2 day Bangkok stopover
Flight from Sydney arrived at about 11:00pm and took a taxi to the hotel. Once we got the cooling working, had a good sleep but we were up early Monday hoping to book a tour to the River Kwai but couldn't get on today.

We ended up having to walk a further 30 minutes past the hostel in addition to the 2 hours we had ...

Today was the most active since we have been in Bangkok. Started early ...
