We left the hotel
My hotel didn't serve us breakfast, though free breakfast service was written on booking confirmation.
So, we tried to eat at a nearby restaurant.
But, due to high price, we decided to buy breakfast at a convenience store and eat in front of the store.

So, we decided to use a taxi to reach the place. It costed us 200 THB. How rip off it was!
Khao Takiab is the temple located on the small mountain. Monkeys are living around the temple.
When my wife was about to pick plastic bag from her bag, some monkeys tried to rob her of the plastic bag.
Then, she was scratched by a monkey.

But, the train for Bangkok was turned out to have no vacant seat.
So, we headed for a bus stop bound for Bangkok.
According to a staff near the bus stop, the last bus bound for Bangkok had already been departed.
So, we were told to get to a mini bus terminal. By taxi, we went to the mini bus terminal.
We were told to ride a mini bus bound for Bangkok.
I paid fare. But, no ticket was issued.
Mini bus departed. It ran faster than surrounding vehicles.
