The original capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya
We arrived safe and sound into Ayutthaya on the train. It only took 1 hr 45 minutes and we travelled in 3rd class for Baht15! (Around 30p!) We got so much more than we expected, it was great, padded seats, fans in the carriage, luxury. I suspect we were in the wrong carriage and they couldn't be bothered to ask us to move when they checked the …

Waterfalls, insects and temples... After leaving Koh Tao, it was quite the journey to our next location, Kanchanaburi. 1.5 hour ferry ride, bus journey, 3 hour wait for the train at the station, which involved my first sighting of a thai rat - ergh! Then we experienced the second class sleeper train which, though not giving us our own little cabin, was absolutely fine.
