Hello From Bangkok.Got on the train at Kanchanaburi heading for Bangkok..or so we thought! In our carriage there were two western couples who, we assumed, were going where we were going. After 90mins the train stops and the two couples get off. Kirsty, mid photo, looks out at the platform name and swears she's read somewhere in the lonely planet that this is Bangkok.

We arrived at Bangkok at around 5am, before sunrise, having left samui at around 11:30am the previous day!      After the bus dropped us off we sat for a while and contemplated our next move.
