Taking the night train to Chiang Mai is a classic Thailand experience 🌙🚆 Book early & you’ll snag a sleeper berth & wake up refreshed. Wait too long & it’s 13 long hours in an uncomfortable chair. ☹️ Choose wisely.

Bangkok’s iconic tuk tuks once served locals, but today they’re largely a tourist experience. Often pricier than rideshare apps like Grab & requiring negotiation, they’ve declined as everyday transport. Less practical, but still pure #Bangkok charm.

At first glance, “Mann Filter” in Thailand sounds like it judges gender. 😄 Mechanics nod, drivers worry. Relax—no identity crisis here. It’s a German-engineered hero that traps dirt and grime, keeping cars, trucks, and machines running clean & smooth.
