Saying goodbye to Phetchaburi was not hard...not a tourist spot at all....but it has to be pointed out that the hotle owner was the nicest man in the world. On seeing that I was sick he gave me Chinese herbal tea to help my stomach and then took us all in the back of his Navara to the bus to Kanchanaburi. We had a quick stop o...

Making my way to Southern Thailand I paused for 3 days in Kanchanaburi. A small peaceful city nestled between limestone peaks and the infamous River Kwai. On arrival the TTTE (Thailand Tourist Transport Entrepreneurs) lined up to greet us with warm smiles and greasy palms. Alongside them their tuk-tuk, songthaew, motorbike and samlors waited to ...

Woke up bright and early at 6.15am, to be picked up at 7am. We made our way out of the concrete jungle of Bangkok and were soon heading through countryside to Kwai. On the way we stopped at the second world war cemetery and paid our respects to the 6982 allied nation troops that lost their lives in the war. A further five minutes journey and we ...

Ok.... I got some really hot tips on how to improve the quality of the photo's I take so the first 10 photo's may not be all that great for printing unfortunately. I left Bangkok for Kanchanaburi the other morning for a 2 hr. mini van ride. I had no idea were I was going to sleep but after a bit of exploring this sleepy little town, I found a ni...

We took the local bus from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi 2 hour journey for 90p bargain! We booked 2 nights at Sams House but when we got there it was being renovated so they moved us to Sams River Raft House on the River Kwai for the same price 1.80 a night, bonus! It literally is a Raft House constantly swaying on the river, makes you feel sick espe...

(Spanish-English) Desde Bangkok hasta la provincia de Kanchanabauri en tren por unos paisajes de arrozales y palmeras que te dejan sin palabras. Kanchanaburi es una provincia del centro oeste muy turística para los tailandeses donde se encuentran varios parque nacionales y donde pasa el Rio Maw Khon Kwai o que es lo mismo donde se encuantra el p...

Today we were supposed to get a tour to the floating markets and then to Kanchanaburi. We got up to catch the bus at 7:00 am and waited outside the travel agency for an hour. Yeah, no bus. Once the travel agency opened, we got in and got rebooked on a bus to Kanchanaburi. No floating markets, but they gave us some money back, so I guess it was f...

We caught the 9am bus from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi which was scheduled to take 2 hours and for the first time ever on our trip so far, the transport did exactly what it said on the tin! By 12 noon we had checked into our guest house of choice (Apples Guest House) which was lovely. The onsite restaurant had come highly recommended so we dropped o...

Wow, what can we say about this place we have had 3 action packed days doing the most amazing things! We stayed in a guesthouse called the Jollyfrog which was a sleepy and tranquil place on the river a perfect place to relax. Our first day we hired out bicycles, yes i did say bicycles and I discovered that my riding skills aren't what they used ...

We have been in a smashing hotel in Bangkok - have you ever had your credit card returned to you with two hands and a little bow - I was caught on the hop and accepted it with two hands as well and then kicked myself for being so daft. So we tuned it down completely and booked into Nita's Raft house ON the river Kwai. We decided to travel light ...
