Thailand and Vietnam revive authentic slow travel with scenic new rail journeys.
Getting on a train is like nothing else. Crossing Southeast Asia will show you just how special something that was once special has become a full-blown movement. Taking a train grounding after the stress of the airport is probably exactly how travel ought to be; slow, focused on the soul of the world, and grounded. Idle heritage train routes, which have traditionally been weighed down by transport that is fast and furious, are starting to become more attractive for slow and mindful travel. The restoration of railways and old train tracks ceases to be old-time point to point transport and starts to become mobile cultural sanctuaries. This is not only creating new opportunities but provides more financial sustainability to rural and low-resource areas and fundamentally reshapes how we travel.
