Cycling trend has become famous in Thammasat University since October 2012. Bike lanes have been extended to cover major areas and 3 bike rental kiosks were set up along the main travel routes in Rangsit campus.
My friends and I have been discussing buying bicycles and use them to travel on weekend. We came up with another idea not to buy the bikes but rent them from university for only 5 THB a day. Actually we are not allowed to rent bikes overnight but we decided to pay 100 THB fine for each bike instead. From my calculation, 110 THB for 2 days is worth a lot.
Train to Muak Lek would depart at 7.57 am on the next day so we negotiated with lady at kiosk to take bikes in that evening for free. Then we rode to Chiang Rak railway station to pick up tickets and back to pack rucksacks for next 2 days.

Woke up in the morning and gathered in front of Chiang Rak gate to buy "Gai Wow", the most delicious breakfast for healthy man who wake up early in the morning or else overnighter. After that we quickly headed to train station.
We arrived 5 mins before train schedule. The train was delayed like usual so we had some times to take photos. Our bike group was mentioned in the typical Thai railway's retro announcement to hurry up taking bikes to the platform. The train was coming... Poon Poon!!!
