A visit to the country of North Korea can be a precarious experience, a person can not go alone there, you have to go there with a group for which booking has to be done at least a week in advance, I took flight from Bangkok ( DMK ) to Shenyang on 16 Oct, Nok Scoot, and arrived Shenyang on 16 Oct morning around 8 am. Later in the evening i took a fast train G787 to Dandong which costed 73 RMB
For going to DPRK Via Train ( Going and Come Back) one must have at least double entry or Multiple entry Chinese visa because you have to enter China and then exit from China and then again have to re enter China
As you can not enter DPRK solo and you have to go and come back in a group tour only so on 17 Oct morning around 8 i was supposed to reach at Dandong train station and the agency from where i took the package their representative came and later we joined the group . there were 32 peoples in that group all were Chinese except me. after clearing the immigration we boarded the train at around 9:45 to Pyongyang. Train left on time and just after crossing the Yalu river we entered the DPRK.
The first station was Sinuiju, where the train stopped for around 2 hours and we have to get down from the train for the immigration and security check. Our guide took our mobile , laptop and passport. later our luggage was fully scanned by the DPRK security, it was a lengthy process and a bit scary too. they even randomly check the content on mobile and pictures.
After clearing the immigration we boarded the train again and now the North korean tour guide was there
