Saboya Bungalows
Saboya Bungalows Last day on Siboya, everyone is sorry to be leaving. I had a swim with the kids, water was so warm, but really salty. We stayed for lunch and then Mr Chung organised a minivan to Surat Thani. A number of the staff said their goodbyes. This has been like staying with a large Thai family.
The ride to Surat Thani wasn’t bad. Thai drivers are a bit scary, but you feel much safer knowing they can see around blind corners, over any rise, and they have more acceleration than a Ferrari despite it being an old Toyota bus, so can overtake up a hill. Amazingly we got to Surat Thani.
Surat Thani is not much more than a crossroad, everyone on their way to somewhere else. We found a street food vendor, got some Roti, stir frys etc and snacks for the overnight train ride.
The train was booked out, we ended up with Harry and I, and Isabella and Liam top and tailing in first class, and Corry and Mum in Economy Sleepers. The economy sleepers were fine, except for the people talking to all hours.
