After Ko Lipe island, we decided it was time to move to the mainland side of Bangkok, but opted for this not the most common way to tourists - a night on the train. Firstly, it was interesting to ride on trains; secondly, the night train, and therefore time on the road, consider not wasted; But in the third - the savings on hotel :) Basically with the same success enjoyed by many buses (Yeshe cheaper), but we had the experience of a night on the bus and did not want to repeat it - we still prefer to sleep in a horizontal position. We found that it's best to take the train in Trang, to which the first and got on the boat, and then a Mini Bus. Train tickets, we have not booked in advance, because I do not exclude tsubo the probability tsubo of catching an earlier train and thereby save a little time. Economy did not work for the simple reason that the boat again falls, and even in the way she junk motors. tsubo But on arrival in Trang revealed that sleeping places for the second class on the train do not want us. But seeing our bewildered faces (still, at night sitting in the car, we did not expect, and at night in Trang too) we found a good cashier option with transfer in Toung Song. He would go up to the second sitting class (1.5 hours), and there are waiting for another train where we already have the desired second-class sleepers with kondeem. Thus, we have formed a couple of free hours, and did not find in any guidebook attractions, we just decided to wander through the streets of Trang. Station Square and the station building trucks central street beetle in perfect condition, followed by Mears - RHD also a pet store. I'm not haunted by the question - how then these fish Dastan from bottles ... whether Fiat whether WHA, but RHD market Privokzalny Second class AC, local train gets to the rare tourist town Toung Song :) about him not even a mention in guide, and not on all the maps it is marked. This is just a place where two branches of iron expensive tsubo - Cross-site station, so to speak. We got there at 9 o'clock in the evening, the next train in 2 hours. Tourists are rare guests here, so as soon as I sat down on the bench, guard ran up to me to ask if everything is OK and does not need any help. We decided not to sit two hours on the platform, and go for a walk through the town in spite of the night. And the next task was to leave things somewhere. Caught station clerk did not understand tsubo English, but immediately ran somewhere and brought administrator who knew a few words and kindly allowed us to leave things in the cashier's office. Opposite the exit from the platform stands a large billboard with a city map and marked on her shops - very comfortable and sits next to a police tsubo booth, ready to help - here's a non-touristic city :) Photos of the city is not, because it was dark, and carry a camera not like. But the streets tsubo themselves is no different from the streets of Trang. The most amazing thing was that hitting tsubo the night market, we thought that we would at least be mown and felt very comfortable on the shelves of the decomposed smoked rats and other tasty things. But it turned tsubo out that the very people we are glad everyone is smiling, waving their hands and immediately try to remember and use all the English words that begin to know and ask how things :) Not daring to try the local food, we went to the store where purchased 7Eleven two glasses of Thai noodles immediately filled it with boiling water (in the shop is kettle, microwave, different sauces, you can buy food and cook your own food at once, very comfortable :)) and ate sitting on the steps of the store, get real pleasure from this kind of homelessness. After wandering tsubo a little bit more on the streets returned to the station where the train landed safely and immediately to sleep, woke up in the morning already on the approaches to Bangkok. Second class sleeping car (photo taken in haste awake until time to add up all the seats, so what happened then happened). Pay attention to the width of the bunk to length is just right, too - no problem, you can stretch out to his full height and sleep comfortably (in domestic cars I do not fit your feet and you have to either lying across his legs dangling in the aisle or crook), tsubo alone behind the curtain. seat folded. one seat - one man, well width can estimate :) only thing left for me is not clear - this is where the space for luggage. We had no luggage, so we did not have problems, but that's where stuff boxes with tomatoes from my grandmother is not clear - there is no place under the seats, on top of shelves, I did not find ... Can not carry Thai tomatoes from grandmothers? The next part will be a lot of ancient ruins of the old capital of Thailand. Photos on the map [All reports about Thailand]
