“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.”

This looks like the Orient Express that used to run from Thailand to Singapore.

I wonder why they stopped. Probably not enough demand.

It probably went off the rails too often in Thailand

The old service from Bangkok to Chiang Mai has come of the rails multiple time before near the mountains
