Sri Muang Kanchanaburi

... type fish in a putrid tomato sauce (terrible) and a dry combination of yet more rock solid anchovy type fish with even harder nuts. I ate the chicken and regrettably took one small bite of the anchovy/tomato thing. Unfortunately the rice had been infiltrated by putrid tomato sauce rendering it unedible. I swiftly left with my tail between my legs still feeling hungry.<br>The saying goes 'eat where the locals eat'. Unfortunately the locals had packed out McDonald's, so I ate there ...

... scrummy Thai food :o) Decided to have an earlier night as we were pooped from the bus journey, so made our way "home"...got to the room and I pushed poor Matty in first to scope it out - the little brown creepy crawlers were still there, clicking away so we changed rooms!! Fortunately for the owner, they only had the more expensive rooms left (uh-huh), but we didn't mind too much as the new room is literally on the ...

Time is flying by, we are now at the river kwai where he famous bridge is, since the last blogg we have been staying with a hilltribe and riding elephants. the internet connection is verey slow and i can't upload pictures. ang has a bit of a dodgy stomache but we are carrying on there is so much to do and we move on all the time. i have changed our plan for the next stage we are now going to Ko Chang near the ...

... no problem just pulling out in front of you. The most dangerous though are the stray dogs, they just wander down the roads and run out at you as you ride by. With no plans I decided to see where I could find, it was mainly small temples and monestries, but I did come across the Chung Kai Allied War Cemetery which contains the graves of 1,740 Australian, New Zealand, British, French and Dutch Prisoners of War in neat, well-kept grounds. Each grave has a headstone ...

... ones designed for saving precious minutes in the morning, allowing us an extra bite of toast or a slurp of too hot coffee. It's truly a work of art, a shower and a toilet sharing the same cubic foot of floor space, providing you with the opportunity of "multi-tasking".<br><br>The following morning we took the bus to Erawan National Park to visit the 7 tiered Erawan Waterfall. A beautiful but very popular hike takes you from the 1st to the ...

... her to suddenly levitate above the water. I turned to Sarah and said out of the side of my mouth: "When does she start to float?" But then she got out. The show was over... that was all. Sarah was at once jubilant and outraged. She said: "Well, it fulfilled my expectations." I had just wasted 500 baht on watching an old woman basically tread water.... what an idiot! <br>. <br>

... mere feet away from all of this, and I was much more worried about getting trampled by the water buffalo than I was at any point of being bit by a tiger. There were male peacocks strutting around-- sometimes with their feathers all up, but I when they saw my camera, they packed those feathers away (ok not really, but I wasn't ever able to get a photo). I also made an executive decision today to ...

... the whole day showing off on his bike"! We only had 2 nights in Sukothai and the next day we headed to Chang Mai, which is where i am now, we've not really done much yet, we checked out the night market last night and we've just booked up to go on a mountain biking and whitewater rafting trip tomorrow. We're gonna be hear for about a week i'd think because its the thai new year on monday or the thai water festival as its more commonly known.

... River Kwai, Chris even braved it and went for a swin of the floating deck. Laura didn't chance going in as Chris said that he could feel lots of river plants grabbing him round the ankles! We have both really enjoyed our time in Kanchanaburi, can't believe how cheap it is here compared to other tourist hotspots in Thailand. We both also feel like we are feeling coming to the end of our trip now, Bangkok next and then home :-(

... it had to offer. First up was the famous bridge, which was built during the Second World War by Prisoners of War, and then bombed. It is still standing, although not all of it is original, and you can take a pretty thrill-less train ride over it and back again... which we did! It all made for a good start to the day though!! Unfortunately as we were going over the bridge I saw a begging elephant chained up under the ...
