Today, my railway journey from 🇹🇭 Bangkok back to 🇫🇷 Alsace finally begins.

Marking the start of my trip, I visited the Hua Lamphong railway station. The beautiful building with a huge departure hall, flowers and fountains is sadly only served by  commuter trains and the  subway in present times since the mainline operations were completely moved to the new Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal in 2016.

Nevertheless, the railway station nowadays hosting a museum with beautiful old Thai trains serves as an excellent location to start my trip : I will spend the next two weeks all on trains : Sleeper trains, high-speed trains and adorable regional trains will hopefully safely guide me for 17.000 km on rails spanning from Thailand via China, Siberia and the Ural to Europe.

ADHD packing list:

• 7 books you won’t read
• ipad full of movies/shows you won’t watch
• random crap that sounded important 5 minutes before you left
• extra toothbrush?

Stuff forgotten:

• toothpaste
• an entire category of clothing
• one REALLY important cable

"Choose" I think the word you were looking for there was "choose."
