18/04: Our last arrival in bangkok!

Flying back to Bangkok from Chiang Mai, what a luxery! :-) We then decided to compensate a bit by taking the express train back into town instead of a taxi. Cheaper & faster, go fot this option if you can. We will now also try and take the train to get to the airport for departure...gonna get fun with those big bike boxes ;-) Made an enroute stop at the bike shop (Bikezone @ Amarin plaza) where we collected our bikes packed in boxes. Then we had to get them back to the guesthouse...We immediatly realised that they wouldn't fit in one taxi together with the two of us, so two taxis. The first box was loaded into a taxi, very tight! Line hopped in & took off to the guesthouse. The bikebox from Ardan was a couple  of centimetes bigger so he had a hard time finding a taxi where it would fit in. The very friendly security guys from the shoppingmall tried to help him by stopping taxis, but they stopped the same model of car everytime, which was to small. Thanks, very kind, but not really helping guys :) So after a while, Ardan just stopped a taxi and put the box in the trunk (instead of in the backseat) and the taxidriver put some ropes around it because the box was sticking out of the trunk for the most part. Arriving at the guesthouse we put the boxes on a scale...: to heavy, SHIT! But no worries, we were still able to take some heavy things out of the boxes and put into our handluggage. Lets hope the scale in the guesthouse is correct, because now they're 23 kg, which is okay. For the rest of the day had a noodlesoups (one of the last :-( ) and wandered around chinatown.
