Returning to Thailand: various styles of transport

These three video clips were taken as we left Cambodia to return to Thailand.
We traveled by: ancient stretch Mercedes (decadent); by tuk tuk (a scary experience in Bangkok traffic); and by overnight train (very comfortable, even in 2nd class).

In the last clip you might just make out that Mike managed to video the train attendant videoing him. The attendant then offered to show Mike some video on his mobile. Thinking it might be family snaps, Mike was happy to watch. . It turned out to be pornographic clips, badly shot. Maybe they were family shots after all.....


The train tickets cost us all of £24 for a 14 hour journey. The seats turned down into couchettes at night. We got clean bedding - and had the most comfortable sleep of our holiday so far.
