After returning to the tracks and passing one of the largest water reservoirs in the country,

 hundreds of passengers flocked to Thailand's famous "floating train" to take a six-hour flight from Bangkok ending at the Pasak golasid dam in Lopburi province .

The National Transport and railway network of Thailand finally celebrated the end of the

 rainy season, and on this occasion, it restarted the "route Phi Loi Nam" train connecting

 Bangkok to the Basak golasid dam, as hundreds of people flocked before dawn to take a trip

 on the "floating" train, which entitles its passengers not only an additional means of

 transport, but also an unfamiliar journey.

Three and a half hours after leaving Bangkok, the redeveloped Japanese-made train with

more than 12 carriages crosses the Pasak gulassed reservoir over a set of bridges and then

 stops for 20 minutes to allow passengers to take selfies with an "endless" view of the water.

Recently, train travel has become increasingly popular in Thailand, and trips on the "floating"

 train are the most popular, as the renewed momentum has spread among locals and

 tourists alike, but some regret the announcement that accompanied the return of the

 floating train, as it was done only in Thai and not in English, and therefore few foreigners

 knew about it.
