While train travel was once a popular mode of transportation, its popularity has been steadily declining. As a child, I frequently traveled by train, often sleeping in a corner until reaching my destination. I have witnessed the evolution of train travel throughout my life. As I grew older and developed a passion for travel, trains became a regular mode of transportation for me.

Recently, the State Railway of Thailand has been developing tourist trips. Pan believes that this is to promote people to travel by train more, which has been successful. Especially for those who enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle, those who like to relax, and train enthusiasts, they will definitely love it. So, let's start with the first route, shall we?
