January 20, 20212296 Views

रॉकी माउंटेनियर का सफर है दुनिया की सबसे आलीशान यात्राओं में से एक इस ट्रेन में न रॉयल या प्रेसिडेंशियल या महारानी स्वीट है, न आरामदेह बिस्तर है, न कमरे में प्लाज्मा टीवी, म्यूजिक सिस्टम या शानदार शीशे का बना बाथरूम क्यूबिकल- कुछ भी नहीं। दुनिया की राजसी ट्रेन यात्राओं में अभी तक हम जिन तमाम खूबियों का जिक्र किया करते थे, वे सारी इस ट्रेन में नदारद हैं। लेकिन ठाठ इसके भी कम नहीं। यह भी दुनिया की सबसे शानदार ट्रेन यात्राओं में गिनी जाती है, उन यात्राओं में जिनके बिना दुनिया देखने के अनुभव को अधूरा कहा जा सकता है। कनाडा की रॉकी माउंटेनियर की शोहरत में यकीनन उसके भीतर की सेवाओं का योगदान खासा है तो उन कुदरती नजारे का हिस्सा भी कम नहीं जिसकी सैर वो कराती है। दरअसल यह केवल दिन की ट्रेन है। सफर इसमें दो दिन या उससे ज्यादा के भी होते हैं लेकिन हर सफर में यह ट्रेन रात में किसी शहर में प...

“Giggling bread” and “joyfully dancing salad” aren’t the usual dishes on a menu in Thailand, but one eatery is hoping its cannabis-infused cuisine can lure foreign tourists and take the taboo out of the recently legalised leaf. The restaurant at the Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital in Prachin Buri started serving its own happy meals this month, after Thailand de-listed cannabis as a narcotic, allowing state-authorised firms to cultivate the plant. A chef prepares a pork sandwich with a marijuana leaf at Abhaibhubejhr hospital canteen which adds cannabis infused dishes to its menu after cannabis leaves, stems, stalks and roots were officially removed from Thailand's narcotics list, allowing basically any part of the plant except for the buds to be used for consumption in Prachin Buri...
