EP.1 - Traveling to Laos by train 🚆🇱🇦

Can you take a train from Thailand... to Laos?

Start this trip.

Choose to take a train from Thailand to Laos

It's not the fastest.

But I saw more along the way.

The two-sided view gradually changed.

From familiar... to another country

This journey

Probably not just "get to."

But really is to be with on the way. 📍

... Read moreการเดินทางด้วยรถไฟจากไทยไปลาวเป็นการทริปที่เต็มไปด้วยเสน่ห์และประสบการณ์ที่ไม่สามารถหาได้จากการเดินทางแบบอื่นๆ ผมเองเคยมีโอกาสนั่งรถไฟข้ามประเทศนี้ และบอกเลยว่าความรู้สึกช้าแต่มั่นคงของรถไฟช่วยให้เราได้ใช้เวลาตั้งแต่ต้นจนจบของการเดินทางมากขึ้น ระหว่างทางวิวสองข้างจะค่อย ๆ เปลี่ยนไปอย่างชัดเจนจากความคุ้นเคยในประเทศไทยไปสู่ภูมิทัศน์และวัฒนธรรมที่แตกต่างของลาว เห็นทั้งภูเขา ทุ่งนา และหมู่บ้านที่ยังคงความเรียบง่าย ทำให้รู้สึกเหมือนได้ย้อนเวลากลับไปสู่ธรรมชาติและวิถีชีวิตที่แท้จริงของผู้อยู่อาศัย นอกจากนั้น รู้หรือไม่ว่ารถไฟระหว่างประเทศ เช่น ขบวนเร็ว 133 ที่ออกเดินทางจากสถานีในไทยและมุ่งหน้าไปยังเวียงจันทน์นั้น มีกำหนดเวลาชัดเจนอย่างเวลาออก 21:25 น. แต่ก่อนขึ้นรถควรมาถึงก่อนเวลาประมาณ 15 นาที เพื่อเตรียมตัวและตรวจสอบสัมภาระ รถไฟเที่ยวนี้อาจไม่ใช่การเดินทางที่เร็วที่สุด แต่เป็นการเดินทางที่คุ้มค่า เพราะช่วงเวลาบนรถไฟทำให้เรามีโอกาสได้คิดได้ผ่อนคลาย และได้รู้จักกับเพื่อนร่วมทางที่ต่างมีเรื่องราวและเป้าหมายชีวิตที่หลากหลาย เป็นอีกหนึ่งประสบการณ์ที่เติมเต็มหัวใจของนักเดินทางผ่านการท่องเที่ยวเชิงวัฒนธรรมและธรรมชาติอย่างแท้จริง สำหรับใครที่กำลังมองหาทริปที่แตกต่างจากการนั่งเครื่องบินหรือรถโดยสาร การเลือกนั่งรถไฟไปลาวเป็นตัวเลือกที่ดีและคุ้มค่ามาก อย่าเพิ่งรีบไปถึงที่หมาย แต่ลองใช้เวลาสัมผัสทุกช่วงเวลาในระหว่างทางดู แล้วคุณจะพบว่าการเดินทางครั้งนี้เต็มไปด้วยความทรงจำที่น่าประทับใจและได้เรียนรู้สิ่งใหม่ ๆ มากกว่าที่คิด
