We had our alarm set for 4:45 so we could say goodbye to Chris who was getting a taxi to the airport at 5am. However, we were woken up a little earlier by Chris knocking on our door to say he'd locked himself out of his room after going for a shower. There's noone on the reception desk from 8pm to 8am, he didn't have his key, and his plane was leaving at 8:30…uh oh! There wasn't much we could do, although we tried picking the lock, trying to force open the w...

After another night of broken sleep on the train, we arrived back at Cozy at about 8am just as the receptionist was opening the doors! We didn't have to wait too long before we could get into our room and have a much needed shower! Laura and I needed to get a few things from MBK shopping centre, so after a short rest we were off to find a taxi, leaving Chris behind at the hotel to get his stuff sorted for his journey home tomorrow. We managed to get a taxi str...

This morning we checked out of Cozy Bangkok and left our bags in storage while we headed back to our favourite Bangkok shopping centre, MBK.

We won't be posting anything else after that shocker… We were keen to try out the international food court again without h...

We all woke up about about 6am as the train was supposed to arrive in Bangkok at 7am. We'd all slept pretty well, although I woke up quite a few times in the night - not used to sleeping on a train! We hung around and watched one of the staff members starting to change some of the beds back into seats again -a very streamlined procedure, it probably takes him 1 minute for each set of 2 beds. As it got to 7am it was clear we weren't going to get to Bangkok on ti...

Our last day in Bangkok…for now! We've had some great times over the last few days and it's been a definite improvement on KL. Yet we'll still be glad to get out of the heat, humidity, noise and craziness for the next few days. In the morning we decided to walk to Chinatown after collecting our tickets and dropping our bags off with the travel agent ready for the bus tonight. They guy who works there and is always hanging around by the door to show people in...
