🚂 Video clip showing the moment that Special No. 983 train hit a rail inspection vehicle on the Suphanburi Line at 8:35am this morning. Luckily the three railmen jumped clear just in time sustaining only slight injuries. #Thailand No. 983 is a chartered train heading to Suphanburi Station. There’s only one passenger train that does a return trip once a week on this line and so the train was being cautious. Locals would not know the train was coming but railmen should be fully aware. They said they heard the whistle but thought it was a train on the main line.

🦵 Recovery Update: 2.5 Months Later It’s now been two and a half months since I badly twisted my knee during the summer holidays. At first, I thought it would be a minor setback—just a week or so of rest. But it turned out to be more serious, and I ended up needing surgery. Last Sunday marked nearly one month since the operation. I had a follow-up with the surgeon who said things are healing nicely and gave me the green light to start putting weight on my left leg and begin knee-bending exercises. This morning was my first physiotherapy session at the hospital—and wow, what an experience! The doctor strapped my leg into a machine that bends and straightens your knee for you. He set it to 70 degrees (which is as far as I can bend it for now), turned it on, handed me a panic button, and said “see you in an hour!” 😳 Every 50 seconds it bent to the limit. The pain was intense, but I kept going. When the doctor came back to check on me, I said (very British) “I’m fine.” So, naturally, he turned it up! 😩 Eventually, he noticed the pain in my face and dialled it back to 72 degrees. Small mercies! But the real pain came next—when he manually tried to bend my knee further. I actually cried out. He told me my knee is still very stiff and that full recovery might take many months. He’s given me some exercises to do at home, and I’m back in the “torture chamber” again next Thursday. Not looking forward to it—but I know this is the path to recovery. 🎯 My goal? To be walking (with a limp and a stick) in time for the Royal Blossom train trip to Hua Hin on 12 July. Whether I’ll manage to get up the train steps is another story… let’s see! #Thailand
