Our last day in Prachuap Kiri Khan.
It was time to say goodbye to the beach and the langurs, the seafood, the temples and the smiley faces and the Honda...
It was time to head further south...
Arriving at the station around 22:30 with a ticket for the midnight train, all that was left to do was to get a luggage ticket for the bicycles....unfortunately, the station master had other ideas as there wouldn't be room for the bicycles tonight but they would probably go on one of the next trains and maybe arrive in a couple of days time!
A few minutes of contemplation ensued then another plan developed.
As it always does in Asia...Same Same but different...as they say around here.
We now had tickets for the earlier 23:16 to Thung Song Junction. A sleeper train that would get us in at 08:15 with room in cargo for the bikes so we could get a connection on arrival to Trang in the morning. This is exactly what happened and after a nights slumber we had made our way further south during the early hours.
The 08:55 left Thung Song on time the next morning and arrived at Trang one and a half hours later but we paid the price...the ticket cost a whopping 15 baht!
We were once again the only 'Falangs' in town.
(farang=westerners: but Thais can't pronounce an 'r' )
It was greener here.
The jungle was closer.
This track comes from Art Brut off the aptly named album 'It's a bit complicated'.
