Prelude to Full Moon Party

This has been a good week. Found employment in the area, but due to the floods I will only be starting in a few weeks. I thought I'd take this time to head down south, check out the islands.

Girlfriend and I head down to the central train station in Bangkok, Hua Lamphong Railway Station. We arrived late as per usual, and ended up missing the last train to Surat Thani. Luckily we are guided to a travel agent on the second floor, and managed to secure bus tickets.

We take a Tuk-tuk to Khaosan, and after an hour or so of waiting, we get on the bus headed south.
We travel overnight, but it's a long trip. I'm not the only one nipping down into the bathroom for a sneaky cigarette.

It's almost 6am as we arrive on the coast, at a small little pier close to Chumporn. The sun will be rising soon...

I crack open a Singha and light up a marlboro as we wait for the ferry to the island...
