

    A brilliant vid Geoff, when I did Kanchanaburi last Sept from Pattaya for 2 nights, the trip cost me 4000 baht including a few trips, may do it again this year, but your way, far cheaper, will you be in Pattaya late sept/Oct, would love to buy you a chang..

  • @SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus
    @SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus 4 месяца назад

    The easy way from Sukhumvit to Thonburi is to get the blue Underground MRT line to Bang Khun Non, for probably around 50 Bhat. From there its a 5 min walk to Thonburi, or wait at the Thonburi line platforms next door to the MRT line station, and jump on your train there...... You save yourself best part of a tenner......

    Once we drove from Kanchanaburi to my girlfriend's sister, 80 kilometers to the north.
    She and her daughter didn't have to pay anything for the ticket ( there are certain months where the travel is free for Thais). Of course I had to pay the 100 baht lol³ . Thanks for the video. :)

    @mylord8162 6 лет назад +1

    It is quicker and much cheaper to get to Thonburi station (Bangkok Noi) by Skytrain (BTS) from Sukhumvit to Saphan Taksin station, then get a River bus 15 baht to Tha Rot Fai pier (for Thonburi railway station). Tha Rot Fai pier is the stop after Wang Lang pier and on the opposite side of the river from Tha Maharaj pier where tourists go to the Royal Palace.
    The train station is a short walk from the pier. Google map is good for this.
