Twelve In A Row Part 6

At The Train Station

After our appointment with the priest at Daruna Nu Kroh, we got inside the church for a silent prayer then took some photos and  left with a peaceful heart .

As usual we have to walk for a distance to the  waiting shed.  It was terribly hot! We rested a while then we heard the looong horn blasted all the way by the driver  (our reactions explained to the other  passengers we're new to this place)   announcing us passengers to be ready.  It was our new experience and what surprised us the most was the fare. We were left mouth-opened when we  discovered that the fare was only18 Baht as compared to the 300 and 400 baht the other drivers were charging us before!

We dropped Elia to her school and both of us had to find our way back to Victory Monument.From Victory to Aranya Prathet   then our beloved Wangnamyen is our travel target. Thinking about the long travel and its disadvantages ,I suggested to take a train. Koko agreed as it seemed to be the best idea.

I asked the officer about the train trip and  fare. Guess what? I was wrong . The fare was doubled and the worst is the train will be arriving at 4 pm.

We desperately took our baggage and headed to the van station bound to victory monument.

What do you think about our travel?

Twelve In A Row Part 5

The Motor bike Man

The three of us complained of foot ache due to extreme fatigue.  We had  been walking for miles and were getting to nowhere and seemed the time runs so fast.

Elia decided to call her friend to make sure we're on the right tract. We crossed the road and asked the two   guys for the station bound to Daruna Nu Kroh. They pointed left and right so this time I made sure I understood everything. I got my lesson at the Victory Monument. Do you remember?  We followed their instruction exactly without missing any point and at last we're now standing at the right place.They were of great help!

We waited for sometime but it seemed not any single  trace of pick- up as well as passengers except us in this place.  Under the bridge were parked motorcycles  and drivers enjoying their hammock tied between trees swinging back and forth. The motor cycle driver was intelligent and sensible. He offered for a ride  and his rent  but he has to have a company  to drive us since his cute motorcycle was built only for maximum of two passengers.We agreed for the payment  of 200 Baht and ( they will share) they brought us there. It was only twenty-minute ride!

Elia and I reached the place before Koko so, I gave the man the amount we agreed before we started but now  he was asking for 20 Baht additional. I didn't give any cent because we already agreed with no extra charge.

Elia and I waited for Koko and got inside to meet the priest.

Have you come across with such situation?
