by gum it's a long time since i was in Kanchanaburi ..... 1987 to be precise , on our way then to the bridge on the river Kwai and we took a long tailed boat up to the bridge .... amazing movie Geoff keep it up .....
i did that trip years ago geo ff --enjoyed it too--stayed at my bar girls sisters place in katchanaburi,for a few nights , it was alright apart from the dogs barking and roosters crowing all ruddy night
A brilliant vid Geoff, when I did Kanchanaburi last Sept from Pattaya for 2 nights, the trip cost me 4000 baht including a few trips, may do it again this year, but your way, far cheaper, will you be in Pattaya late sept/Oct, would love to buy you a chang..
Great movie Geoff baby. You and Michael Portillo should hook up for a tour, great double act that would be! Wonder who the straight man would be???? Wahey!! More train journeys please Geoffrey sir x
Nice video Geoff. I especially liked the views of the countryside from the train. I remember back in the mid 90s taken a 3rd class from Khon Kaen to Nong Khai with my wife and 4 year-old. Even rougher wooden seats at that time. One thing the video can't capture with regard to those open/missing windows are the smells of the rural countryside. Foremost to me was the smell of smoke. Cooking, burning rubbish, burning brush.
Thonburi station as is, wasn't the end of the line originally, but was Bangkok Noi. The original Thonburi was around half a mile further on, right on the river front. The station building survives and i think is a museum, there's an old demic steam loco outside.....
The easy way from Sukhumvit to Thonburi is to get the blue Underground MRT line to Bang Khun Non, for probably around 50 Bhat. From there its a 5 min walk to Thonburi, or wait at the Thonburi line platforms next door to the MRT line station, and jump on your train there...... You save yourself best part of a tenner......
I liked your chanel. You presented primitve form of Thai life and the sound of train and both sides of the railway reminded me of the rulal country where i live when i was young
Nice one Geoff. If you are still there, make sure you go onto the Aussie memorial beyond the end of the line at the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum. Beautiful and moving place, just get a taxi from the end of the line.
It is quicker and much cheaper to get to Thonburi station (Bangkok Noi) by Skytrain (BTS) from Sukhumvit to Saphan Taksin station, then get a River bus 15 baht to Tha Rot Fai pier (for Thonburi railway station). Tha Rot Fai pier is the stop after Wang Lang pier and on the opposite side of the river from Tha Maharaj pier where tourists go to the Royal Palace. The train station is a short walk from the pier. Google map is good for this.
Yep them seats are a bit hard after a while. Took the train across the bridge and down the track a few years ago now, really must do it again as a great experience.
This brings back some wonderful memories of travelling through Thailand, and I did the same journey except I left from Kanchanaburi and travelled along the "Death" railway over the famous bridge. Very interesting vlogs Geoff keep it up.
Awesome buddy .. Iam also a regular backpacker and never believe in these publicly post vdos. But your number makes me like woowww.. U gave every details of travel in a natural way.. Kudos .. Subscribed n became ur fan . M moving tomorrow
Good one Geoff its great fun on those old Trains just dont get carried away sticking your head out of the window could get decapitated 5555 ... also you got to admire Thai pricing sometimes cost me 120baht from BKK to Pattaya on a aircon bus then baht bus drivers want 150baht to take you 1 mile down road to your hotel 5555
Another great video geoff. I went to koh chang after seeing your videos and it really is a beautiful place. Back again in April for songkran (I really enjoy the songkran atmosphere) and will look at a trip to kanchanaburi. When are you next over any chance of you been there in April? Changs on me if you are 😃
It only costs 15 baht to get to Ayuttaya from Bangkok on the train. Make sure and visit Erewan falls when you're in Kanchanaburi...you won't be disappointed.
Hey Geoff! Why did you go to who know what (Bangkok Noi) train station? The train leaves Hua Lamphong (BKK central Rail station) which you can easily reach by BTR from Suhkumvit. ...or have there been any changes wrt departing station?
geoff! you are tops man! a great nice friendly happy guy and very informative! i been to thailand twice and you make sick with envy! hahah keep em coming north west's finest!! ME LOVE THE VIDS MAK MAK!!
I would do that. Similar to the Pattaya to Bangkok train. Good for an adventure. Do recommend a seat cushion of some sort or your carry on bag if it can be used as a seat cushion
This world needs another billion or two Geoff's
Great Info Mr Carter, simply the best, better than all the rest, looking forward to the next one

Geoff . your unbridled enthusiasm for Thailand is what makes you probably the best vlogger out there.
i did that trip years ago geo
ff --enjoyed it too--stayed at my bar girls sisters place in katchanaburi,for a few nights , it was alright apart from the dogs barking and roosters crowing all ruddy night
Nice one Geoff, keep saying we will visit Kanchananburi by train every time we travel to LOS. Will do next year!

Nice one Geoff. If you are still there, make sure you go onto the Aussie memorial beyond the end of the line at the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum. Beautiful and moving place, just get a taxi from the end of the line.
I agree Ed,, it is an exceptional experience; except it isnt just an Aussie thing...UK, Dutch, Thai and not forgetting the East Island soldiers.
Thanks Geoff. Love seeing the trains and other travel options. Informative.
Good little movie Geoff
