A busy day out to Hua Hin

Friday was the first overcast day, so we decided to take a day trip to Hua Hin.

We took the slow train from Cha-am lasting around 25 minutes. It was a really busy service due to it being public holiday.

The 11.21 train was a 3rd class fan only service. With all windows fully opened I looked like a scarecrow when I got off at Hua Hin. 🤣 The total one way cost for two adults was 30p.

The purpose of today's visit was to get some provisions. Boots Chemist for dental floss, and Asia Books for some new fiction.

I came on holiday without any books (packing light), and regretted it. I've not found any local secondhand book shops. And any books in the guesthouses are in other European languages. I'm very happy that I've got something to read out on the balcony in the shade.

Our trip to Hua Hin was confined to the shopping mall which was very busy with European tourists. But it was a lovely respite from the heat outside. A worthwhile trip, but we were happy to be back on the train back to quieter Cha-am in the early afternoon.

Sri Lanka: the highs and lows of a month long trip

After a month of exploring Sri Lanka, we've packed our bags, ready to head back to the UK. I want to share some of the highs and lows of our adventure. Highlights Cheap : Our British pounds stretched remarkably far and we only spent a total of £1440 per person. The breakdown: £750 - Etihad indirect flights (1.5 hour stop off in Abu Dhabi) £690 - Bed & Breakfast, dinner, all transport (bus, train, taxi), cultural entrance fees, hospital treatment, laundry and grocery shopping. The People : Incredibly warm and hospitable, very friendly and eager to help. They really enjoyed stopping for a friendly chat on the street, and we felt genuinely welcomed as English tourists. Scenery : The views were breathtaking, particularly the hill country from a train. Weather : Consistently hot and sunny. To avoid the intense heat, we found it best to travel very early morning. Lovely Beaches : Beautiful and clean, though the steep drop off and powerful waves made sw...

Big Buddha

This week I visited Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen in Bangkok. The temple dates back to the Ayutthaya period, but a lot of what you see today is newer. The most striking feature is the massive Buddha statue (about 69m tall), completed in 2021, made of bronze and visible from quite far away. There’s also a large stupa (around 80m high) with detailed interiors, glass, green tones, and a central crystal structure. Getting there is easy via the MRT Blue Line or taxi. Definitely worth a visiting if you're exploring the Thonburi side of Bangkok.

Onwards from Sigiriya to Galle

Our journey from Sigiriya to historic Galle was a tale of two trains – one a nostalgic throwback, the other a test of endurance. We began our day by heading to Habarana train station. H abarana, like many stations in Sri Lanka, felt like stepping back in time. The ticketing process was entirely manual, with a gentleman appearing just before departure to issue tickets – cash only, of course! Another employee manually lowered the crossing barrier. Our previous train journeys in second class had been comfortable, but this 5.5 hour trip to Colombo was a different story. The seats were grimy, and the heat was stifling. We were thankful to finally pull into Colombo, an hour behind schedule, which meant we missed our connection. Luckily, we only had an hour's wait before boarding a new second-class carriage to Galle. This train was a marked improvement, and we settled in for the final leg of our journey along the coast. Galle city is a UNESCO heritage site, ...
