Ep.104: You can ride cool trains 🚂 from Thailand into Laos. Here's how, and what you can see! 🚆
We take you up through the Thai rail system and into Laos using the Laos-China Railway, showing you attractions that are easy to experience along the way.
Plus, the Fat Man is under pressure from the Kraken AND his Mother in Law.
Come see...
- Bangkok, Thailand
- Nakon Rakisma (นครราชสีมา), Thaliand
- Nong Khai (หนองคาย), Thailand
- Thanaleng Border Crossing (ດ່ານຊາຍແດນ), Laos
- Vientiane (ວຽງຈັນ), Laos
- Luang Prabang (ເມືອງຫຼວງພະບາງ)
The rail highlight is the Boten-Vientiane railway (or Laos-China Railway) high speed (up to 160km per hour) train running through Laos, which opened in December 2021. This website gives good information on timetables etc: hobomaps.com/Lao-ChinaRailwayInfo.html
When it first opened, it was difficult for foreigners to get tickets. So, we were keen to experience it.
You'll see lots of different features in Thailand and Laos including food, culture, boats, a war museum, historic architecture, and even a sacred cave!
