Krabi, Thailand

So we left Bangkok last night to take a train all night into the morning to Surat Thani, we got there at five in the morning, then waited around for a bus that would take us towards the west coast of Thailand's southern peninsula. That lasted about four or five hours. Total burn out.

The train was a fun ride, we had a sleeper car with a million other people. It was a total new experience for me. The food car was a pretty fun time. We listened to loud music all night and drank over priced beers. I then started hoping off the moving train at the stations to get a brew for about the third of the price. A bit sketch when it started moving again or the whistle was blowing. I then found out that it wasn't allowed to bring your own drinks into the food car. We acted dumb and like we didn't understand the huge sign posted above. It all worked out until it was time for the staff to go to bed so they kicked us out and wouldn't let us hang in the common area's and told us to close the doors and what not. We argued with the guys for a long while told him we were not tired and we were not gonna go back to the sleeper car and make a bunch of noise and piss everyone off. He took us to the caboose and told Cole and I we could chill back there as long as we didn't open the doors..... Ha right, we waited till he was out of sight, opened all the doors and chilled there for a long while, drank some Thai brandy called Regency or something of that sort until we were about to pass out. And we did so, Slept for about five hours like a champ. Nice comfy beds, the best on the trip so far. All and all it was a pretty cool time. Next time I wanna make sure were better prepared with food and drinks so we don't have to pay Disneyland prices.

So Krabi, its right on a river real close to the beach. It is where all the ferries leave to a lot of the nice islands like Phi Phi, Lanta, and Phuket. They filmed one of the James Bond flicks around here. Dr. No I think??? not sure though. So were gonna hang out here for a bit then head out for Lanta and Phi Phi. Get some much needed Sun rays on my white ass.

Shang Hi headed up north, he got there sound and safe. He is in Chang Mai, He took an over night bus and had a hell of a ride to say the least. The buses here are hit or miss usually miss, and not really hit. Anyways Good Luck Boot!!! hope the north is all the hype, I had to choose the south, the sun just sounded so much better to me.

Well I am gonna hit the sack and get some rays in the AM, till next time peace out.

Jespe.
