VISA RUN

Well another visa run done. This one I think is the last to Malaysia. All went well until we got to the hotel. Our view was a 40 storey condo block. Not nice. Our journey back was worse. Our train had been cancelled due to (according to the Malaysians) a bridge carrying a train had collapsed. We then, with no assistance for the Malaysian Railways thank you very much, had 4 hours to get to Had Yai. (The first Thai train station across the border) Mission accomplished with the help of a Thai mini van driver and 70 Ringgits. Nobody at Had Yai knew anything about this and at first refused to give us a refund. Job done, 600 Baht refunded. The train was SO old and noisy. No food No DRINK. But like true boy scouts we were prepared, beer and wine in cooler bags. Ha Ha. One worrying thing was that all the train staff were armed. We still don't know what had happened. Flying next visa run.
