Kanchanaburi and the River Kwae
... not understand they adorn certain trees in certain places with all sorts of gifts and pray to them. In this case the trees we passed had an array of gifts including, but not limited to, a brand new Sari still in the plastic, two mannequin style displays with dresses, a cowboy hat, lots of silk scarves, candy, bags of Lay’s potato chips (basil flavored), and the usual flowers (no imagination on that one). I love the idea that ...
Another day in paradise
... Bridge, waar we ook naartoe gingen. Tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog werden oorlogsgevangen door de Japanners gedwongen om, midden in de jungle, de Birmaspoorlijn aan te leggen. Hier zijn vele gevangen gestorven door ondervoeding, het harde werk, tropische ziekten en mishandeling door het Japanse leger.

The market was awesome, that is if you disregard some of the putrid selection of 'delicacies' we were given to taste. I mean when would sweet sticky rice with a crisp sugary topping laced with dried shrimp be a good idea for breakfast! Even the thoughts of it makes me gag a bit. It wasn't all bad though, here we ...
Kachanaburi Trips
... I had a power nap whilst Cerys read her book.
After collecting our washing we hit town at around 8. We'd had confirmation from the travel agent that we wouldn't be able to travel to Chaing Mai via night train as there were no seats available. Considering this we have decided to catch the bus to Koh Samui in the south (should be 750Baht each but is 1150baht/£25 each due to a full moon party In Koh Phangan on the 4th). The reason for this being that flights are currently ...
