Today, September 16th, 2019, the weather in Pathein is fair and good to travel. My childhood friend and I decided to take a train journey to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Myanmar countryside.
We decided half a day ride from Pathein to Yegyi and return.
We took the early morning express train, leaving Pathein at 5:30 AM. I have not had train travel in Myanmar for a long long time.
Most people said Myanmar’s train system tends to be unpredictable, especially the further away tracks go from Yangon. Expected arrival and departure times almost always vary, often by hours. Our train arrived and departed on time in all stations.
We bought the tickets at the train station on the day of travel. We decided to travel on the upper class the fare is K1200.00 per person including the travel insurance. The national identity document is essential to buy the ticket. The seat comes with a simple wooden bench.
The speed of the train is between 20 and 25 miles per hour and it is very good for me to take video throughout the journey. The train passes by tall palm trees, banana plants, rural villages and green paddy field beyond the horizon.
