Bustling Bangkok

Today was entirely a travel day which started with an early wake up at 5:30 in order to make our 4x4 traverse from the beach across the mountain range to the ferry pier where we hopped a boat from Koh Phangan back to the mainland. Luckily the ladies got to sit in the cab of the truck and the men were left to bounce around and hang on for dear life in the back box with the luggage. There wasn’t a road per say, just a jarring path that the driver probably paved to get his ute to the place where he picked us up in the first place. Nonetheless, we arrived to the pier a little shaken and stirred. We were lured into buying a sub by a lovely thai lady who was able to sing the sandwich menu at 6 am as the sun was rising. It was remarkable really. But in the end we only picked a few goods off the sanny during our three hour trip and did more sleeping than snacking. Once we arrived on land we took a disco shuttle bus with couch style seating to the Surat Tahni airport, making one stop to transfer shuttle buses ...we still aren’t sure exactly why. We caught our short hour and a half flight to Bangkok and trained it straight to our hostel from the airporto. We are staying at a brand new place called Link, right in the heart of the city of life.
