We have only one week left after today and we are planning on revisiting Koh Tao. I could say that we are going back because we know it and love it, and because we know how to easily get to there and then to Bangkok from there, and because it will be a good place to end our travels but the truth is that we are going back because it has the best chicken sandwiches that we have ever had. Seriously imagine two full breaded chicken breasts with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and onion on a delicious baguette with mayo and mustard (mustard being in short supply in Southeast Asia). All this for $2, how could we pass that up?
Our time in Tanah Rata has been pleasant. I get to wear my jeans and sweatshirt most mornings and evenings which makes things extra exciting. I haven't worn my jeans since Scotland and for some reason they came out of their stuff sack smelling like nachos. I don't know if that is good or bad but it made us both crave mexican food. In the afternoons we have spent most of our time reading or walking. We have gone on a couple of short hikes/walks; one through the town garden park which was very nice and one to some water falls that weren't very impressive.
We are moving on tomorrow to Butterworth (yes that is a real city) and from there we intend to take the train into Thailand and then a night train to Chumphon where we will eventually cross over to Koh Tao. It will be more than 24 hours of travelling by the end but it will be the last big stretch before our flights out. Here's hoping for straight paths.
