Train station

We saw the train station the other day - it looked pretty much the same as it did 12 years ago when we were last in Bangkok.  They've added a subway stop at the corner of the station, but walking through it felt the same, and brought back memories of preparing for our train to Surat Thani.  It was so romantic taking a train through the Thai countryside - we took an evening train, so we slept in our compartment as the train gently rocked back and forth and clacked rhymically.  I remember waking up in the middle of the night when we had stopped for a time, and looking out the window at the stars in the sky.  I had never seen so many stars - there was no light pollution from any neighboring towns.  I also remember eating breakfast on the train the next morning as we went past rice paddies - beautiful.  

We might have to take a train to somewhere in Thailand at some point.
