Must-see Goteik viaduct awaits
Many tourists exchange seats with locals
For threadbare cushions with a view.

Passing through fields and forest,
A cliff face stares us down
The train slows to a crawl.
It meanders down toward the trestles
Considered the highest worldwide,
Back in 1900.

The train creaks,
We pass over a jungle encircled river,
102 meters below.

Arms jut out
Clutching cameras, self-sticks and phones

Train curves toward the cliff edge's safety
A tunnel swallows us whole.
Spits us into rice fields.
