The sleeper train to Bangkok from Krabi was a pleasant surprise! I got a few hours sleep, it was quite comfortable and fairly clean too! We had a tour of the Wat Po temple where we saw a 46 metre reclining Buddha and about 1000 others that morning! After a trip down the river on a long tail boat we were ready to try and catch up on some sleep! Tonight was our last as a group, so we had dinner by the river and a couple of drinks and then went for an evening tuk tu...

The following day when we were up early to start our jungle trek I regretted the jaeger bomb! It started with a journey in 4x4 and...

Finally we had a 'free' day! We made the most of it and headed to the botanical gardens, the orchid and hibiscus gardens and the butterfly farm. The butterflies were so pretty! For lunch we headed towards the Central Market in China town and got back to the hotel just before the rain came. Today was a girl in the group, Mariamas, birthday.
