I now felt content to leave Ayutthaya, so got my tuk-tuk to drop me off at the station for the train to Bangkok, my final destination of the trip.  I got a ticket for the 12.19 train but the rail service in Thailand is fairly casual when it comes to arrival times, so I spent about an hour and a half sitting on the platform waiting.  An Indonesian guy who I had met on the boat yesterday happened to be going south too, so we got talking and this passed the time somewhat, but it was still a massive frustration.  When the train finally arrived it was pretty packed and was full of the standard third class carriages.  I had no problem with this (the ticket for the 1 and a half hour journey cost about 20 pence) and it actually meant that I got talking to an old local woman who was watching as I looked through the photos on my camera and was fascinated by some of the places I had visited. It was quite a touching experience to show somebody who had never left Thailand the outside world that she may never have seen.  I arrived in Bangkok at about 4pm and got a tuk-tuk to my hotel (I am paying for a slightly more expensive place) on Khao San Road, where I did pretty much nothing apart from grabbing a bite to eat and watching TV.  I have 3 days in Bangkok, so I didn’t feel that it was particularly pressing for me to get exploring.
