Yes, we are in Thailand!!!
In the queue to get into Thailand we argued about taking 1st or 2nd class sleeping department on the train. We didn't think that all the Muslims returning home after Hari Raya where thinking the same thing. Well, they where thinking about the same thing when they bought their return tickets to Malaysia couple of weeks ago.
Bottom line: out of two trains per day from Thai border north first one was fully booked and second one had only couple of seats in 3rd class. When I say 3rd class you should read cargo class - no windows, no fans with bench style seating designed to get as many Thai size people in as possible. No need to say that our XL bodies didn't fit well.
Good thing was that we only had 14 hours on the train, the bad news was that (since first train was full) we will get to our destination (Chumphon) at 2am and will need to wait for 5 hours until first ferry to Ko Tao island.
We needed beer and lots of it !!!
