I think I fall for the guy who set next to me. His name is Mattias or maybe Matthías idk how to right his name. He is from the netherland and he forgot his sunglasses with me. I didn’t ask him for his number or his social media accounts so I can’t reach him know. Could you please help me find him…

My arrival time was delayed in 1h (chiang Mai to bkk 15h30) which made me lost my transfer to another city. Furthermore, no plugs on 2nd class and bathroom really bad. However, the landscapes alone the way are really beautiful and are worth it! My bad review is because I was so much affected by the delay arrival time.
