Today we both knew was going to be an awful day, our ferry back to Donsak was at 12.30 and when we got to the pier it was absolutely rammed, we checked in at the desk and then tried to find somewhere to stand in the shade so that we didn't burn to death in the sun! The ferry was delayed and we were stood around for the best part of an hour just waiting. When we got on the ferry we paid about 50p each to sit in the Emerald Class part which had aircon and showed movies. The ferry took about 3.5 hours so it was worth it!! They showed a film called something like Death Race which was pretty good and then we saw a bit of Avatar. When we got to Donsak we had about a 2 hour bus journey to Surat Thani train station, the bus had aircon but it was rubbish. I suddenly remembered I had a pocket fan that Mandie had given me in my bag so I got it out and used that!! When we got to Surat Thani we had 8 hours wait until our train at 1.30am. I had read about a cheap hotel near the station so we went and got a room for the few hours we were there so we could chill out and have showers. The room was terrible, it only cost about £4 so we couldn't really complain but it was bad, it had bugs on the bed and all sorts! We went to a nice looking coffee shop and got some food and a drink then went back to the room and watched a movie on the iPad. We decided to go to the 7-11 for some food so we didn't have to buy the terrible food on the train but there wasn't really that much to get in the 7-11. The sandwiches didn't look edible so I got some Pringles and a croissant... We went back to the room
and had showers then watched another movie. We went to the train station about 1am and typically our train was delayed, only for about 30 mins or so, so it could have been worse!!
