Up early and to the bus station. At least we are able to get on a bus today. We load our gear on and grab our seats. Fairly comfortable with decent leg room. The journey is 13 hours and is fairly uneventful. I do the usual combination of sleeping, music and some talking to Bo. This is only interrupted by a crying child in the seat across the aisle. Who cried non stop for 2 hours. Brilliant.

We get to Bangkok and jump in a taxi back to the hotel I had stayed in before. They don't have any rooms. However if I stay and wait for half an hour the one they were holding, they will let us have. Bo, again want to phone some friend so he can sort it out for us. Again I explain that all he will do is check hotels, which is what I am doing now. I can't be bothered to argue, I let her phone and head off to meet him, meanwhile I wait. Luckily no one comes and I am able to get the room. Bo phone and I tell her we have the room and so she comes back. After check in we go and get something to eat, I am exhausted and so I head home, Bo goes out to meet said friend.
