Good morning from Hua Lamphong Station. Today I’m on the Kiha-183 excursion train to Ayutthaya. This is a refurbished Japanese train that is used by the State Railway of Thailand as a tourist train doing excursions to different destinations every weekend. I will be doing most of these trips as part of my “Rail Tourism” project to promote eco-friendly and sustainable travel.

DATE OF TRAVEL: 25th March 2023
