So in 4 days we have travelled over 1000 kilometres, taken a boat, coach, taxi and one very slow moving train and finally reached the city of Phitsanulok in central Thailand. Arriving at? the station over 2 hours late and at 2 am in the morning probably didnt help but?the city was dead... and pretty scary. Nothing and no one was around... correction... one prostitute and her 3 pimps were around... but no one of any help to us. Lonely planet guide in hand we searc...

It is infact one of their hottest months of the year, a...
