One Night In Bangkok... again.

After our most excellent adventures in Chiang Mai we boarded a train that would take us back to Bangkok for our flight out. The train quite small but it did well. We each had a seat facing one another with a table between us then when it started to get late a guy came around and folded up everyone's seat and it created a bed. Then the overhead compartment was let down and there was another bed. Dayton took the top which he later explained was like sleeping in a coffin. I slept so great that night except I woke up with bug bites all over my legs. They itched incredibly bad and would for days. It was a good thing that all the 7-11's in Thailand carry a great product called Tiger Balm. This stuff works miracles although it only lasts a short time until the itching comes back. We got back to Bangkok after nearly 20 hours on the train and I couldn't wait to leave again for the airport. Bangkok didn't really leave a good taste in my mouth the last time we were there. I don't really even remember much of what happened that second time back there, I seemed to have blocked it from my memory. One thing I must mention though is at the night market we were strolling around and we heard a guy playing Johnny Cash on the guitar. A Thai guy was all dressed up like a cowboy and was busting out some old school country. We were so stoked that we stopped to tap our toes and slap our knees. He eventually invited us to actually sit down at one of the tables that was set up and we were immediately asked to order our drinks. We each got a Coke and drank it slowly. After a few more songs we were told we had to order more drinks (specifically alcohol) or else move along. So we got up and left but not before hearing our Thai Cowboy friend singing "you got me on my knees rayra!" Not sure if he knew we were laughing at him or not. The night ended well but I was really excited to move along on our journey and start exploring China! Next Stop: Guang Zhou
