Can you tell me please if this is something that runs every year. It really
sounds like a great trip. I won't be living in Hua Hin until the end of January but would love to go on this trip next year.
Many Thanks.. :)

No, I posted on this thread by accident, the oops was for my accidental post, nothing to do with the topic.

Mr. Parahandy and I would love to join one of the trips, but, unfortunately, they seem to be mid-week. We work every day at the university and getting the odd day or two off for a jolly is a big no-no.

I do hope they keep running in March (when we have a bit more mid-week free time).

It seems like great value for money, and would love to hear reports from anyone who has experienced the first trip. Feedback please...

Thanks, everyboy. The Jazz Train seems to be really popular, and I'm pretty sure we can add weekend trips down the line. We're feeling it out as we go.

Meanwhile, the first Jazz Train heads out this Wednesday (Dec. 12) just before noon. There will be a live band at the station, some banners, and whatever other whoop-de-doo we can organize, starting around 11:00. Anyone who feels like it, drop by and join in. It should be a spot of fun.
