]]> Thu Dec 1 2005 Bangkok,Thailand Railways http://melbournetrains6153.fotopic.net/c780395.html Here are some pics from my adventure overseas. Bangkok,dirty,smelly and some of the worst traffic in the world BUT home of the new MRT Subway and Sky train. When i was staying in Bangkok i used the Sky train most of the time. This was fanstastic. It had no timetable,it just ran every 4 mins all day and night, it stopped at 12am and started at 6am. It was clean,fast and very well organised. What would take 45 mins in a taxi would take 10 mins by sky train. While here also i used the underground MRT, again this was the same as the sky train but under ground. The trains even looked the same as they were made by Siemen, the only difference being the colour of the seats. The Thai government plans to build another 7 underground lines and 2 sky train lines as one is being extended at the moment. The line i was staying on ran from Mo Chit to On Nuts, which was great as this line went to all the tourist attractions including the weekend markets,night markets and big shopping centers. For anyone going to Bangkok, i would ditch using a taxi or car and use the MRT or BTS Sky Train Thursday 1 December 2005: Here are some pics from my adventure overseas.
