🎥 Some of the most spectacular scenery on the Vietnamese railway is just to the north of Da Nang. Here the train hugs the coastline for much of the way, though sometimes taking a diversion through the jungle, crossing bridges over gorges and through tunnels. #Trains #Vietnam

🇱🇦 7 reasons why I think day trains in #Laos are a better experience than #Thailand: ✅ Modern trains ✅ Have 1st and Business Class ✅ Have dining cars ✅ You can drink beer ✅ There is free hot water ✅ The ride is much smoother ✅ Toilet doors slide open ✅ Trains are faster

🇰🇭 In #Cambodia, they are still doing test runs for the #Kiha183 trains. This is to do with training and safety as well as checking on timing for timetables. There will be two classes of carriages which are 1st and 2nd Class with air-conditioning. Expected to start in mid-July.

🎥 SE5 train just after it left Hanoi Railway Station at 3:30pm on its way south to Saigon. (Never walk with your back to these locomotives. Face the the train and stand well back.) #Trains #TrainStreet #Vietnam
