Thailand Part 4 - Bangkok again

I'm now (on 13/12) on the long flight home from Thailand after having an amazing two weeks. We got up at 4am this morning to get to the airport, which is now 11 hours ago. We've just taken off from Hong Kong airport so I'll hopefully be home in about 15 hours.

Today involved a lot of travelling. The day began on Ko Phangan getting a taxi from our hostel to Thong Sala pier. After walking around for about 30 minutes getting directed from person to person we finally found the right place to get our ferry tickets. We'd booked a 'ferry, bus & plane' all in one ticket so it made it a bit more complicated to start off with, but made the rest of the trip a lot smoother than it might have been.

Thailand Part 1 - Bangkok

To keep myself occupied during the long journey from Bangkok to Chiang Mai I've decided to write a blog post. I'm on holiday in Thailand with my mate Jack and we are currently on the 'express' sleeper train that was supposed to have taken 14.5 hours, but in keeping with the Thai's way of relaxed living we've been going for 16.5 hours so far with extended stops at most of the stations on the way.

We arrived in Bangkok at 17.15 local time, 24 hours after I left my flat. We had a change of flights in Hong  Kong meaning the flying time was longer than if we had flown direct. With watching a few films and having a sleep, the flight didn't actually seem very long though.
