Short 'n Sweet; A Midsummer Night's Train Ride

Our Lopburi experience ended with some foot massages and a drink at the local travelers' bar.  Soon we were off to the train station to catch a red eye up to Chiang Mai.  The good news was, we had sleeper cars with nice comfy beds... The bad news was.... the beds were definitely meant for Thai people, and it turns out Trevor is a little big larger than the average Thai.


Nonetheless, it was an 11 hour train ride, so we played our cards, read our books, and set to sleep in Car # 12 of a Thailand railroad car.  Trevor and Eli took one car, and Carson and I took the one next door.  Whose team are you on???


vs.


If you said Trevlar and Eli than you lose.

Finally, we woke up in Chiang Mai, got off the train, and headed to our hotel, the Royal Princess.  Somehow they overbooked the hotel, so we ended up in the suite for 50 dollars a night.  Sweet!

It's started to rain a little bit, but that didn't stop us from beasting the elements and making it to this internet cafe so that we could book our flights to the dirty south (Phuket) and fill you in on our adventures.  Tonight we go see a Muy Thai boxing match, and tomorrow it's elephants or bust.  Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the California sunshine for us.
