We’re in Bangkok for the day, taking the sleeper train to Chumphon tonight (7:30 PM). All of the sleeping berths are booked, but we’re going to check a few times today to see if a berth has opened up. Otherwise it means sleeping in a chair. The Private Eye is off shopping near Siam Center, looking for a pair of pants that’s both functional and looks good. I’m at an Internet cafe just outside the train station, uploading photos and videos, as Internet connections are so much faster here than in Laos. So if you go back and look at some older posts, you’ll see some new pictures. I promise a video of the New Years fireworks and lanterns in Chiang Mai and a video of The Private Eye zip lining.
