Found cheap tickets for bus to Bangkok, thought they were a bargain, too much of a bargain? Today we both went to the temple but only I was fool enough to climb over 1300 steps to the summit in the searing heat, I rang the sweat from my t-shirt at the top :-p Amazing view over the surrounding countryside and Krabi town below. Back to town for the bus to Bangkok for 3:30pm. First we got dropped off round the corner for 4 pm, then we spent the next hour in a minibus driving all round town picking up random locals, then the minibus took us all the way to SuratThani (hate the place) for 7pm. A pick-up truck then took us to the actual bus for 7:30pm, at a cafe in the middle of nowhere with other foreigners waiting. After what seemed like hours we finally set off!
