Travel to Bangkok

I've just made it to my hostel in Bangkok. I'm staying at a place called REFILL NOW! So far it looks good, clean and accessible to all the sights by subway.

It was quite a journey to get here. I left Ko Phangan at noon yesterday. A taxi picked me up and took to the pier and then I took a ferry to get to the mainland. After that everyone from the ferry piled onto a bus that dropped us off at some point along the side of the road. At the ferry we were given stickers written in Thai to wear, this was to divide us into groups based on what travel agency we had booked the trip through. There were only 3 people in my group and I later switched to another. We travelled by Tuk Tuk, which is a motorbike with a trailer attached, where the passengers sit. We were dropped off at a restaurant for dinner. The bus was late by over an hour so the person in charge decided to drive us to the bus in his pickup truck. Eleven of us piled into the back. It wasn't covered, it was nighttime, dark and raining. What an adventure. We finally got to the bus and it was pretty full. We drove overnight and arrived in Bangkok at 6 am.

I took the subway to the hostel. The subway is pretty simple to use and the workers were very helpful directing me to where I was going.

I plan on staying in Bangkok for four nights before I head to Chiang Mai.
