The crowded floating train offers no interesting sights to capture, except for the people themselves.



Many people may already know about the Pa Sak Cholasit Dam sightseeing train, also known as the "floating train." It's important to clarify that the train doesn't actually float on water like a duck. Instead, it runs on regular tracks that pass over the dam. However, since the tracks are surrounded by water, it creates the illusion of floating on the surface.



The one-month trip has been very popular, with inquiries about tickets for the February round starting at 4:30 PM. Please contact 1690 for more information, as I cannot provide specific details.



The popularity of this attraction has led to large crowds, with many visitors complaining about the congestion. Some have even found their photos ruined by the presence of other people. However, for those who frequently travel alone, like myself, the allure of a train journey is too strong to resist. I was determined not to miss out, even if it meant encountering large crowds and potential inconveniences. I accepted that crowds were inevitable and decided to embrace them by incorporating them into my photos.



This trip served as a photography learning experience, captured in a single day. All photos were taken with a Samsung phone and edited using VSCO. No fancy cameras were used, just a phone. This review may not be informative, but it features a collection of photos that might inspire those planning a trip and unsure of what to capture. Travel photography is a vibrant way to document your journey.



Traveling solo enthusiasts embarking on a group tour of the Pa Sak Jolasid Dam aboard a scenic train will find ample reviews online. Therefore, a detailed travelogue is unnecessary. However, securing tickets is paramount, as their scarcity and rapid sell-out pose a significant challenge.



On the morning of January 28th, 2017, I woke up late and was in a panic because I almost missed the 7:10 AM train. Fortunately, the train was delayed by 15 minutes, which saved me from missing it. I had previously missed the same train, which was a frustrating experience. The train slowly made its way through each station, picking up passengers along the way.

Once you board the train, a staff member will distribute the travel schedule.

Candid photography enthusiasts, beware: a train journey without capturing a single candid shot is a missed opportunity. These fleeting moments, brimming with life and vibrancy, offer a glimpse into the raw essence of human experience.

The seat I got wasn't ideal, so I wasn't able to capture many good photos. I also hesitated to extend my hand out the window to take pictures, as I didn't want to disturb others.

The handout provides an overview of today's activities. Follow the itinerary: observe and photograph the train parked in the middle of the dam, have lunch, explore the area, shop for souvenirs, and return by train. While this is the general plan, there are some important details to keep in mind. The weather is extremely hot, and the area is relatively arid, with less lush vegetation compared to northern routes. Therefore, it is essential to be prepared! Pack long-sleeved shirts, an umbrella, a hat, sunglasses, a scarf, and aromatic balms or inhalants. Dust and leaves may fly in while riding the train, so a mouth covering is also recommended. Dress comfortably and avoid high heels, as you may need to climb on and off the train during photo stops.

Upon reaching the dam, everyone screamed like crazy because of the hot weather. No, no, not because of the heat, but because the wind was blowing so hard. Judging from everyone's expressions, I think they liked it.

No need to worry if you fall, there are officers waiting to help. At most, you will be embarrassed and your communication device will be broken. And you won't want to ride the water train again. That's all.

The view is unobstructed and stretches as far as the eye can see. There are a few pillars that slightly obstruct the view, but overall, it is beautiful.

Food Break:

  • Be efficient: Due to the large number of tourists, including those arriving by car, it's crucial to avoid dawdling when choosing your meal. Make a quick decision after considering your options.
  • Time is of the essence: The wait for even simple dishes can be lengthy. If you want to catch the sightseeing tram, prioritize a quick meal or skip it altogether. Alternatively, consider bringing food from home to eat on the train (avoid strong-smelling options). You can also purchase tram tickets while waiting for your food.
  • Solo travelers: Don't worry about being alone. It's easier to find a table and you can join others, who might offer you snacks or invite you to explore together. They might be concerned about you being lonely, but you're comfortable and prefer solo photography.

The staff repeatedly announced the number of remaining rounds for train passengers and the time left before the final round at 13:30. The round-trip journey on the scenic train takes 50 minutes, which would cause passengers to miss the 15:00 train departure. It was crucial to trust the staff's calculations, as they had determined that there was not enough time. Some passengers were disappointed after the announcement, while others looked for places to eat. The wait was long due to the large crowd and the large orders placed by groups. As mentioned earlier, there were not only train passengers but also other visitors, including families. Some individuals stood in line to purchase 5-10 tickets, causing the tickets to sell out quickly.

The ticket only costs 25 baht. As I mentioned before, hurry up and buy your ticket as soon as you get off the train. Don't dawdle. I must say that although it's hot, the wind blows through the car, making the air very pleasant. Enjoy the view around the dam. There's a little guide who will tell you all about the places you pass, what the factories produce, and what the trees are. However, if you ask me now if I remember, I don't. 55555

The train passes on the right side. The younger sibling said that if the water rises, it will look like the train is floating on the water.

The tram ride to the dam does not offer views of the reservoir, but the return trip does. However, I find myself drawn to the view of the factory instead. Why is that?

This time, I didn't get to ride the tram. I'll have to come back again next time. I can't be picky. If I can't ride the tram, there's a museum, photo spots, a product corner, and an OTOP corner where they teach you how to make OTOP products. I could go and watch that. I only got to ride the tram. I haven't had time to see anything else. There are pros and cons.

Wait, don't go yet, it's not over yet.

For those who have arrived at Hua Lamphong, it's already dark, right? Don't forget to walk outside to take a picture of this angle. Oh, it's so cute.
