  • Abandoned train station

    Abandoned train station

    This reminded me a lot about being at Sibiu last year. The tracks are long forgotten. The railway between Bangkok and Battambang isn’t running since the civil war broke out the premises are abandoned and don’t serve any other purpose than providing a nice afternoon trip. The idea of a perfect cycle path from Bangkok…

There is a small alley parting the temple from the close by residencies and this small alley allows you to enter the premises without problems at night. A…
