There’s something romantic about hooking up with an good ol’ diesel locomotive. Except for this particular little engine unhitched and snuck off just three stops toward Ayutthaya stranding us with no locomotive in north Bangkok. We could have Tuk Tuk’d that far. Plus we didn’t even get lunch out of the deal – some engines are just weak.



Luckily after a couple hours and as many beers, rescue came in the arrival of a proper powerplant. This engine treated us right while pulling us through to the ancient city.
