This is techincally probably day 6 since the trans-pacific journey was so long, but I will call it day 5. The airport is new (2 years?) and quite nice. I'm happy to say that we are healthy as the heat imaging screen didn't pick up anything unusual. We arrived at the hotel at about 1 in the morning. At the airport we could not find the man with the green sign, but it turned out that he was just playing what looked like a makeshift game of checkers over in the corner. Haha! The hotel was interesting and the right price for Bangkok. Since the hallways were outside there were some critters running around as we journeyed to the fourth floor. Most interesting was a tiny lizard that zipped past us.
We woke up at 11ish to get ready for the noon check out. We left the hotel and headed to the city via taxi. The driver was a kick, he really wanted us to take a bus to the south, which seemed like a good idea. As it turned out that would basically just double the fare. We stuck with the plan on the rail trip. Hua Lampong rail station is awesome. It's a really happening place. People bustleing everywhere. Right now we are across the street in an Internet cafe as the prices are cheaper than in that station.
Tonight at 5 we board a train for Trang. We arrive at 8 in the morning. The trip should be nice as we are in a private AC sleeper cabin. Surprisingly, that temperature is not that bad here.
