Taking the night train (before)

So we had planned on taking the night train tonight for Chiang Mai. Accordingly, we tried to get our tickets from Bangkok's train station before leaving for Ayutthaya this morning. To be told that the train was full.

Panicked, we jumped in the train for Ayutthaya and started for;uling alternative plans. To take a day train the next day, and thus spending the night in Ayutthaya, to take the plane, which meant travelling back to Bangkok and finding a new place to sleep... But first things first, we would start by asking at the ticket office in Ayutthaya what choices we had.

The answer was that they had two sleeping berth for us, separate but in the same coach... exactly what we needed! Well, and if the ticket says "man" and probably means that we are in sleeping coach for men... well, we shall see. Which is why there will be a "taking the night train (after)" coming-up!
