Kanchanaburi Lodges - Reviews and Rates

Josey is on mid term break and we are off for a little driving tour. We left Bkk ahead of schedule and were very proud of ourselves for figuring out how to get out of the city and on our way. Granted we got a bit disorientated, but eventually figured it out and got going by ourselves! We were only an hour behind and in Bkk, that is an accomplish...

Yeasterday I went on a tour that went to Kanchanaburi which is about 2 hours North/West of Bangkok. We started off at the Kanchanaburi War Cementary which is where the American, British and Austalian Prisoners of War from World War II are burried. It is quite the powerful place and very well mantained. After we went to the museum of the "Death R...

After a few exhausting days of crash courses on how to teach english to foreigners we went to kanchanaburi which is a few hours NW of Bangkok to chill for the weekend. We visited the floating market on our way and stopped at the bridge over the river kwae. (An interesting sidenote here...I went into the museum and it was ALL Japanese propaganda ...

A small, but from what we experienced, a very happening town called Kanchanaburi. To get there we had to hire a minibus. The minibusses go up to Kanchanaburi regularly - like one ever...

An absolutley amazing railway cut into the mountain looking down into a huge ...

Went to the Tiger Temple today - its a kind of animal sanctuary/ tourist attraction run by some monks, where you get to touch the tigers and have your photo taken with them. Kind of a production line affair but where else to you get to touch a real live tiger? Scary stuff, and hilarious watching the faces of the others as they're lead round - so...

well, we are all settled now. Went to khao san road last night. It really is just a road but loving all the fake stuff! Everyone hassles you but you soon get used to it. As it was our first night, we had an absolute feast! it came to a total of 7 pounds and that was including 8 pints! Went to bed nice and early but still woke up at 3 in the morn...

We caught an overnight train and arrived in Bangkok very early in the morning, so the people out and about were either setting up shop for the day or were on their way home from a big night out. We stayed at Orchard House in the street behind Khao San Road, close enough to the action but a bit quieter than the road itself! Paid a visit to a favo...
