The Return Journey from Koh Si Chang

I was back at the Koh Loi pier, and decided to take a walk around, looking at the souvenier shop, then I was right next to the Goddess of Mercy shrine, so I decided to enter, but unfortunately I don’t have any more small change, and besides it was almost 5 PM, so I decided to head back, along the way I was looking for motorbike driver, but none seems to notice me, and eventually there is tuk tuk that understand what I want. So I hop on, and on the way he grab an envelop given by someguy in a car, seems like something dodgy. Anyway he drop me back at the bus stop, and I asked him how much, he told me 50 Baht, so I just paid him.

Then I walk to the bus stop, and looking at the bus, there is no mention about Bangkok, and the guys asked me where do I want to go. I told him Ekamai station Bangkok, and he told me to hop on the van. So I did, and it was cramped to the max like the others. Eventually some passenger get off, and the lady who took the fare told me that I can move to the front when the guy in yellow shirt get off. Then eventually she asked me where I want to go, and I said Ekamai, she doesn’t seems to understand, and the guy sitting next to me asking me whether I understand Japaneese, I told him I didn’t. Then I move to the front, and she said something to the guy, who kindly offered to show me the way, the lady explain that thevan only goes to Bang Na, not to Ekamai, so I said ok and paid him 100 Baht for the fare.

The traffic back was horrible, and eventually we get back on freeway and I notices some of the building that we passed on the way this morning. so I know this was definitely going back to Bangkok. Then eventually the guy moved next to me and indicated we had to hop off. He will show me where the BTS station is because he is also heading the same way. He stop by to take a leak (boy it was loooong). We walk about 500 meter and then turn left, and there it was BTS station, thank God, now I can go home. I said thank you to him when he hop off at On Nut station, he replied with don’t mention it in Thai.

I decided to stop by Asok to get to Terminal 21 and top up my phone data package. I had fried oyster, and it was good after the long and memorable trip.
