I had good intentions of getting out early to Three Whale Rock, seeing the sunrise and all that, but sleep got the better of me. I have heard there is always a crowd for it and, frankly, if there’s a crowd, I don’t want to be there. I would rather find places and times where there is almost no one around.

We had to go all the way out to the Suvarnabhumi airport (main airport in Bangkok) to get it. It took us about 1.5 hours to get there by train.
