 Hualampong Station, Bangkok |
by Philip Game
Ride the Orient Express 1900 kilometres from Bangkok to Singapore. Be waited on, hand and foot for 41 hours as the rice paddies, rubber trees and rainforests of glide past your window… or why not experience the real thing and chop a few zeros off the cost?
Make the same journey in air-conditioned comfort – or in colourful, chaotic squalor, the choice is yours – on the State Railway of Thailand and KTM, the Malayan Railway, a network spanning Thailand and reaching across the Malaysian border, right down to Singapore.
