Island Paradise
So dispite our initial idea of getting a cheap flight to Koh Samui, we instead opted to take the night train as it was about a quarter of the price, and also saved on a nights accomodation. It was actually really enjoyable and definitely a highlight in itself! The train car was clean and comfortable. The toilet however, was something else altogether. Two footplates and a hole! Not just a hole into a tank, but a hole straight through the bottom of the train onto the tracks! I’m sure a small child could fall through that hole!! We left at around 5.30pm and arrived in Surat Thani pretty much 12 hours later. We needed to wait for a few hours for the first ferry to take us over to Koh Samui. It took a little longer than expected, but I was really enjoying the sunshine!
