If you are here in Switzerland, you shouldn't miss exploring the Alps,
one of the world's most beautiful mountains.
From Bangkok, we flew direct flight with THAI to Zurich.
Explore Zurich first. Get familiar with Switzerland a bit
before taking a train to explore other parts in the country.
And the place my destiny brought me to is this town, LUCERNE.
It is easy to travel with Eurail Pass.
First, you fill in your passport number.
In Travel Diary section, you fill in the start station and end station.
When a train officer asks for the ticket, you just show this pass to the officer.
Very easy.
Here we are, Engelberg Train Station,
about 45 minutes train ride from Lucerne Train Station.
We planned to arrive here early to avoid the crowd.
Today's weather is perfect!
I've got Titlis Admission Ticket in my hand now.
From Engelberg Train Station, you can either walk here for 10 minutes or take a bus for one stop.
Then, you will arrive this Titlis Cable Car Station.
Simple steps to take a cable car to Titlis are
First, from the ground, you take a tram, then change to a cable car No. 1 to Trübsee Station.
Then, you take a cable car No.2. Later, you will take Rotair,
the first revolving cable car which allows you to see 360 degrees of the view.
This is Europe's first revolving cable car.
At the top, it is about 3,000 metres above sea levels.
You then take an elevator to Level 5 which is 3,200 metres above sea level.
This is TITLIS peak.
You can walk around amidst the white snow.
And, enjoy the views of the Alps around. So beautiful, especially on a sunny day.
Here, you will see Europe's highest suspension bridge, 500 metres above the ground.
In Switzerland, you can experience snow at the top of mountains all year round.
I've run into Thai friends here at Titlis.
Sawasdee krub! (Hello!)
How are you doing in Switzerland?
Comfortable. Fun. Beautiful.
Mountain tops here are breathtaking.
How was it riding with THAI here?
Very comfortable. On the way here, I got to sleep well.
We came to Zurich, then Lucerne. From here, we are going to Milan in Italy.
Then, we'll fly back to Thailand from Milan with THAI.
Wish you all a pleasant trip! Thank you.
A must-do activity at Titlis is Ice Flyer.
Believe me! This activity is super cool
as you will ride the Ice Flyer chair lift to witness impressive glacier world below.
After that, you can have more fun at Glacier Park.
It'll surely be a new experience for many of us.
Woohoo...!!
Oh! I'm sorry...sorry...oh. [Bumping sound]
If you visit Lucerne, I strongly recommend you to come to Titlis
because it is not far and very convenient to travel on your own.
You can travel by train easily with Eurail Global Pass or Swiss Pass.
Many people wonder why Lucerne is so popular for international visitors.
I think it is because the town is easy to walk around.
Lucerne is small - not too big.
Main attractions are in the same area. You do not even have to take a bus.
The symbol or landmark of Lucerne is just behind me.
This is a wooden bridge or Chapel Bridge.
It is regarded as Europe's oldest wooden bridge, almost 700 years.
The bridge is located at the town centre.
So, you will see lots of locals and visitors around this area every day.
Beautiful place to take photos. Not just the bridge, but the neighbourhood around here.
Wow! So colourful. Especially on a great weather day.
I'm so glad to be back here today, the Lion Monument.
This place is regarded as Switzerland's most important monument.
Let me tell you a story.
During French Revolution in 1789, around 1,200 Swiss Royal guards performed their duties
to protect Royal family members at Tuileries Palace in Paris until 760 were dead.
Three years later, a Swiss guard visited this place and had an idea of creating a monument.
Fund raising from people and several organisations then started.
You will see that the monument is stunning and classic.
This is a masterpiece of stone-carving into a dying lion shape.
The message inscripted in the stone means "To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss".
Not far from the Lion Monument, you will find this shop owned by Sister Aree - Aree's Souvenir House.
Several kinds of souvenirs are for sale inside with Thai service.
Many of us may have heard of 'Old Swiss House' restaurant which has welcomed many VIP guests.
Nearby, Sister Aree took me to this local restaurant named 'Caravelle'.
The restaurant is over 50 years old. Its name is inspired from a aeroplane model.
Sometimes, I think that 'along the way'' is cool.
On the way to the train station, you will enjoy the views of Lucerne Lake.
With a chilling walk, you will soon arrive Lucerne Train Station.
Alright! We are ready to continue our train journey.
Travelling in Switzerland is easy with train.
You can use either Swiss Pass or Eurail Pass.
What I use is 'Eurail Global Pass - 15 days' which allows me to travel around Europe in over 30 countries.
And, when I bought this from STA Travel, I was given this Eurail map
as well as Swiss Travel Map.
You can study on this.
More importantly, you will get this Travel Stamp Collection Book.
Very special. You just collect stamps from the train stations you've visited.
Then, you are entitled for a prize draw.
I've just got one from Lucerne Station.
I will take a chance. The first prize is a Switzerland Travel Package for two people.
Worth trying!
I'm still here in Switzerland for many more episodes.
