Goodbye Bangkok!

3rd

As we only booked one night in our hostel we had to be up and out by noon. This wasn't too much of a problem as we were able to leave our rucksacks at the hostel which meant we just had to find something to fill our day. We spent a few hours finding somewhere to stay in Koh Tao and then we went to our go to restaurant in Bangkok. It's not the best place but it's easy to find and we've had some good meals there!

The rest of the day was spent wandering around and killing time. We hit up an internet cafe a few times and even spent a few hours in Starbucks with the trendy Apple users. We were given a coupon for a free burger at Burger King so that sorted out dinner but my favourite activity of the day was our massage! Despite being taken off the main street to a tiny room where we were told to take our tops off, the massage went really well and my back and shoulders were feeling pretty good, and all for the bargain price of £3!

Our sleeper bus from Bangkok to Chumphorn where we get a connecting ferry to the island of Koh Tao left at 9pm so we checked in and were on our way. I'm not one for sleeping on buses but this overnight bus was pretty flash. Our seats reclined, we had foot rests and they even threw in a few blankets! It wasn't the best sleep I've ever had but if this is what it takes to get to some sunny Thai islands, I'll tough it out!
