The Why
Our mission is to challenge the concept of train travel, and breathe new life into this vintage form of travel.
our inaugural journey
a curious carriage
TIME BANDITS FANTASY RIDE
A customized loco-emotive experience that was two parts wild, two parts raunchy, and a dash of whimsy for the ages. Sensuality, sin, indulgence, gluttony, pride and theatrics engaged, intertwined and excited.
Where We Went
We traveled from Chiang Mai Station to Den Chai Station outside of Phrae.
The Mission
To recapture the glory and spontaneity of early 20th Century train journeys.
The Entertainment
A more than 4-hour revue show with performers, magicians, surprises, and guest activities.
Onboard Experience
The trip was a 6-hour ride that featured an open bar, hor d’oeuvres, and a seated 4-course dinner.
upcoming events
Smiling Albino train journeys focus on the journey and not the destination. We combine creativity, and sustainability to curate events are unlike any other.
Join us for an upcoming event and experience the magic of train travel in Thailand.
