【摘要2022-11-12.自由】周虹汶

Tickets have been selling out fast in Thailand for rides on a special "floating train", where passengers have been enjoying the illusion of aquatic rail travel due to a post-monsoon rise in water levels.

搭乘特殊「漂浮列車」的車票在泰國火速售罄,乘客在裡頭享受了因雨季後水位上升帶來的水上鐵路旅行幻覺。

The route starts in the capital Bangkok and passes through the Pasak Jolasid dam in Lop Buri province six hours away on an elevated track just above the water level, which officials say has been unusually high this year.

這條路線從首都曼谷起始,經過6小時穿越位於華富里府、高架軌道僅略高於水位的巴沙春拉西水壩,官員們說今年水位異常地高。

The train runs only at weekends between November and February and tickets have been sold out until New Year.

火車僅在11月和2月間的週末運行,到新年的車票已售罄。

"I’ve never seen anything like this before," said Bunyanuch Pahuyut, who was among 600 passengers who have travelled on the route on Sunday. (Reuters)

週日踏上這段旅程的600名乘客之一的布尼亞努克​​.帕胡尤特說,「我以前從沒看過這樣的東西。」(路透)
