We have beaten 01.19 clock. For 1 hour until our train arrives. I got it to me f √ º r about an hour, "according to √ º furnishings" make.
Thank treasure: *

At the station we are not alone. A woman waits with her child as well. And in one corner are strange S √ § CKE on the floor. But still Mysteri √ ∂ water - they move. The contents: apparently locusts f √ º rs gene √ ∂ food be taken. Pretty disgusting.

Naja. As usual, the train was almost an hour later √ § ter. However, since we only had 3 hours of driving ahead of us, we ventured into the 3rd Class (The price f √ º r 2 persons was 70 baht. Ca 1.50, Ç ¨). Quite the style of a train, it had not, but it went.

Since the tickets are always with assigned seating, we looked if our were free. Since it was not the case, we set out to us. When the inspector came, he made as It goes √ § √ § Pl ndlich our free tze. What was good though. Because stand for 3 hours h √ § tte no more of us around the clock berstanden √ º.

The locals did it so well it was convenient.

Soon I noticed a group of M √ § nnern watching us and we talked about √ º / joked. I noticed this because a young man looked towards √ ° over only to the group - to us and started to grin.

Since a while, went slowly came a vascular unwell √ ° to hl, that the M √ § men to something f √ º k √ ∂ nnten lead.

Even with a loud defense strategies in mind, we finally arrived in Nong Khai (by approximately 6 clock). The group L √ ∂ coast, for Eq √ º ck on quickly.

Something √ º surprised by the station (as this green √ is ∂ √ üer, as the effect of Khon Kaen. It is Khon Kaen is a small town with pubs and bars, and Nong Khai, more like an (at least in the morning) small sleepy town), were We also addressed the same from one TukTukFahrer. He wanted 30 baht / person, but as we had only 50 baht small, we could act. However, we wanted to direct our ticket f √ º r to 07.03. Buy to Ayutthaya. We lost a good man in some way from the eyes.

A different order TukTuk appeared to make only heavier than expected. Because everyone wanted 50 baht / person. Almost twice as much. Pretty brazen. But we have yet found one that drove us from the railway station 2 km away in the city :)

He invited us out to the temple of Wat Sri Kunmuang. From there, it was not soo much on the courage Mee Guest House, which we had chosen. Full of hope we went because we had previously have email contact.

Total publ √ ∂ pft we found that the reception opens only at 8 clock √ ∂. The occasional √ ü then about 1 1/2 hour wait. Therefore, we made ourselves at one of the existing tables or H √ § √ ° hammocks according furnishings. It was the first time on holiday feeling. H √ § hammocks between palm trees, overlooking the Mekong River as a replacement sea and on the other side of the river to Laos one :)

Shortly after 8 the woman told us that we wait for clock to 11 m √ º ssten (there is check out), then f √ º SSTE it, whether that matching is free.

We totally annoyed and m √ º de, √ º berlegten whether we should stay or go. Since we offered the woman at the reception, as long as hammocks to relax in one of the H √ §, we stayed.

I had the equation √ º ck can sleep at about 1 1/2 hours √ ∂ k. Matt, unfortunately not: (since √ ° about its H √ § ngematte the thatched roof was replaced, he has woken me either. (Naja.

Shortly after 11 clock, the good woman told of the reception that a double f √ º r 380 baht freely re w √ §. Since we wanted a cheaper room, we said that we are looking for something else first. Us but precaution should still be on the list. Cost as other rooms as well as around 300 baht, we thought: shit Back to the 80 baht and in a hurry to √ º.

How can I find a pretty good decision! Our Double is a one-room bungalow with a small terrace and a Dschungelbad: D

Matt picked up after a refreshing shower and something to eat first then his well-deserved sleep :)

Even at the station in Khon Kaen was Matt's red eye. Did not know that an √ √ § Ñderchen burst w re. Well Nope. When we arrived it was quite red, a little pus and swollen. (After showering it then looked better and we thought at first that it will work again, but after his sleep, it was pretty bad: (A Gl √ º ck that around the corner to a hospital (Nong Khai hospital) is. With anf √ § nglichen communication difficulties at the front desk sent us then to the emergency room. It did not look sooo clean as ours. But the supply was optimal. checked directly. it with a saline √ ∂ solution ausgesp √ ° lt (which was pretty painful. () and eye drops I such a Entz √ º MEMORANDUM even once had, I was able to Gl √ º say ck, that the drops are good help, and (had the same drops are prescribed in Germany, so do not worry,. D)

Then we went to the House to go √ ∂ Rende floating bar and ate a snack. Was pretty yummy :) Had hlingsrollen Gem √ √ ° ° Sefr. Matt's food was delicious suuuper - but unfortunately, super-sharp: \ So if you're wondering: spicey or not, there does not answer: a bit spicey ;)?

After a very restful night in our mid-range hotel (we have 7, Ç ¨ paid: D), we are pretty well rested and motivated.

Last night at 2 clock it goes on the train to Nong Kai and I can tell you, I'm glad drum.

Why?
I'll tell you why. The city is noisy, very dirty and full of Germans, who have a Thail √ § nderin towed. So all in all much too touristy and we √ ∂ m gene untouristisch prefer and why we look forward to after the train, we will climb by 2 clock.

At 5 clock then we come in Nong Kai :)

... "Only" 7 hours. It was only half as strenuous as the trip from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai. But good ;)

In the morning it went off early as usual, because we wanted to take the bus clock by 11. Clock at 10.30, an employee drove us from the hotel to the bus station for free. He showed us where we could buy a ticket and shortly after, even our bus came.

Sch √ ∂ n again with AC. Then read it to endure.

At other bus came back and again Verk √ § shore on the bus to sell food. This we declined, but as always thanks.

As it was already getting dark slowly, we arrived in Khon Kaen.

We looked pretty exhausted us one of the G √ § √ § stand on user, which were listed in the Travel Guide √ º Guide (First Choice Guest House). We unanimously decided that the room or the G √ § guesthouse was not the best / is. Pretty dirty, winding and above all it was really hot in the room. And by that I mean it REALLY, REALLY hot √ ü. Since you already sweating just from view.

So we are back out. The owner was still friendly and invited us to come to Fri √ √ ° ° hst ck again.

First checked where n G √ § √ § HIGHEST should guesthouse / hotel and go. There have been abnormally hot, so we were glad, after a long search, the good St √ º ck (Phew Inn Hotel) to find. A 4-st √ ∂ ckiges hotel. There was only air conditioning and a double will cost 300-350 baht (These are approximately 7 - 7.50, Ç ¨). This gave it a bath with hot shower, WiFi and TV with some English and German speaking channels (German wave Asia). Only Batman Begins was, unfortunately, on thai; (

And exp √ § is reasonable to point out that we had there the best ever bed. So the mattress her :) The entwerder were too hard, too soft or it's laid up with the suspension in the R √ º GUUUUUT had ... Accordingly, we have slept well :) Did we ever rest so f √ º r the following days.

Tomorrow we will go n √ § namely the train to Nong Khai. From Khon Kaen, a three-hour ride. Sounds like a not sooooo hard, but we need m √ º all day to 2 clock at night berstehen √ º. Only then f √ § The first train carried away. The n √ § HIGHEST by about 4.15 clock and then again at 5:05 of clock. Naja. Since we do not take so long, we've been in a hint of decadence, 3rd Class geg nnt √ ∂ (70 baht f √ º r 2 persons. They are about 1.50, Ç ¨). I'm curious. From au Bouveret √ it always looked like the Gem √ º tlichkeit an S-Bahn.
