Heading to Koh Toa - 'Sleeper' Train


We are on the sleeper train tonight heading south to one of the Islands by the middle of Thailand. Koh Toa is the smallest one and has a population of 5000 people. It will be a massive change of scenery to come from Bangkok (A city of 6 million people) and head out to somewhere a bit more remote.
God knows how comfortable this train is going to be, they are meant to change the cabins over to beds at about 20:00 - We are on the train till about 04:00 where we get a bus to the pier and then catch a boat to the Island itself. Thankfully we have the rest of the day free after that so I may need this to recover from the boat trip and any sea sickness that may occur.
After that we are back to school and learn to dive for 4 days. Should be fun and can't wait.
