Amazing train ride and look at those Amazing Views, unspoilt and the locals are so lovely and friendly. ❤❤❤❤ xxxx

[@FrugalTravellers]

We totally agree, Susan! It was such a brilliant experience... and there are some more great Sri Lanka train journeys coming soon 🤗😍♥️🇱🇰

[@carolinacadabra8278]

Great train journey! Spectacular views and unexpected comfort in third class.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Yes it was so much more comfortable than we'd expected, Carolina! Such a great experience 😍🤗🇱🇰

[@mydogsmells1733]

Hi Mandy wnd Lee! I hope you're doing well. Thank you for another wonderful train video!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello MyDog 👋 It was great to see you on the Premiere chat today. Thank you so much for your lovely comments and such wonderful support 🙏🤗

[@pedrapgwilym1341]

Enjoyed your video!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Excellent, we're glad you enjoyed it!

[@lucchese20]

Wow-you got a great fare on new rolling stock and great views! Very impressive. 😊 Especially liked the ‘bum gun’ feature. 😂 Happy Easter. 🐣

[@FrugalTravellers]

Train travel in Sri Lanka is amazing, Maurice, and we thoroughly enjoyed the journeys we went on, with some very comfortable trains 🤗🚂 Wishing you a very Happy Easter as well 🐰🐣

[@nisarpasha3185]

Lovely 😍 🙏

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much, Nisar 🙏🤗🇱🇰♥️

[@SERGIO-cr6uy]

Hello Mandy & Lee, , What a nice train ride, the scenery is beautiful. In fairness I expected the train to be way more packed than it was. Hope you guys are doing, Feliz Páscoa 🎉

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello SERGIO 👋 This train wasn't so packed... we had to stand for a few hours on another journey, so I guess it's all about choosing the right day and time. Sri Lanka is beautiful, and the more videos we edit, the more I want to return 🇱🇰♥️ Feliz Páscoa to you too, and thank you for your wonderful comment 🙏🤗🐣🐰

[@juliehawkes1050]

Many thanks, Julie, and the same to you xx🙏🤗

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks for the vicarious trip :)

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much for joining us 🙏🤗

[@DebyColes]

I have train trip envy. Some of my best travel memories have been of amazing train travel - even the 3rd class really uncomfortable ones still enjoy the same view.

[@FrugalTravellers]

All the Sri Lankan train trips we took were remarkable in their own way. It's a wonderful country for this travel. The journeys are not too long so a little discomfort isn't an issue. The people you come across in 3rd class also seem to be the friendliest and most approachable. It's awesome and just leaves me wanting to return and cover the whole network. 😍

[@lbunnygordon1133]

Rained so bad when reached hillstation but still experience. Do you have any vlogs from India at all or did you visit before internet days..😊

[@FrugalTravellers]

That's a bummer about the rain but it's great that you still viewed it in a positive way 🤗👏 We were in India in 1996, so it was the dawn of emails... not that we had an email address at the time! 🤣 We're actually looking at going to India this year! 😊😁

[@damithperera9759]

Wow......😍

[@FrugalTravellers]

I know! Such spectacular scenery 😍👌🇱🇰♥️

[@allthings5358]

This is awesome

[@FrugalTravellers]

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much 🤗🙏

[@lbunnygordon1133]

How much was tuk tuk .they always rip me off with like 5gbp for 3 minutes..any suggestions how xan avoud this as defeats my budget totally which is frustrating! Train is best way to travel..

[@FrugalTravellers]

It was a free lift to the station as he was just leaving the guesthouse to start work... yet another reason why we loved staying there! We always recommend doing some research to finding the best taxi app for a country before you get there, and in Sri Lanka that was the PickMe app for reliability and cost.

[@ChamathMadusanka-js1ii]

❤

[@FrugalTravellers]

It was so much fun meeting you all on the train! Such lovely, friendly guys 🤗🇱🇰♥️

[@ChamathMadusanka-js1ii]

Yah me too 😁, Come again to Sri Lanka.😁🤝 We will definitely meet😁🤩❤️

[@suriniwijesuriya1407]

I've been watching a couple of your videos and you guys eat such cheap food! It looks incredible but did you have any run ins with food poisoning or stomach upset? Thanks for the videos they are incredibly informative :)

[@FrugalTravellers]

We are so pleased that you have been enjoying our Sri Lanka series, Surini... there are more videos to come, so keep watching 🤗🙏 We didn't have any stomach issues for the whole 7 weeks we were in Sri Lanka. The food and smoothies were just so fresh and healthy, being very much plant-based, so we felt even better than before 👏💯... and that was even after I'd been diagnosed with breast cancer 🎀 ~ Mandy

[@trave7644]

Your videos need have more focused themes like food, or lodging, etc. Food tasting videos have more views. It seems your videos are just flitting from one to the next scene too quickly. I would suggest more focus on one of two things you do per video and not try to cover everything thing.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello & thank you for your suggestions. I understand what you mean, and if our goal was to have a million subscribers and views, then that's what we'd do... BUT we want to show people how we can travel on a budget, and how wonderful the world is! I don't just want to make a food video or a lodging video of a place... I want to share the whole experience. ~ Mandy

[@sunaryonoyono3794]

Video yang bagus .

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thanks 🙏 Glad you like it. Bagus 👍

[@hasanthaperera400]

wooow

[@FrugalTravellers]

It is such an amazing train journey, Hasantha 🙏🤗🇱🇰♥️

[@tatianaschoenfield9819]

Hello guys, what month did you travel there?

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Tatiana. We spent 7 weeks travelling in Sri Lanka, in June & July.

[@AS72831]

Why didn’t you splash out to first class when it’s so cheap??! Don’t worry I already know the answer 😉 “frugal travellers”

[@FrugalTravellers]

Excellent answer 🤗🤣👏 We had such an amazing time travelling on the trains in Sri Lanka, and the next time we're there, we'll definitely try first class 🇱🇰😊

[@lbunnygordon1133]

They are on strict budget. .Why 1st class looks very comfy already..

[@PlanetImo]

Wow what cheap train fare!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Train travel, actually all travel, is so inexpensive in Sr Lanka, which is why we'll definitely go back, and are recommending it to everyone. Sure, it can be super hot in some places, but as you'll see in our Nuwara Eliya videos coming soon, it's just like a mini Britain, and it gets so cold there! It could be a great option for you & IB 🤗✈️

[@sacnan]

I honestly hate such tourist though inspite of the fact that they can afford traveling in higher class they travel in lower class to crowd it more leaving no space for poor people who can only afford traveling third class

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you for your comment.
