When we left we went to a nice hotel in Ranong.  It was 350B ($10) and had hot water.  I was so exited to take a shower.  It has been 11 days since my last real shower.  I have been swimming in the sea and rinsing with fresh water.  Of course there was the mud bath which did cleanse quite a bit but when mud is the closest you have come to soap in 11 days, a hot shower is ecstasy.  I felt like a princess, we had our laundry done at the hotel and had a nice dinner too.  Thanks Steve.
The day  bus was my idea as we would get to BKK around 12 midnight enough time to find a guest house and get a decent night sleep.  Wrong.  We ended up getting to BKK late around 3 and they took us to the bus station, not ko san road ( the opposite of what I wanted and the same as what I wanted the last bus to do)  Ugh.  So we walked around and saw a lot of drunk people and looked for a guest house.  We couldn’t find one and this didn’t help our mood.  Finally we saw a man walking out with a pack and asked if this one was full also.  He said yes all but one, the room he checked out of.  We convinced the clerk to give us that room even though it was a single and we had a place to crash.  What a crazy room, the size was a single bed plus two feet on the side one on the bottom.  The bed was a little softer than a sheet of plywood but who cares we could finally sleep.
