Steve du Canada que j'avais rencontré la veille s'est laissé séduire par un chauffeur de taxi qui nous proposait de nous emmener voir une marché flottant et le tiger temple pour 2500 baht, juste le temps d'aller chercher mon appareil photo et nous voici embarqué pour cette aventure unique.

Pour aujourd'hui j'avais prévu une excursion au Tiger Temple, à 200km de Bangkok. J'ai donc pris un bus pendant 2 heures pour arriver à Kanchanaburi. J'ai vite visité un cimetière du Commonwealth oú 6000 prisonniers sont morts pendant la construction du chemin de fer japonais pendant la 2e guerre mondiale. Le cimetière est vraiment bien conservé, …

Island adventure done! It’s time to move on again & this time we are using the overnight train to get from Trang to Kanchanaburi via Nakon Pathom leaving at about 5pm. Finally a train, I wanted to use trains in Indo but it never came about. I love trains & I don’t know why but there is something relaxing about it, & not …

Today we decided to take a day trip to Kanchanaburi province which is home to the Tiger Temple. Tigers are my favourite animal and I have wanted to go here for a while as you are given the chance to get up close and personal with large adult tigers. However there is a bit of controversy surrounding this place as the tigers are really calm and …

So we got up this morning at the ungodly hour of 5:30. We're on holidays so it’s just not right. We dragged ourselves to get ready and then headed down to breakfast for ten minutes before our bus came to pick us up on our tour for the day. The bus came just before 7am and we headed around and picked up other passengers and then swapped mini …

Nuestro viaje a la historia: yupi!!!!...nos habían dicho que los buses a Kanchanaburi salían a eso de las 9:30 en la mañana así que nos levantamos y partimos al terminal… al llegar allí, resultó que no quedaban pasajes para esa hora así que a esperar hasta las 12:30… hora en que salía el próximo bus…. Como podrán suponer la espera …

Í dag var ræs and sjæne kl. 6:15 og framundan annasamur og skemmtilegur dagur. Byrjuðum á því að koma okkur framúr með herkjum og fengum okkur að borða í 7/11 og keyptum smá nesti fyrir rútuferðir dagsins. Stundvíslega kl. 7 vorum við svo sótt á ferðaskrifstofu rétt hjá hostelinu okkar og þá tók við tæplega 2 tíma akstur á „ …

The trip from Koh Tao to Bangkok was quite an epic one! A few hours waiting around for a ferry, a 3-hour ferry crossing, 6 hours hanging around the train station at Chumphon (should have been 4 but the train was delayed) and then an overnight sleeper train to Bangkok which for some reason involved no sleep, just a lot of fidgeting and listening to …

As we were waiting for our tour operator to pick us up outside the hotel I started to feel a little nauseous. A second later I had to make a mad dash to the lobby toilet where I proceeded to throw up. Since I hadn't drank much alcohol the night before I put it down to my stomach readjusting to Koh San Road food preparation standards which are …
