World’s Toughest Trains | Thai Rail: The Death Railway | Free Documentary



The State Railway of Thailand is more than a network of colorful trains—it’s a journey through history, culture, and resilience. Traversing the famed Death Railway, these trains wind through ancient landscapes, historic tunnels, and across raging rivers, connecting past and present. Built under harrowing conditions during World War II, the railway stands as a testament to human endurance and the enduring spirit of those who laid its tracks. Each trip offers a window into Thailand’s rich heritage and the natural beauty of its countryside, turning every ride into a passage through time and memory. Hosted by Teddy Wilson, the documentary first aired in Canada October 2019.

【马中骑行第52天】在清迈待了三天,是时候继续往北骑行。

泰国海关骗中国游客小费,中国游客据理力争,钱能要回来吗?


我们结束了泰国金三角的旅程,前往老挝,出泰国海关时,海关官员居然骗我们的钱,不是强行收小费,而是骗小费,从泰国到老挝,要坐轮渡。我们在泰国海关办理出关手续时,海关人员索要我们100泰铢,我们问这是什么钱,他们说是船票钱,我们奇怪为什么海关要收船票钱,但想这是海关,总不会骗人,于是给了,结果去坐船,船长告诉我们还要买票,一阵沟通后,我们才知道,真的被骗,我们能从泰国海关要回被骗的钱吗?跟着我们开始今天的旅行吧。

【马中骑行第49天】半年不到又踏足清迈,今晚住进了一家性价比极高的住宿,一晚只需马币八块钱!!
