They do have a website although not sure why - most of their "readers" don't

Yes it's train travel only for our little lady! Given that we love train
travel, she has grown up thinking this is the normal way to get about. As
we have done that Bkk-CM trip overnight on the...

I've done plenty of overnight train travel in my time - mainly between
London and Paris. I know that you see nothing other than the first and last
few minutes. However, there is something rather...

We thought it would make a change. Our daughter (age 11 so old enough to
have a view!) was really keen on doing a long distance train travel and
night train travel in particular. We love train...

Chiang Mai to Angkor Wat
Thanks for that. Yes I had checked out Bangkok air. The connection isn't
too bad, but I had hoped for direct. The bus option sounds a bit more time
consuming!

The Intercontinental has a pool on the 36th floor. It seemed to get a lot
