U-Thong Inn Hotel Kanchanaburi

... of his big toe, it's nasty. On the way home I scaled a scaffolding and swung around like a monkey! Idiot!

Today we failed to make the waterfalls again so we've decided not to booze tonight and get up early to go. Time will tell if this happens.

... so green and brought out all sorts of maternal feelings in me that I wasn’t aware that I had…I wanted to wrap him in cotton wool.

My impressions of my first Muslim country I have ever been to …well the lil bit of a huge city like KL that I saw! It’s a confused place….it has a Sky tower, like Auckland, it has twin towers, a golden triangle, China town, little India and a CBD that gave me culture shock, and even featured a 'biggest ever ...

... apart.. only fifty years ago.

We took a train from Thakilen to Ko Maha Mongkhon. It was great. We luckily scored some seats in the rickety third class cab we were in. It shakes enough to make you a little nervous. There's no glass in the windows, it's just open. We passed through fields of I'm not sure what, just looking out over the tall grass and we passed a wat. There was a break in the trees and over this cliff we were on was the river. You could look up and ...

... When we arrived at the resort we checked into our amazing room which was right on the river. This was so beautiful. I don’t know if it compares to the mighty Waccamaw River in Conway, but it sure does come close (that was a joke. This river is 100000 times better). In the evening all of the students played a bunch of icebreaker games, and then were assigned teams for the Ninja games on Saturday. Each chaperone was to be in charge of 12 students as their team, and think of a team ...

... t afford to do Hell Fire Pass museum. Maybe.
We watched the opening day of the premiership season with Chelsea scraping past Hull and Tommy's club Villa getting outclassed at home by Wigan! Had to retire prior to the Everton - Arsenal game, much to our regret the next day when we found out the 1-6 result!
Back to Bangkok the next day in preparation for our necessary border-run to Cambodia!

... roadside restaurant and had a delicious lunch...My preferences were known but I just let his wife order whatever she wanted. It seemed to not be any problem for them to make some veggie dishes (in comparison to the 'inconvenience' you cause some Japanese restaurants) and everything was mouth-wateringly delicious. It's been the case that I have been overeating because everything is so good and there's just so much of it. Normally I lose weight when on vacation but ...

... Sarah's elephant kept on poo-ing in the water, but because the poos were so big they made a booming noise and quite a lot of splash, which was unpleasant for me riding behind....

The next day, I insisted that we visit a special temple where we had read that there was an old nun who had a special ability to float on top of the water through only the power of prayer ...

... disappointed because it had no slide - but there was another pool further back into the trees - the Slider Pool. After the millionth slide - we called it a night at the pool. Dinner at the hotel was nice although a little pricey. Our driver was sleeping with Mick in his hotel room so he was sorted too. Watched the last 20 minutes of Manchester United - at least one of my footy clubs is doing well. Bloody Collingwood are crapola at the moment by all accounts. The Kanchanaburi Kid: Mace.

hey, so after another night of getting drunk with thai people with machine guns and eating whole chickens feet (dont ask) i left ayuthaya and headed to kanchanaburi to meet banj and tiley, in typical fashion they were a day late after tiley got lost in Bangkok on his way home from a night out and they had to stay and extra day because of it. I think that the even got on the wrong bus when they were leaving the bus station! In the meantime ...

... Burma Railway Museum. Both really enjoyed it, lots of information about the Prisoners of War and the Death Railway, very sad but informative, had tea looking out over the war cemetary. Back to our accomodation for sandwiches on brown bread, a real treat! Then we walked up to the river Kwai bridge in the afternoon, really hot and sweating by the time we got there. There were lots of tourists but we walked over the other ...
