A very short video: the train is moving on the track located on the left of the photo, the closest one to the man using the garden hose to take a shower.

Arrival at the Railway Station

This is an amateur and a little bit shaky video but it gives a fair idea of Thai train and Nong Khai station. Train can be extremely cheap in Thailand but don’t ask for speed and punctuality!
