As we arrived at Don Meaung Airport on a Domestic flight, there were no customs and we had to just walk to the international terminal, however one small thing that I have neglected to mention, two days ago in Krabi I had stepped off a pavement awkwardly and turned my left ankle and had a bad sprain which made walking difficult. So it wasn't so much a leisurely walk, more of a slow limp hanging onto Chris' arm, through the airport. However, our flight didn't lea...

Krabi to Bangkok We were up at 5pm, having packed the night before. We thought we were too early for the hotel breakfast but as we were leaving they handed us a large carrier bag of supplies, so that solved the breakfast problem. The taxi was waiting and off we zoomed to the airport, nice and easy.

We passed through the Thai countryside which was a mixture of vast rice fields and low hills, with a sprinkling of small towns and temples. We stopped at many stations during the day and they all had a different charm of their own. The wonderful part of the journey was the train, which was made up ...
