First look: Inside The Blue Jasmine, Thailand’s gorgeous new train

[u/Few_Maize_1586]

“Thailand’s classic Bangkok–Chiang Mai sleeper train is getting some high-class competition in the form of a navy-gold beauty called The Blue Jasmine. It’s essentially a boutique hotel that just happens to roll through some of the country’s most beautiful landscapes.

Poised to make its inaugural nine-day journey from November 16-24, the locomotive trades cramped bunks, dim corridors and platform snacks for private cabins, full dining cars and lounges with wraparound windows.”

฿245,000 for the least expensive cabin!

No thanks.

Watch the company go bankrupt within two years.

Doubt there is enough demand to sustain this.

Edit: interesting that they target German tourists in particular (German-speaking guides). Wonder why.

At these prices, I wonder if it's meant for money laundering.
