Having ´done´ about all its lines through the yrs-without any wish to do that again, I can thus personally testify that at least 3 times I got a kind of ´proposal´ from some conductor/sleeper-car attendant (male). But I will not do the math/stats, it might as % still even be less as what one can encounter in normal everyday Thai life out of that Silom area (not having been Pattaya since around 2000 we leave that aside). Esp. many young male supermarket staff (probably pretty bored with that job) can be quite entertaining and proposing..........

To post: it must hence be yet another ´donation´ of JR that relieves them of the need to bring it to in Japan probably a costly break down affair.

SRT also has 2nd hand cars from QR=Queensland rails (who said it was not gay?), many more from Japan,  and once (I think under Abhisit) got a few new UK-built ´sprinter´sets´, also much in use with BritRail-or whatever-at that time-and used for a kind of prestigious and high supplement ´fast´ train-which may have lasted a year or 2.Untill maintenance of these technically then too advanced iron monsters became-as so often- the stumbleblock
