Ok! So back in Bangkok after spending the last 5 days or so down south at the islands on the east coastdoing some scuba diving and enjoying the beach life :-) So I'll pick up from where I left off which was on the train from Bangkok to Chumporn (a coastal town and main port for access to the islands on this side of the country).
