It was uneventful day today as we woke up late. The weather was unbearable and unusual hot! We went to the Phitsanulok Train Station to purchase our ticket to Bangkok. We would spend the rest of the day drinking ourselves to drunk with our Thai peers. The beer was on us! Chang Beer: B330 per carton.We took our breakfast at the same foodstall we patronized during Day 4. Breakfast in Thailand is like having lunch or even dinner! Rice or noodle topped up with sauted dish of choice: beef, pork, chicken, fishballs or meatballs. It has been like this for close to one week now and I was yearning for a simple bread and butter with creamed tea or coffee!
These were what we had! I was asking for the yogurt again but apparently there was no more stock! Neal had rice topped with stir fried minced meat and sliced cucumber and lot…yeah..lot of ‘bird eye’ chillies. Neal fell in love this dish…whooaaaa! I had beef noodle soup but I prefer Donggongon's Hin Loi ngiu chap anytime!
These human-powered trishaws still thrive in out-of-town places such as Phitsanulok. Colorful Tuk-Tuks line up the edge of the road adjacent to Phitsanulok train station waiting for passengers.
Lunch in a small café inside the train station. Cosy atmosphere. All of us had yummy strong-flavoured iced Nescafe as it was hot outside.
Group picture with our nice host, Nataporn and friends. They looked so happy but actually looked sad when we boarded the train!
Our ticket! Looked pricey at B379 (beat the hell out of the beer price!) but we took a first class air conditioned coach with reclining chairs.
Not hard to spot which train went our way.
Out of focus snap of tipsy Neal taken by an equally intoxicated Andy. Lesson learnt: Don't take photographs when you are drunk...haha! Me? I was dead drunk and fast asleep already.
