The Legacy River Kwai Kanchanaburi

... was a viaduct section of Death Railway next to the cave that overlooks a spectacular view of the surrounding area, with mountainous jungle in every direction and a river below, complete with waterfront stilt shacks. Viewpoint-hunting again!<br>My plan to get there early worked, and I had the whole place pretty much to myself. Even the restaurants weren't open yet! I walked gingerly along the treacherously thin planks laid between the rails of the viaduct and took in ...

... you really know that the group, as a group, must come to an end in some point. I decided to travel together for a reason, don´t know exactly why but I definitely believe that there are things to be done on your own, The many things that amaze me all over the way, the people I meet and the difficulties I face to make myself understood or to find a simple bus to my next destiny are so important, it changes me, I makes me strong in some way, so far I have ...

... So we eventually left and let them have all the fun. <br> The other really fun waterfall was the 2nd layer. It had a waterfall that ou could swim out to and sit underneath and behind the waterfall. It was also the first real time that I was properly able to use my waterproof camera. So I jumped right into the water with it and one of my friends started freaking out yelling at me &#8220;Laura what are you doing!&#8221; It was funny and I assured him that the ...

Just leave that sink in there.......OK so we left the pub (did i mention I won the cards??) and retired as tomorrow...Bangkok.<br><br>Saturday 19/09/09<br>Orla had finally got BOI sorted so was able to go get her tattoo today...however luck was against Temple Girl and couldnt find an ...

... buses stopped underneath a dirty cement expressway. The minute I stepped out of the bus, I was greeted by nearly 20 saengtaw drivers that descended upon me like leaches and they followed me like leaches the entire way through the stn. Some even stepping in front of me and blocking my path to get my attention. No tourist booth in sight and I was highly unimpressed with a saengtaw driver that was trying to convince me that Kanchanaburi was a ...

... of us had a multicultural dinner and night market browsing yesterday. Today I have plans to read and research Europe, where I'll be in just over 2 weeks. It's hard to believe it's coming up so quickly. Since I'm not really doing anything today or tomorrow, I may not write again until I make it to Ko Tao on Tuesday or Wednesday, when I'll share beautiful beach pictures that will make you almost as jealous as the baby tigers did. Take care, everyone!

... just casually stroking them as if they were a small house cat and a woman taking pictures of me on my camera. They are chained to a fixed point and you are led by hand from tiger to tiger. They seemed pretty docile and rumours have it that they are drugged, but the monks deny it. Felt pretty bad to be essentially treating these tigers as if they were in a zoo but incredible experience to be as close as I could to huge tigers, without a part of my body being in its ...

... train station we had to walk about 1km to the Muang Sing ruins. At the train station, we attracted the attention of a redish-brown dog, we took very well to Tom and decided he would follow us and guide us, all the way to Muang Sing ruins!! It was pretty awesome. By far the kindest and best dog we've met so far. He even toured around the ruins with us!! as you may see in my photos. There were several shots I wanted with nothing in ...

... opposite about 3/4 of the way up. If it was clearer and I had bought that 50 lens I wouldv'e been laughing! I could honestly seeing myself doing this job - testing out places for the unknowing traveller and making notes/taking photos...perfect job I know but how cool would that be!<br><br>Got last bus back to Kanchanaburi at 4pm which was rammed and the seats are definately not made for anyone over 5' 8"! Both mine and Pete's legs were crushed; knees flattened and thighs in pain by the ...

... the tigers. (He later informed me that he touched all of them except the one that was laying belly up and the nearest thing he could have pet was his testicles). I on the other hand did as much petting as possible with each tiger, but missed the opportunity to pet the baby tiger because he was a bit too playful. When it was all done, we got to choose some special souvenirs from a treasure box to remember our experience and thank us for the special donation. We ...
