The train was late and it took over 15hrs to get here. When I first lied down in my bunk, I thought, someone really stinks around here. Then I realized that it was me! I went for a 1 hr herbal massage a few hrs ago and that stuff really stinks.
I took the fan cart but even though it was boiling hot in the beginning, it got cool later in the night and I had to use the blanket. I'm glad I took the fan instead of the AC cart. Otherwise I would have needed to put my fleece jacket on.
I shared a ride with an English couple, Mitch and Sam, that I met on the train. We didn't book anything but was going to the same guesthouse. We ended up sharing a triple room because that was the only thing available. It was only 450 baht for the room so we paid 150 baht each. The room was nice and clean with own shower and toilet. They only had one key for the room so we hung out in the evening and checked out the night market.
Mitch was willing to try the crickets and bugs with me but we couldn't find any. We all went for a massage after. It's even cheaper here at 150 baht per hour. I saw some on the streets for only 120 baht per hour but I like the ones in the shop which usually has AC.
M & S signed up for a treking tour for the next day. They invited me to join but I wanted a rest day from the train ride. I checked out the next day to look for a single room elsewhere. I would of stayed in the current guesthouse but it was 350 baht per night and it doesn't have wifi.
After walking across town (within the city wall), I found a place with free wifi. I was tired of walking so I just settled there. Unfortunetly they were out of en-suit so I had to go for the single room with shared facilities, sharing with one other person. It's only 200 baht, less than what I paid for the 1 hr herbal massage from Bangkok. (280 baht)
After I settled in, I went to book an overnight treking tour that departs the next day.
