Woke up around 9:30am this morning, got packed and ready, went online till about 11:30. I realized I had spent too much money in Bangkok. Close to RM 900, mostly on food and drinks, and nothing really substancial. It slowly eats away at the cash without realizing it. I have spent more on food this one week than I usually do in 1 month in KL. Spending RM50-70 a day on food and water.

Changed some more US dollars that I had kept aside, had a tripple whoper Burger and bought my Thundercats t-shirt. I needed another book for the long journey and bought Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse. He is my favourite Author after all. Left Khoa San at 11:50, and getting to the Train station was really hard. The Cab driver didn’t know “train staion”, or “Hualampang”. I ended up having to show him my train ticket, then he finally got it.

I was glad to see the train already in the station there, and I boarded it quickly, enjoying the air conditioning reading my book. The train actually goes all the way to Butterworth, but I decided I wanted to spend some time in Hat Yai, and switch trains directly to Kuala Lumpur. I am joined by a group of Thais girls sitting all around me, 2:45 the train leaves. Ordered my dinner, which will arrive at 7:30, and I am left to read my book.
