First we barely missed our train to Suritthani. We managed to catch another one but had to pay 600 extra Baht for the privilege of air conditioning, which froze us out all night. Then, instead of immediately finding perfect accommodation, we had to actually wander around looking for it with our giant packs. We finally found a little bungalow on the top of the hill at Tonsai Beach for 170 Baht a night and enjoyed ourselves for a few days, but then Danielle got sick, and the next day I got sick, and we traced it back to papaya salad we'd had on consecutive nights from the same little restaurant. We recovered in time to catch our ride back to Bangkok, but the sleeper trains were sold out so we had to take another air conditioned bus. Then we got back to Bangkok just in time to realize we had been misinformed on the process of applying for an Indian visa and were going to be stuck here for an extra week.
Why are all of our needs and wants not immediately and spontaneously met like they have been for the last few months???
We miss Cambodia :(
On the upside, the Thai coast is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
Yeah, it definitely looks rough...good thing I read the article too.
ReplyDeleteAlso, to post a comment, the word I had to type to prove I was a real person was "Sadhole"...do you think someone gets paid to come up with these words that are inevitably just there to freak people out?
