    Wish I was there!

    I always pay a visit to Thonburi when I visit Thailand. It is one of railways hidden gems and should be much better known. The staff are really friendly and let you wander anywhere you like taking pictures. Keep posting pictures of the active steam locos when they are running. They always seem to run when I'm not there!

    I'd like to conclude the run with this

    [​IMG]

    Unfortunately, My train limped Into Rang Sit for a very long troubleshooting(Poor steaming), so when the stationmaster annouced that Train 146 (Ubon Ratchathani-Bangkok) is the last inbound of the day, I changed the train and get home
