....until the rainy season hit us! No coat, no brolly, no shelter, just torrential rain. We ran to the nearest phone boxes and spent 40 mins talking to a guy who was telling us he used to go boxing near our hotel and then everyone was telling us which bus to get.. a number 1... then a 2 to the station .... then a 44... all agreed 44 was the best one... they kindly sheltered us with a bit of plastic tarpaulin from who knows where. Then we ran in the extreme rain back to the boat stop.. back to the skytrain... looking like Mr and Mrs Wet T shirt... Oh yes, by the way, the Royal Palace we went to see? It had shut 40 mins earlier! All you can do is laugh and reach for the anitbiotics!
Off to Chiang Mai on the 8.40 am plane tomorrow, then we have to find the bus station and get the bus to Mae Sot at noon. We should get there at 6pm and there's only 2 stops for a wee! Hmmm... I can't wait to see what we end up writing next!
