Bangkok 3

going to Koh Phangan

Got up quite early (10 am) to check the prices and tickets for Koh Phangan. To get there you need a joint ticket, train, bus and ferry. We were lucky as the train was so busy they organised one more rail car.

The train is quite funny. First you sit opposite each other, like this:

later a man comes and prepares the bed. Everyone has his own curtain and the great thing is (for me especially) that you cannot fall out of the bed because you have some band keeping you where you belong to.

The beds are quite comfortable. I slept like a baby, Ariane didn't find any sleep at all though.

After a long, long journey.. after the train comes the bus, then the ferry and later you have to find a cab that brings you were you want to stay at the island.

There is no such thing as public transport but you can get those comfortable taxis:

We went to Chalukam which is in the north. The south is where all the travellers usually go because thats the place where the famous full moon party and the not so famous half moon party and plenty of other parties are.
