Southeast Asia Trains is your trusted resource for exploring the region by rail, offering expert tips, routes, and travel insights, run by British train enthusiast, Jason Lynn (me).
Trains have been my favourite mode of travel ever since I first boarded the (now defunct) Cleethorpes to London Kings Cross InterCity service in the 1980s. Since then, I have ridden the rails all over the world, including an overland adventure from London to Singapore onboard trains (with the occasional bus thrown in). Wherever possible, I try to take the train rather than flying, partly to reduce my carbon footprint but also as I know it’s the best way to see the world, get to know a country, and to embrace slow travel.
I now live in Malaysia with my wife and two children and am a full-time travel blogger, running this site and several others (including On Penang and TraveLynn Family). I worked as a software engineer for over twenty years and it was actually onboard a Thai sleeper train that I finally made the decision to quit my job and join my wife’s (Jenny) blogging business!
I hope you enjoy reading this blog and find it useful in planning and researching your Southeast Asian train journey. This part of the world has some of the most interesting, affordable and iconic railways to explore and, unlike elsewhere, the majority of the most visited tourist sites, towns and cities can be reached by trains. So forget about buses and planes and begin your own Southeast Asian train adventure right here.
