Second stop? Surat Thani

About 500 kilometers flying due south from Bangkok is today’s destination Suratthani, which is the most populous province (more than 1 million people) among the provinces in southern Thailand. It is located on the east coast of the Malayan Peninsula, bordering the Gulf of Thailand. Surat Thani means "the city where good people live" in Sanskrit in India.

? In addition to the main runway, the airport also has a taxiing runway. With more than ten flights departing and arriving every day, it should be a larger local airport. The airport is far away from DownTown. The airport bus takes nearly an hour to reach the town center, and the dock is right on the riverside. The bus driver was very enthusiastic and took me to the boat ticket office, where I realized I had made a mistake. I have taken a night ferry from Koh Tao to Surat Thani before. It is a large car ferry that mainly carries cars. The second half has a cabin with a clean and comfortable bed for each person. The problem is that the air conditioner is often too strong. However, this boat is a daytime flight from Surat Thani to Koh Tao. The so-called Night Boat is a small, custom-built boat that I don’t know. It has no air conditioning and poor sanitary conditions. Look at the heavy rain outside, think about making do with it this time, and hope that there are no bed bugs, fleas or the like. After settling my luggage in the cabin, I was already feeling hungry. I went to a nearby food stall in the rain and found that it was Thai-Chinese food. The stall owner was probably an old overseas Chinese. (***200THB, about 40 yuan) Such emergencies often happen when traveling. I have to find accommodation tonight and take a Ferry flight with good conditions tomorrow. Considering the weather, I chose a general boat with poor conditions. At once. Most of the people going to the outlying islands are Europeans and Americans. Seeing that there are so many white girls there, I feel relieved.
