Dinner at Thai Wok

 

Taking Jaipal to the Rail Museum though I think I liked it more

Jaipal looks at the impressive furnace and "drives" the trainanother furnace

an antique monorail from Patiala

my favorite part, looking at the Maharajah's private saloon cars, they had three on display, most with the original fittings intact

these were built and functioning in the 1890s

amazing bathrooms, more modern than most public facilities today

a FLUSH sit down toilet

the kitchen

"British made throughout...of course"ice boxstove, the coals went in the bottom

the ceiling is panels of hand tooled leatherall wood is teak

original baize tabletops to keep the dishes from slipping, the teak chairs are the original chairs

sleeping quartersthis one seemed to be infested with white mannequins
