On Saturday we left lovely Prachuap Khiri Khan to head South. The second class train option was fully booked, so we has no option but to travel third class. This cost was around £1 per person. The three hour journey down South was hot and quite unbearable at times in the busy carriage. We stood for about 45 minutes, before managing to get a seat next to an open window blasting in hot air. Our next stop is Chumphon. We knew this town was going to be a little quiet. But the purpose of the visit was to sort out a visa extension. The town is mainly used as a ferry departure point for Koh Tao, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan (full moon party). I did look at options to revisit these islands as it's been a few years. However it is peak season so the prices have risen dramatically. Unfortunately our stay hasn't been very exciting. We are staying slightly out side the town (which we knew to be the case) in a modern hotel....
