April 28, Panic Farmers once again gather at Alexia café. This is our last day together in Laos
‘Francesca’ takes off on her bicycle to goddess knows where
Miguel dreams of further travels
Toshiro dreams of being a rock star
as a Tuk Tuk carries 5 of us to Friendship bridge, a crossing point between Thailand and Laos, 23km East of Vientiane (above 4 photos by Lek)
there’s no footpath crossing allowed. You have to take this shuttle bus between two countries, 4000 kip or 15 bahts
Last time I see the great Meckong, as the bus carries us and local travelers nestled in memories and thoughts
leaving 30 days of Laos, entering Thailand again.
Immigration, custom, blah blah blah… always tiresome process
and we are in Nong Khai, Northeastern town of Thailand. Jump….! with all our luggage
from there Lek and I go straight to the train station, for two tickets of 2nd class seat on the night train to Bangkok
shakey and bumpy, Thai night trains are always bit hard on your back. 2nd class sleepers are comfortable, 2nd class seats are pretty good too, for they recline far enough to make your bed, one thing you should avoid is 3rd class seats, they are upright narrow box seat with no room between you and other fellow passengers
kitchen on the train
Military general poses for my camera, in the dining car
next morning we wake up over the lake
nearing Bangkok, we pass an abandoned expressway project. Small reminder of bubble economy and colluption
9:30 in the morning of April 29th, 3 hours behind the schdule, finally we are in Hualamphong, Bangkok central train station. Been away since the night of February 5th
