Sleeping on the train was actually very comfy! Thanks to my ear plugs & the rocking motion of the train, it felt like I was being rocked to sleep... except for the occasional lurch of the train when it stopped. Bathroom adventures: 1 each for Ryan & me. I held on for dear life especially since I happened to pick a rocky time for my potty break. Thank God for strong quadriceps & a great grip! =) So we both survived the night until our fellow neighbors woke up at 6 am and hollered out to their friends, "How'd you sleep? Har, har, har!" The ear plugs are definitely NOT sound-proof! So we're up again at the crack of down with ~1.5 hours before arriving at Chiang Mai. Already the scenery is completely different: Bangkok - dirty, hectic, city life with 10 million people crammed into it; Chiang Mai - green trees, rivers, and mountains around & we see clouds and possibly FOG! (yea!! Who'd have thought we'd welcome it back? But after yesterday, we need a reprieve from the heat for a bit!) We're going to love it here. I just know it and Ryan has already said he's having more fun than he expected! Yea!!
