Haha!! Actually it might be good to apply this to the Penang-Bangkok train. Do we have any Thai members? Can start the GG in the train in Malaysia (Members all the way from Sgp up till Penang can take another train until it reaches Penang, then change to the Penang-Bangkok train), then pick up members all the way until Bangkok, then tour Bangkok, then back to Malaysia.
