Bangkok Hospital Visit

Arriving back in Thailand with just one day before I flew out to Burma I suddenly began to worry about my right leg and foot. I now had a series of cuts, bites and incisions that had swelled, were pussing and were very sore. The original cut from the rope-swing at Vang Viang had still not healed, I had three mosquito bites that I had scratched and seemed to be growing by the day, a big cut on the top of my foot from smashing it on a rock swimming in Ko Tao, and a small but widening hole on my big toe that was producing a substantial amount of pus and was now really painful to walk on, that I had got standing on a piece of coral in Ko Phangan.

Another train took us from Bangkok, south once more overnight to a wake-up call in Surat Thani, where we departed the train, panicked over where Cary had put the bus and boat tickets, before eventually finding them tucked in her bag and boarding the bus to the port of Don Sak on the eastern coast of Thailand, just as the sun was rising with a few hundred fellow travelers, who were also heading for the Full Moon Party.
