Tues 10th Feb - Thailand Again

FFS – why do I do it?! I’m hungover to hell and have to repack my sodding rucksack first thing in the morning and in the dark, so as not to wake up everyone in the room!!! I apparently attempted to pack late last nite – although when I woke up this morning and discovered my rucksack, I had to redo it all over again – what a mess I must’ve been in……please, no more alcohol – its just tooooooo bad for you. I’m constantly running back n forth to the bog, trying to be sick but failing miserably. I have Aaron – who is still pissed – trying to yatter on to me – SHUT UP!!!!!!!! I WILL VOMIT ON YOU IF YOU KEEP TALKING TO ME!!!!!!!!! I think he got the message…..
We check out and I manage to hold down a sprite – thank you god for the invention of cold, fizzy lemonade…..then its all good once I can manage a roll! Yay! I’m cured – however, the now hungover Aaron is suffering big stylie – hahaha – bring on the suffering assface!!!! He made my life hell this morn, revenge is sweet J
A taxi is called and we clamber into it around 10am and head to Hanoi airport. We need to get our flight back to Bangkok at 12.50, so there’s plenty of time. Airport is mobbed and no decent information on the telly screens, so we wing it and just pile on up to an Air Asia desk. Great Success, the desk opens in 5mins! Whoopwhoop = unfortunately, when we check in, they’re only allowing 15kgs per bag – wtF?! I’ve somehow gone up to blimming 19kg – even though I’ve not bought anything……..raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……………poor old dave goes off to pay the fees and away we go through to immigration. No dramas and we all get onto the Air Asia flight fine.
It’s a gorge new plane with hardly anyone on it!!! Why the hell did they have to charge us for excess baggage?! Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa again….ugh anyways, I’m almost nearing my beach holiday time, so I keep the Hayley Rage inside……not long til we meet up with Eve n Richard - yay!! Canny wait for girlie chats J
Flight is 2.5hrs long and we chill out at Bangkok airport for a few hours as we have time to kill before the sleeper train at 7.30pm tonight. We scoff a nice chinese type lunchy thing and grab a taxi to Huamphalong train station. It’s a nice hot n muggy 30 odd degree heat – ugh – I hate Bangkok – especially as it’s rip off central…..however, we have our wits about us this time and no fecker is gonna rip us off J we get to the station and some ‘tour guide helper’ wants to help us with the trains – JOG ON WOMAN – we have our tickets and yes, we already have accommodation – beat it!!!! Sorry, but I hate this place and their rip off merchants!
Few hours in the station flies by and off we pop to the sleeper train. I’m half expecting the sleeper to be a wee bitty better than the vietnam sleepers but I’m disappointed….no separate cabin for you, just a mass of people all in the one carriage and a wee curtain that separates your bunk to the outside world….ugh…however, dave thinks its wicked – aye whatevs.
We get chatting to this american lass called Karla, who is sleeping in the bunk beneath Aaron and she is off to Koh Tao before heading to samui and then PhaNagan. She’s dead nice and ends up getting ratarsed with dave n aaron – I’m still hungover so decide to behave and keep a sober head on it all. Especially as we have to get up at 6am – ugh – they end up drinking to all hours and get told to go to bed. The waitress lady befriends us but then ends up ripping us off with the beers – as always – raaaaaaaaa!!!
I head to bed at midnite but them lot are still drinking…
