Koh Chang to Bangkok

Koh Chang to Bangkok
7/7/2011

We had to check out of the bungalow by noon, so we had a lazy morning of packing and getting breakfast.  We got eggs and coffee. :)  We took off around noon and caught a taxi up to the ferry.  We made it just in time for the 1pm ferry.  We then caught the taxi back to the bus stop on the side of the road. 
We had about 30 minutes until the bus came, so we got some lunch.  I think we got cashew chicken and rice.  We weren't too hungry, so we just split one order.  The bus ride was rather uneventful, which is a good thing. :)  Aside from me almost dying, that is.  I was taking a drink of water and the first little splash of water went down my windpipe.  Before I had a chance to react, the rest of the water bottle was in my mouth.  So, I started gagging through my nose to avoid spraying an entire mouthful of water all over the bus.  I was literally drowning in my seat.  The convulsions lasted about 30 seconds until my eyes were running and my lungs had expunged most of the water.  I was then able to swallow the water in my mouth and proceed to properly cough the rest of the water out.  Needless to say, it was not very pleasant.  But I survived, which is all that matters in the end anyway. :)

We made it to Bangkok around 7:30pm and took the subway to the stop nearest our hostel and walked from there.  It wasn't too hard to find and we dropped our bags off before heading to the street for some food.  We got some satay and chicken and ate back at the hostel.  It was hot in the main area where we were eating, so we headed up to the dorm room once we finished.  Then it was teeth-brusing time and then to bed.
So, it was kind of an uneventful day.  Sorry... :)
