99/9 Moo 3 Kanchanaburi, Thailand, 71000, 66-0-34-653369-
... NZ Herald Canvas magazine: http://thebranchfoundation.or g/news/branch-news/<br><br>The response literally made me have to sit down a few times....especially the ones from the refugee community in NZ, and people from small towns offering their support. There are a number of exiting developments....but I am keeping a hat on them for now ;)<br>for latest photos of my adventures: <br> http://picasaweb.googl e.com/ionaproebst/KualaLumpurMalaysiaTh aiLanguageTrainingHome?feat=directlink
Sangklaburi, Kanchanaburi, Thailand oniburger... it's spicy it's even less appealing. <br><br> The best part of orientation was without a doubt the trip to Kanchanaburi. 3 hours outside the city of Bangkok was a countryside paradise. We arrived after dinnertime and headed straight to the pool. Until they kicked us out at midnight. The next morning we went straight to the elephant camp, which I must warn you, I was awaiting this day since before I left home. To ride<br>an elephant is so discomforting ...
Kanchanaburi, Kanchanaburi, Thailand paisleyplaid... reached Kanchanabuir about 2 hours later and went to the JEATH Museum ( Japan, England Australia NZ and Neatherlands and Holland) by the River and got my first glimpse of the Kwai Bridge Where were the ones from the Indian sub continent?.<br> <br>Then it was onto the one of the war cemateries ( there are a few here). A peacefu place with well tended lawns. Many of the graves were of men in their ...
Kanchanaburi, Thailand nas.latif... our time walking back down and got some great photos while visiting the other six. <br><br>Then it was back to Bk for a couple of days, and today i got the Train outa their.<br><br>So today I'm in Ayutthaya and tomorrow I’m going to hire a bike a visit the ruins and then a 9pm I’m getting the night sleeper to Chiang Mai.
Kanchanaburi, Thailand jimpad... both very emotional...it is so serene in stark contrast to what it must have been like....you stand where so many people died......not from bombs or gunfire......but malnutrition......dysentry......and from horrific torture.......these were Aussies...young Aussies....and soldiers.....POWS......and recruited Asian labour..........the ashes of a very special Aussie are scattered at this sight ....Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop ...
Kanchanaburi, Kanchanaburi, Thailand macro1234... huge (Chedis are also known as Stupas), but it was covered in scaffolding which took away from the aesthetic pleasure of looking at it. The temple itself is quite nice to visit. There are a number of statues and shrines located throughout the grounds. At the end of the day we took a minibus back to Bangkok. I was exhausted (from waking up early, not from vigerous flower smelling) so it was a shower and bed for me when i got home :)
Nakhon Pathom, Thailand tranquillize... Ratchadamnoen Avenue, and I was almost quick enough to snap a decently-framed photo of it...*arrgh* It was built to commemorate the 1932 coup that marked the transition from absolute monarchy to constitutional, parliamentary rule in Thailand, and that actual, original constitution is housed in the pedestal in the middle. I'm not so sure coups are the best way to effect government transitions, but if the result is more liberty, so ...
Damnoen Saduak, Thailand bahtman... on Phuen. After asking several people we got easily to our place of interest - the "train" market, as I call it. It is basically a food market placed along the rail tracks. Several times a day a train passes through. We were curious so waited for the train. However it did not show up at the time locals had told us so we went to get accommodated in Ampawa and then came back to Samut Songkhram. Train did not show up neither ...
Samut Songkhram, Thailand tsimko... one water tap - with tepid water. It is really not necessary to heat up the water over here. We had a traditional Thai dinner with many dishes on the table with a dessert at the end. Thai people always welcome foreigners at their homes so their children can practise their english. This was also the case. Thais realise the importance of english knowledge as the way to communicate with abroad people, despite the fact, that it is very ...
Chom Bung, Thailand tsimko... He recommended this one and said that LP has the price wrong so we went with him and found ourselves in a beautifully atmospheric hotel with AC for only $10 a night! What a deal! <br><br>Behind the hotel was a lemon orchard. It's interesting how they grow fruits and vegetables here. The lemon trees here were ...
