Postcards from Thailand #6: My Acti-On-The-Buses Report Card: 28 February 2023

(Edited)

"WELCOME" said the brightly painted young lady, a testament to Thailand's incredible ability to use fibreglass to create tat.

Let's not also forget that this is Thailand and as such, the friendly English greeting is completely wasted.

No amount of friendliness though can hide the fact that this is a bus service area where the overnight buses stop their solitary 20 minutes on a 12 hour journey for you to eat the free meal that you get as part of the ticket price, and to tempt you into buying dusty, yet colourful boxes of some locally made speciality snack with a faded and unreadable sell by date.

But I do have to admit that the food at this particular place which we stop at on the Southbound leg isn't half bad.

There were plenty of choices for the weary traveller with a numb bum at midnight although I kept it simple with the dish I recognised...

This is Grapow. Basically pork mince with basil and chillies topped with a fried egg and available at almost every place that sells food in Thailand. Incredibly, the fried egg was still warm, quite a rare occurrence as I learned that in Thailand you can cook fried eggs and then eat them cold later......hmm.

After quickly bolting it down, there's just time for a quick tinkle...

Hopefully you don't need any other 'movements' unless you've got ultra bendy knees and super strong thigh muscles.

But even this is better than the horror of horrors, the toilet on the bus. No pictures. Even your fearless professional travel writer won't venture to the source of the stench on the bus!

Top Travel Tip
Never choose a seat on the bus near the rear or on the front row.

Just time to say goodbye to the cute cat that's sits atop the ATM memorising PINs and then it's all aboard for the next, non-stop 8 hours, with a final chance to pick up any manner of travel sickness pills, imodium, laxative or sleeping tablets...or even a combination!

"Come on Butler, get a move on!"

I hope everyone is having a great week and I send one and all, my best wishes
