When the train finally arrived in Bangkok (Thai times are just fabulous) we hopped on and promptly fell fast asleep. We were surrounded by women will all their market produce and various chickens and dogs but were very comfortable. In between naps we saw some beautiful Thai countryside and on the whole it was a lovely if not rather bumpy and dusty journey!
