July 4th Ban Krut=Ban Grood
Apologies for the lapse in posts!
We got to Ban Krut just fine! The train was also indeed just fine. Quite fast aside from being late of course! Seats were ok, we got some at least and let’s be honest, you can’t beat that price! There were loads of ladies going up and down the aisle selling food, drinks and snacks! We got ourselves a drink in a bag 🤣🤣. Troy had iced tea and I did iced coffee of course! 10 baht each! Lots of things I didn’t recognize, so passed on all that.
The person in the brown shirt from the BanGrood Arcadia was right there waiting for us as promised when the train pulled in, it was raining and continued to rain all evening. We did make a dash down the street at some point for food. We WAY overate! But it was so delicious! I got Tom Kha Gai and thai omelette again. Troy had fried chicken (wings) and a noodle dish! All very good!
The hotel is right across the street from the beach, but our room is way at the back of the resort. So it’s a hike to get to the front for breakfast or the pool etc. but the price difference for the rooms was significant, so it is what it is.
We also could only get two nights here in the cheap room. So we either have to move to a $80/night room or move on after two nights. We will see…
There were a lot of dogs in Prachuap and there are just as many here! Not sure if I mentioned the dogs in Prachuap but they are everywhere! And no collars and clearly riddled with fleas. They typically don’t look hungry and apparently they get to roam free and just go home at night in their own?? They don’t seem too concerned about where they hang out either as the middle of the road seems to be a favoured spot!
There are a few smart(er) ones that seek shelter from rain however!
