As
I mentioned, leaving Koh Chang was very difficult. I was frustrated, knowing
I had to leave, and as I'm want to do, got anxious. I thought,
"Well, if i have to leave here I hope to hell I can
get to Chaing Main over night...Tonight!"
The bus from Trat to Bangkok was loud and uneventful, and I raced to the Bangkok
train terminal to try and catch an overnight, second class sleeper to Chaing
Mai that night. The odds were against me, but Fortuna was on my side and I
shocked the railway assistant who assured me there were no sleepers left by
scoring one for 2 hours hence.
Chaing Mai is known as a small, yet more managable version of Bangkok with
abundant shopping. For me it's also known as "that place I wound up in that
wasn't Koh Chang."
I had fun though driving a scooter around, saw some more Mauy Thai and went...s-h-o-p-p-i-n-g.
Your gifts should be arriving any day.
Those last shots are of a cool bar I found while killing some time before Mauy
Thai. |
