Day 10, Train to Bangkok


We flew out to Chiang Mai for about $70 which seems pretty reasonable. On our return journey to Bangkok I thought it would be great to take a train and see some scenery and save some money, the only catch was that the train takes 12hrs.

Sleeping on the train was near impossible as it jerked from side to side violently and sounded as if pieces were falling off. After about two hours the train lost its appeal and because we weren't fed, moral quickly dropped.

After fourteen hours (the extra two hours felt like torture) we pulled into Bangkok and started to haggle with the crowd of taxi drivers, Bangkok is beginning to feel like home.
