Good whatever-time-of-day it is for you, blogmates.
Since we last spoke, we've crossed the country.
Firstly, we jumped on a train (literally, as the train floor was at least 2 feet below the platform) from Pran Buri to the wonderfully and somehow aptly named CHUMPhon.
JB'S trusty and well thumbed guide book had warned us that this was no more than a transit stop for most people and that one night was usually enough to sample its delights
In my opinion, one night was probably more than enough.
There was a temple. (Luckily for you it was being renovated, so no pics) and precious little else.
Fuelled by desperation, the next morning we caught a coach bound for Ranong, on the Western side of Thailand.
First impressions were not great.
We appeared to have arrived in a humid tropical version of Colne on half closing day, but not as glamorous, although we did watch a steam roller for a while. Fascinating.
We did a bit of half-hearted sight seeing this evening, which involved being denied entry to the local palace (apparently it was the wrong day) and hiring some questionable socks (no idea why) in order to walk up the 'Skyway ' to see the view/sunset.
And that really, is where we leave you for now.......
Hoping to get transport to anywhere soon.
