Bangkok-Chiang Mai

They check our tickets, they check our seat numbers then the 12 hour train trip begins....
There's the occasional frangipani tree amongst the city-trackside squalor, and of course houses, shops and letter boxes. Address 255/77 railway line?  
Food and drink is provided by the trolley dollies, the fans do an almost-ok job of keeping us cool and its nice to just sit, read and watch the passing scenery. We're late arriving, the expected food vendors don't appear and no dinner is provided, but the trolley dollies go on a food dash from a station and return with instant soup and noodles. Lesson learnt? Always take more snacks than you think you need!
