How it all began....
Saturday morning...
aunt & me took a bus from Ipoh to Butterworth to catch the 13:20 train to Bangkok....
The Butterworth main train station...
Train 36 to Bangkok will be arriving at platform 2....
All aboard!! We're ready to go go go....
So we boarded the train... what to do in the train for 20 hours??
First we.......
Make ourselves comfortable....
A little view of the train compartment.....
(in the evening, the two facing seats are converted into a bed,
and the top pulled down to form the upper berth....)
Enjoy the passing scenery.....
Nice paddy fields along the way....and a nice rainbow round the bend too!
Train stops and food comes to us...
You could also order food from the food coach, to be delivered to your seat...
You could also enjoy any yum yum food you bring along from home...
After you eat...you will of course need this....
This is how you do it....
(hold on tight...so you wont....you know...
it's a fast moving train you know :)
Remember to wash your hands after... ;)

Slept like a baby la....
In the morning.....wake up to some breakfast in bed... :D
Nice scenery is complimentary...
We're almost there...

(plus another 3 hours of delay...)
After checking into the hotel....we got straight down to business...
