Thailand: Bangkok - Chumpon - Koh Tao

The wake up call this morning was at 4am - welcome to vacation! Thank goodness I had the bathroom lateshift again, at 4:45am. Luxury. :)
We had taken a picture of the street name where the cab driver needed to take us to catch our bus, but apparantly there are several streets with a smilar name or the cab driver simply didn't have a clue. He stopped for the first time at a street that was definitely not the right one, so after showing him the pic on my phone, where the street sign was in front of a 7 Eleven, he was like "Ahh." Only problem is there are 7 Elevens EVERYWHERE in Bangkok. So a few minutes later he dropped us off in front of one, just not the right one. Stranded in unknown Bangkok streets at 5:20am we started walking and asking people. So we were pointed in the right direction and after walking about 10 mins with all our luggage we found the place.
Thankfully the bus was quite empty so we each had two seats to ourselves and were able to catch up on some much needed sleep while seeing bits and pieces of Thailand's inside.

Once we arrived in Chumpon we barely had time to go to the bathroom ang get a glimpse of Thailand's tropicsl paradise before we had to got on the high speed catamaran taking us over to Koh Tao.


When we arrived on Koh Tao the taxi from  our accomodation was already waiting and took us up the steepest narrowest road ever to our pool villa. The view is worth it though! Three days in this island paradise await us.
