The North of the South

---

hello from the north of the south!

so we left Laos and crossed the boarder yesterday we then boarded the night train at Nong Khai and arrived in Bangkok 1.5 hrs late at 7:40 - oh how reliable!

we wanted to go to Chumphon on the day train but it is a celebration day in Thailand today for Rama V so they were all fully booked

We didnt want to stay in Bangkok so we bought tickets to Hua Hin - another recommendation by Dave - thanking you!

We then boarded the 3rd class train (what an experience) to Hua Hin at 09:20 and arrived at 14:00 - an hour later than schedule!

Mastercard moment: Chris' face when the woman he is sitting next to on the train starts breast feeding!!!!!

Hua hin is noce we have been here for a few hours and checked into a place called the All Nations Guest House - recommended by our trusty lonely Planet Guide (thanks LP!)

we had a wonder on the beach and waled up to the internet place in town through the Hilton Hotel - OMG - I wish my Mum & Dad were here - they would have booked that place straight away!!!

tonight we are going to a nice italian restaurant we found.

Tommorrow we are heading for Chumphon (we'll get there in the end) on a supposed 3 hour train journey (i'm not entirely sure how they figure the times!) and we are hoping to stay in the Sude Guest House - if they have room.

Let us know what you have all been up to!

Lots of Love Astrid
