Since we were taking the evening train
We tried our best to stay in hotel till checkout
I even went to 7-11 to get breakfast
And waited till last moment to take our precious shower for the day.
We went to the Jim Thomson house
And was surprised that entrance fees include a tour
We both enjoyed the tour despite the hot weather
When we were leaving, I saw there was a shuttle tuktuk to the main street
And I pulled husband along to satisfy my tuktuk wish
And the ride ended in 5min haha
We then went to mbk to hide from the sun
I managed to buy a fake gopro selfie stick
Which served us well for the trip.
Because of husband's xl size
We tend to pay more for clothes
Sales are often for size s-l
Husband saw a tee that he really like
And I managed to use my "candy bargain" method
The owner wanted to sell the tee and shorts for 400baht
After bargaining awhile,
She agreed to sell at 330baht
I only wanted to pay 300baht and tried persuading her
But she wont budge
In the end I told her to sell me at 300baht
And I will give her a candy
Which I pick up at the massage parlor
She laughed and agreed
And husband was so impressed! Haha
We then had lunch at an unknown fast food restaurant
Took the bts and metro to the train station
Is near and not so near
We went to collect the train tickets which I booked online opp the station.
It was early so husband decided to walk to the Chinatown nearby
Which seems near on map
With the luggages, hot weather, bad traffic and getting lost
We didn't managed to find it
And settled to have coffee
We went to 7-11 to buy dinner and snacks
And board the train shortly
The train left promptly at 1840.
A French couple were our top bunks
And their friends were next to us
Suddenly we were surrounded by French!
Although we feel bad taking the better lower bunks
We can't bear to give it up to the French couple
The lower bunk was really spacious and convenient compared to the top.
And my father in law warned us about how he was freezing through the night in the top bunk previously.
We didnt eat the train dinner set
Dinner was 190baht per pax
As we start eating our 7-11 dinner
Husband didn't bought enough and I was greedy
And we spent 120baht to buy the expensive chips in train!
The beds were set up at 2100
And I was happy to retreat into my bed
The only bad point was my phone was low batt
While husband enjoyed his book
Being the smart wife, I bought a pack of baby wipes to clean ourselves in the train.
Which saves husband's life haha.
I fell asleep short after using the mosquito patch
It's like sleeping in a moving car
Initially it was quite hot but cold in the middle of the night
I think it was a nice way to travel despite being 13hrs ride and small simple toilet
But we save hotel for the night!
