Commin Home

So after a few days in Laos i decided to come home.

I booked a bus that left Viang Vien at 1PM, it was alright. A mini bus with half assed A/C. We took that to Vien Tien and sat around for a bit then took another mini bus to the boarder. Again, i hate dealing with the boarder, they are way understaffed. From there we took a huge a/c VIP bus to bangkok. This bus was legit. The A/C was great, they made a good amount of stops, and it was a smooth ride.....well almost:( This bus had assigned seating which didnt really make a difference to me, as I am used to sitting beside people. I soon realized that no one was assigned next to me, BONUS! So I had a lil room to put my stuff and spread out. About 30 mins into the ride a girl who was riding in the back asked if she could sit in my spare seat because her's in the back of the bus didnt recline. I was pretty choked but what can i really say right? I should have known better tho, after riding busses for the last month and a half i should know that when you are given a break you should take it no matter what. I realized this after i said it was alright. I had a horrible ride to bangkok to say the least. This girl kept elbowing me and comming over to my side while she was sleeping, so i would just elbow her back and push her over, it was a battle the whole way! So let that be a word of the wise to you, when you get a gift like that when you are traveling, DO NOT GIVE IT UP! I got to Bangkok at 6 am and checked into the Rambiturri Inn, the place i always stay when i go to bangkok.
