Laos to Bangkok

The trip to Bangkok went smoothly. After the Laos international train
(20bht) which just takes you over the boarder to Nong Khai station
where you get on the night train. The face value of my night train
ticket was 688bht for 2nd class upper berth with aircon. I didn't like
the set up quit as much as the night trains in Vietnam because on this
train there were no cabins just bunks with curtains running alongside
the aisle. The bed was fine and the top bunk is better I think cause
you're slightly more secluded. There was a restaurant car which was
cool. It was a social area but the food and beers were WAY overpriced
(120bht for a beer!). The train arrived the Bangkok Central train
station an hour later than the ticket said we would but that was fine
by me. We left Nong Khai at 6:20pm and arrived at about 730am.
