Travel Phitsanulok: Ride the Free Train from Phitsanulok to Nakhon Sawan
Ride the free train from Phitsanulok to Nakhon Sawan http://www.hotsia.com > Travel Phitsanulok > Ride the free train from Phitsanulok to Nakhon Sawan Mr. Hotsia explores Phitsanulok, recommends pork blood soup shops, good and affordable hotels in Phitsanulok, Je Huay's second branch for fried mussels, the new Phitsanulok bus terminal, P-One Hotel, Chang Phueak hotel - affordable and good, chicken biryani with oxtail soup, and a solo adventure on the free train. Everyone knows nowadays you can travel free nationwide on routes with railway tracks.
Because they offer free train service, I hadn’t ridden a train in years and wanted to try it out. So I decided to take the free train to see how it would be. I still remember when I took the train to Ubon Ratchathani for Air Force training. Today, I’m reminiscing again. Many don’t know that riding the free train doesn’t mean you just board the train. You must get a ticket at the ticket counter first to issue a boarding pass. If you don’t buy a ticket beforehand, I’m not sure if you’ll be fined.
After getting the ticket, you can board the free train. Free trains run on all lines across Thailand. The route I chose is from Phitsanulok to Nakhon Sawan, with one free train per day. This route passes the beautiful Bueng Boraphet lake, offering a unique view. The atmosphere on the train is like before, with vendors selling grilled chicken, sticky rice, boiled eggs, and drinks. It depends on the route; if going to the northeast, there’s more sticky rice and grilled chicken, while the northern routes have boiled eggs and fruits. On the Nakhon Sawan route, mochi is sold on the train.
The Thai train I saw was very clean. There was a staff member cleaning constantly. The floors were spotless, and the restrooms were clean. Kudos to the railway company for choosing such a dedicated employee who loves cleanliness and provides excellent service. I arrived in Nakhon Sawan in the evening and took a songthaew (shared taxi) to the city for 10 baht. I stayed at Grand Wisanu Hotel, which has Wi-Fi but it was slow and often disconnected, so it didn’t work well. If you stay here, choose the back building because the internet is better and faster. The price here is 450 baht per night.
For company groups, the rate is 350 baht per night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa1aFqgE740 Pay respects to Phra Buddha Chinnarat before departure. At Rim Nan Phitsanulok Hotel, there is Wi-Fi near Phitsanulok train station. The train schedule for the southbound or Bangkok-bound trains does not indicate which trains are free. This is what a free train ticket looks like. Get ready on the platform before boarding. Free train passengers sometimes carry betel nut baskets, which are rare to see nowadays. The view from the train window includes many temples. Bread is sold for 10 baht.
