After leaving Bangkok we took an overnight sleeper train to Koh Sok National Park. The train was an experience in itself. Boarding, you are faced with the idea that the 12hr journey will be seated throughout. However, after an hour, staff came and folded out the chairs to make bunkbeds, with little curtains too. The train had a social area where a few of us sat playing music and drinking games until we decided to sleep on the suprisingly comfortable beds.
At 7.30am we were woken up and taken to Koh Sok National Park. This was the most beautiful place I had seen so far. It felt like we were the only ones there and so untouched as a place. We took taxi boats to which we stopped half way and did some cliff jumping. As this was not joined to the sea, and still mainland, the water was so calm. Eventually, we arrived at the Floating Bungalows. The cabins were more stable than I imagined they would be. However, the paths we needed to walk over to get to each bugalow and the main social area were ricketty and genuinly did float as you walked. That day we all chilled out, taking kayaks to the surrounding areas, ate and played more drinking games. An angry German couple stormed out in their underware at about middnight to tell us to shutup - but as he was in his tighty whities and she wore pants as big as I do, then it was hard to take them seriously. The next morning I ran out of the bungalow into the lake where everyone was washing, had a quick swim and some breakfast and then we took the taxi boats back to mainland where we were to make the journey to Koh Phangan.
