17 Apr 2016 : Himalaya Ride 16 - Hatyai Railway Station - Bike Transfer From Hatyai To Nakhon Pathom

Reason why bike transfer
  • To many riding along this stretch.


Dealing with cargo counter Thailand Railway at Hatyai.
  • They followed by book and not really customer orientated. 
  • Not well understand English. 
  • Sometimes spoke Thai if something not to her favourable. 
  • Unfortunately a pretty  lady helping us to be a translator. 
  • Even she shaked her head - sign of unhappiness to the answer from a lady staff.


Issue at counter
  • Firstly they wanted us to purchase ticket in order to book cargo. 
  • Only available on 20 April 2016. 
  • Bought ticket. 
  • Then went to cargo counter for booking. 
  • The lady told us - no booking and must come morning of 20 April 2016 to surrender bikes but no assurance that bikes will be accepted. 
  • We decided to meet Station Master Mr Eid which he promised us for sure space of 3 bikes on that date.
