@Ajarncom I travelled to Istanbul from Bangkok last year – by train. And I didn’t get sick once. The Doğu Ekspresi – from Ankara to Kars – is one of the most spectacular train journeys in the world… /1

@titbit@bangkok_pat@BkkRiverBoat I’ve found hiring my own local helmsman best value all round: he does the hard work and I can provide my own commentary – or not, depending who I’m with. /3
@bangkok_pat Si Phraya (N3) was always my go-to for a few hours around the canals of Bangkok Noi and Bangkok Yai. Slip down the left hand-side of the Royal Orchid Sheraton (as you face the river) to get to it. The cost used to be 800-1000 THB, but I have feeling one may now pay 1500 THB.
