About 1970/73, I travelled Singapore to Bangkok 2nd class sleeper and vice versa several times. No A/C, open windows, great buffet car, could have a beer with meals. A long trip but being young, I enjoyed it immensely.
It must've taken very long to reach Bangkok from Singapore by train at that time! But it sounds enjoyable if we're just slow pace and enjoying the journey 😊
@@zeddlextravels There was a break in Butterworth so it was two or three days all up. The Thai train used to go all the way to Butterworth from Bangkok with customs and immigration still at Pedang Besar and vice versa.
I tried long time ago. But it was from Butterworth, Penang to Bangkok. Never again . The long journey was excruciating and tiring. Not for faint hearted
I have done the Butterworth to Bangkok Hua Lamphong and Butterworth - Hua Hin back in in the 90s, when SRT trains can be board in Butterworth. Indeed an experience. I will do it again when I am retired.
Nice vid... Back in 2018 I travelled from Hua Lomphong Station to Hatyai Jct to Padang Besar to Kuala Lumpur and proceeded further south on a commuter service to Pulau Sebang/Tampin then to Gemas on a Southern intercity train then from Gemas to my hometown Jerantut Pahang on the ERT train. My total journey was a long and tiring 37hrs, but I enjoyed it.
