Fascinating footage - a real shame that so many cities did away with their tram networks. Thought this was going to be a cat free edition so good to see they got a mention! I remember the Loughborough Junction deaths around 3 years ago
Pat in Thai railway heaven. His enthusiasm is infectious. Everyone into choo choos will luv this. Pat reveals his childhood as a graffiti artist and being electrocuted for his stupidity. He barely felt it. That might explain a lot Pat.
Michael Portillo eat your heart out ! 🤣 and not a Bradshaw's guidebook in sight ! 🤣🤣 PS when i was a kid in the 80's we had the red rattlers here in Sydney, doors didn't close ! Unthinkable these days . 🤣
Such a cool place would love to visit the Train Factory and look at the older engines. When I was young I would ride on the old New Haven Railroad outside of New York city and was often fascinated by the many types of trains. As young as ten years old would often take the train alone to the nearest city nearby for fifty cents and wander. Likely where I found my roots for traveling and by age thirteen I flew across America by myself and settled in Washington state. Getting ready for yet another long train trip in about a week . Guessing I have likely traveled more on the trains in Thailand than any foreigner over the last twenty some years. Another great show Pat.
Awesome video Bangkok Pat,I could really see the smile all over your face,trains make older guys (like me) become like a young toddler again,travelling in time…
Great vblog and love your tee shirt. When I lived in Islington for over 22 years , I often used Crouch Hill station. Finsbury Pk was my local tube station too.
Nice one Pat. Birmingham used to have great stations, when each railway company had its own station. Then some bright spark designed New St lol. They are incorporating the original Curzon St into the new HS2 station I think. I see there's a Parkland Walk in your old childhood haunts, that uses an old abandoned line. I never noticed it when I was a student down there, but then maybe it was full of crack dealers then? Will there continue to be a train from Don Muang airport to Hua Langphong Station, if you're saying the commuter routes may remain?
The Parkland Walk covered an old line that closed in the 60s, and is probably not a safe place in general particularly at night. Commuter trains will definitely call at Don Muang from Hua Lamphong.
Great Viewing Pat. A trillion years ago, I was a shunter / guard, at times the driver would let us drive the shunt loco in the yard. Great fun. You find some super content 👍👏👏
Good video. I miss the old sleeper train vibe, with their restaurant/party carriages. Nowadays the CP food and soft drinks doesn't really have the same appeal. At least the views are the same. Sunsets and sunrises inThailand from a train window should not to be missed.
Wow. So much of this resonates. I was a similar train buff as a young un and in later years had to try and chase off graffiti gangs as a supervisor on the tube. Right up there with your best work. Thanks as ever. I will pray the factory opens again for Goodebumps 2023 as I’d booked a night cruise on the Chao Phraya this year.
Wonderful news about Hualamphong, Pat. I'm more a fan of the 3rd class commuter trains amyway. You do fine work here, mate. Cathedrals such as this are meant to be admired.
Great tour of Makkasan. Thanks. Finally I am coming back to Bangkok after more than 2 years absence. I got my 6 month METV and just have to get my Thai Pass then heading back later in June. I missed Bangkok so much. Your videos repeatedly kicked nostalgia back into my consciousness many times.
G'Day pat , wow a train fetish lol , I think many of us love seeing these old trains as they do bring back many memories from yesteryear !! I too would love for this to become an annual event , seeing the old girls being brought back to their former glory, a testament of how they helped develop the country through the years, Catchya...
Not a train nerd at all, trains are the best way to travel. There was a train carriage for dining outside and part of The Wheelwrights Pub in Chingford, London where I grew up, of course its gone now
the thai royal air force museum is well worth a visit pat they have the very first F35 to roll off the production line and the kings personal huey helicopter complete with throne in the centre of it surrounded by purple curtains very regal it is too , lots to see and do , see you on the next video , your also lucky to alive mate after standing on the live rails id start buying lottery tickets if i were you ,take it easy
Bangkok Pat on the Vinegar Stroke in Bangkok could've been the title haha. I do like trains but I love history and old stuff in general; I even started collecting records again (I used to DJ too). I was hoping to see the train graveyard but maybe one day.... King Robbo RIP
Hi Pat, in your video you mentioned that the long distance trains would continue to leave from Hua Lamphong till September/October. I'm planning a trip on the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai in September and would love to leave from Hua Lamphong one last time. Is there somewhere where I could find information on the date when that ends? PS. I'm sure you noticed the sad passing of Fletch from Depeche Mode during the week.
Long time follower first time commenter.... great video about graff history and trains, my two loves of life as well, I grew up in Melbourne during the 80s the quintessential era of graf, so always keen to hear stories from that era, I am interested to know more about Makkasan train station, are these locos always on display, mega keen to check it out. Keep up this great channel, I often share your videos to friends and family back home, and where did you get that rad BTS T-shirt i want one
I searched for some railroad stuff in Bkk , but got balled out by the girlfriend I had at the time ! Awesome and thanks ! we call the big fans FOAMERS here !
@@ivanovichinus Thanks, that's Don Muang stationwith the remains of the unfinished Hopewell structures in the background. The SRT Red Line has now plunged all of that into shade now!
Fun, interesting and educational, indeed ! The term "vinegar stroke" (1:08) was an unexpected addition to my slang vocabulary, so thanks for that, too ! Kudos, man. Rex
I caught the train a couple of months ago from Hua Hin to Hua Lamphong Because I thought the Station was about to close. 42 Baht One way to Bangkok 6 hours 🥴🥴🥴 it was great👍👍👍👍 (I sure hope they don’t close The Pretty station in HH when the new one opens🙏🙏)
Nice job Pat ! I also heard about the Spiritual Festival last week but I missed that , too bad ! By the way, have you ever heard about there's a famous ghost hotel (4 Stars) at Makasaan ?
Hi Pat , love your vids .. The train that goes to Kanchanaburi on week days from Thonburi..i know of but do u know of a special train that goes there on Saturday from Hua Lamphong Station.. Ive heard about it but cannot seem to find a timetable about the Saturday trip .. Do u have any info on this ???
Right up my street this one, or should i say rail line! So you were one of those that scarred our unpainted aliminium Underground trains were you?.... I used to be a tube guard & driver, you were lucky to live after stepping on the juice rail and earthing youself with a train! Quite a few graffetti vandals killed themselves, either by getting in the way of a train (they are very unforgiving...) or tripping and landing on the juice rail. One supervisor told me human flesh burning smells just like roast pork! Not a nice way to go..... Looking at the venue, i can't imagine something quite like it happening here in the UK, the health & safety brigade will have palpatations for hours just watching this upload......
I only remembered it was on that morning! When I was feeling tingly in my hand, I could feel it getting stronger and my hand was sticking, if I'd not jumped away I would have no doubt got a blast.
No, it used to be where they manufactured trains. There's not an official museum there as it's not open to the public. That display area and lighting was created for the exhibition

If you're interested in UK retro bus and train footage then check out the Soi Buakao channel: th-cam.com/channels/wsWpJz29OHl2O8Rw0-E9bA.html
Thanks Pat. That channel is already bringing back memories of the nightmare comuteing to the west end in the 1980s !
Hello Sir, is this place open for public or students who want to visit and look around?
The electric shock was how Pat gained his superpower of always looking sharp in a very hot climate.
I have a sweat filter setting on the camera Simon.
Did not expect to hear about vinegar strokes...about trains today! 😆😆😆
Fascinating footage - a real shame that so many cities did away with their tram networks. Thought this was going to be a cat free edition so good to see they got a mention! I remember the Loughborough Junction deaths around 3 years ago
Not entirely a cat free zone for the wrong reasons! Cheers Neil.

Certainly great fun! We took many risks to get our tags up. Crazy. I was 13/14yrs old

Portillo is more enthusiastic than me and my next video I am brandishing a book!
Another uncommon production. Thank you for sharing your interests and talent. Cheers.
Thanks Michael, this and certain other videos may not get views but the trick is to do your own content.

Nice place. I saw it every day from my balcony. I wish I would go there and make alot of photos. I love these old, rusty trains.
They made the place look lovely for the festival, don't know when they'll open it again to the public though.
OMG! I love this train factory! A true gem! Such a hip place!
Thanks, it was fun!
Awesome video Bangkok Pat,I could really see the smile all over your face,trains make older guys (like me) become like a young toddler again,travelling in time…
It was great fun I must admit but some of the trains could do with a good dusting inside....
Always interesting and you present like a pro. And not a mention of bar fines or 'dating' in Nana Plaza. Great.
Great vblog and love your tee shirt. When I lived in Islington for over 22 years , I often used Crouch Hill station. Finsbury Pk was my local tube station too.
Thanks Jim, I'm a local lad!
Been in Melbourne public transport for 12 years and understand your excitement!!
Crouch hill, fantastic, i lived in crouch end twice, great part of London
Very interesting Pat. Thanks for the videos
Thanks Alex!
Thanks for the upload. I love the trains.

Last time I used the sleeper was 2003, it was one long happy hour all the way.

nice to know the history of rail ways in Thailand cool
Thanks! A fun day it was!
Great upload. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Steve.
It was a pleasure bumping into you before. Keep up the good work ⚫️⚪️
You too, cheers, surprising given that part of the city!
That was cool! Never figured you for a train spotter! 🤣
Sheldon would have loved that video.😆 Summer.
Looks awesome! Thanks Pat.
Ah Pat. Racking cans and sneaking into the layups. Those were the days. Your videos get better and better

Wish I could have been there to see this place👍
"Called me a casual". Had to look that one up. There, I learned something today. BTW, that vintage tram footage was awesome.
WOW, you were so lucky at the depot not to get fried up !!
Thanks Pat. Great video........Sal : )
Great video Pat ! Your content is excellent ! Always
OK Pat, so you were a DJ and a graffiti guy... have you ever been a B-Boy?
Excellent video as always.
I was terrible at breakdancing I'm afraid.
@@BangkokPat Me too ;)
Wonderful news about Hualamphong, Pat. I'm more a fan of the 3rd class commuter trains amyway. You do fine work here, mate. Cathedrals such as this are meant to be admired.
I never ride on the Sprinter or any of the air-con trains for numerous reasons.
O did enjoy it, thank.
This is a really cool place thanks as always Pat
Cheers.
New to your channel. Very enjoyable. You deserve way more than 13k subs
Welcome and thanks for the kind words Tim. There's a lot of new videos coming this month!

My favorite Paradox' song is ผงาดง้ำค้ำโลก and their most popular would be ฤดูร้อน or Sexy they were so famous for Thai teens around 2000s

Ruu Doo Raun in the best song from Paradox :)
Great video Pat.👍
Super. 👍
the thai royal air force museum is well worth a visit pat they have the very first F35 to roll off the production line and the kings personal huey helicopter complete with throne in the centre of it surrounded by purple curtains very regal it is too , lots to see and do , see you on the next video , your also lucky to alive mate after standing on the live rails id start buying lottery tickets if i were you ,take it easy
Was great video Pat. 👍
I almost made it there at the weekend to see the old trains... laziness won unfortunstely, so I will enjoy this Nice one...
Well worth it if you're a rail fan!

1:50 one of them is still functional as a shunter at Nakhon Lampang station.
I should have visited the fair, nade me feel bad. 😁 Hope they will organize it again next year.
There was only one ferris wheel
Enjoyed this video Pat ! Nice one .. 👊
4:35 thats the guys from Hackers(1995) far left standing next to a young Ewan McGregor from the movie trainspotting.
Thanks , information 😯😉🤙
Wow. I thought there were derelict trains at Makkasan - this is a museum. Wonder how often they open this.
They made it look flashy and clean for the festival, it's normally a bit ramshackle.

Looking at the title, Pat has used yesterday's poll results to his advantage! XD
Paradox's most famous song is probably "Sexy". .. good lyrics about hip wiggling.
Thanks Ivan, will google that!
@@BangkokPat TH-cam it, mate. You will appreciate the train tracks in the video. Perhaps you know where they shot it.

This is Paradox's famous song called "SEXY".
@@ivanovichinus Thanks, that's Don Muang stationwith the remains of the unfinished Hopewell structures in the background. The SRT Red Line has now plunged all of that into shade now!
Great Video as usual always look forward to being notified However this must be the first one without a live cat appearing in shot
Cheers John, I'm glad there wasn't a cat in sight!
The Davenport looks a bit like a Class 33
Fun, interesting and educational, indeed ! The term "vinegar stroke" (1:08) was an unexpected addition to my slang vocabulary, so thanks for that, too ! Kudos, man. Rex

Nice one. Where was the open day advertised?
Richard Barrow mentioned it, all the publicity otherwise was only in Thai
@@BangkokPat it was mentioned on Thaiger too, about a week ago as I recall...I seem to remember it being said it might be a yearly event.
Hi Pat , love your vids ..
The train that goes to Kanchanaburi on week days from Thonburi..i know of but do u know of a special train that goes there on Saturday from Hua Lamphong Station.. Ive heard about it but cannot seem to find a timetable about the Saturday trip .. Do u have any info on this ???
How can you find the graveyard with class 158's in Thailand?
I believe that's Makkasan that has that, which is out of bounds I'm afraid.
R.L. Stine should have been there.
I like garratt and mogul
Food, live music, and trains! I love trains, trams and subways. Great video, cheers. /r/fuckcars/
Can't ask for more!
It is a shame cities moved away from trams.

How the fk did you not get burnt to a crisp on the live rail.
I assume your trainers didn't conduct the current. Lucky boy...
My trainers helped but it was so strong that a slight current was still being felt
wot ..... no Gost Train !
I didn't see one, unless I missed it of course.
Train factory ? don't you mean train museum?
No, it used to be where they manufactured trains. There's not an official museum there as it's not open to the public. That display area and lighting was created for the exhibition
@@BangkokPat Ahhhh Okay thanks. Interesting though.
People who collect train numbers are really strange!
