Thanks for the post L & M. You brought back pleasant memories of our meandering around Thailand a few years back.

Hello guys. I do love a train journey as I've just returned from 4 months travelling abroad travelling solo mostly in Europe. I did mostly trains and buses some of which were FlixBus!!I really admire you so much but I'm a 71yo woman and I'm afraid I would have opted for the 1hr15min flight haha. You guys are amazing and way more adventurous than I'll ever be. Can't wait to see the footage from Chiang Mai. Take care, Jill

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hi Jill. Lovely to hear from you. Well done, you! That is fantastic that you are still travelling overland on buses and trains at 71 years old. 👏😊. You are an inspiration to us and we can only hope we still have the energy to still be doing it in another 20 years time. 🙏. I wouldn't blame you for taking the flight on this one. There are always more comfortable sleeper berths available as an alternative. 👍 ~ Lee

[@andrerramadhan]

Oh my, seeing this video brings back lots of memories when I was living in Thailand. Sadly, taking train wasn’t one of them since I haven’t tried it yet. Hopefully will be back there soon and take the train to Chiangmai or Hat Yai.

[@lucchese20]

Thank you for sharing your experience by train between Bangkok and Chiang Mai. I agree with Lee-always try to take the train (if possible) by I’m fine with buses and ferries as well. 👍🏻 I did the same trip with the mrs and kids many years ago so we opted for a sleeper…since I generally don’t sleep well on overnight plane, bus or train rides and (most important) to avoid possible reprimands from the family! 😊 We arrived in CM about 4 hours late but in retrospect that wasn’t so much a bad thing since it was still morning. We had curtains on the sleeper so lighting didn’t bother us and don’t remember trains being that cold at night-perhaps since it was summertime. 🤷 The most trilling/unforgettable overnight train ride experienced was about 6-8 years ago in Burma from Rangoon to Bagan! While I don’t know what are the entry requirements these days, I hope you get (or have already) done this journey as well. BTW-We’re in PT right now for about a month and you’re both not here. 😢😢😢 Alas, looking forward to your continuing adventures in Thailand. Cheers. 👋🏻

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hi Lucchese. Well done for choosing the sleeper train with the family. That makes total sense and I bet you were a lot more comfy than we were. Ours was so cold because the window was stuck open and we had a freezing cold wind blowing in. 😳 We haven't been to Myanmar yet and really, really want to as soon as we are able to 🙏🙏 Enjoy Portugal 🇵🇹. We'll be hopping back to the many Middle Eastern videos we've made next before continuing with our Thailand ones. So much to show! 😊~ Lee

Next January I will travel in Thailand for 30 days and this time I will go to Chang Mai. Although I usually travel alone, I have a friend in Uttardit which is half way to BKK and Chang Mai, so for me I have only 2 x 5hrs train journeys.

What happens if you do touch a monk?

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Aimee. From my understanding, it's all about respecting monks on their path to enlightenment. They live a life of meditation, simplicity, awareness and concentration, and withdraw themselves from any feelings of lust or greed. Touching a female could cause feelings of lust, which could be a distraction from their path. It's one of the many fascinating things about Thai culture... avoiding coming into contact with men with shaved heads wearing orange robes. I'm sure there's far more to it than that, but I hope this answers your question 😀😁 ~ Mandy
