Kanchanaburi Resorts - Reviews and Rates

We got up very early and made ourselves bacon and eggs for breakfast, as we have a kitchen for the first time since Mongolia. The we started our tour to Kanchanaburi by taking the bus for 2 hours. We arrived at the cemetery for the British, Australian and Dutch men who died during the construction of the bridge. It was a well-kept cemetery, with...

So I left Bangkok bright and early to make the 7:45 train. And when I arrived at the pier that crosses the river to the train station, I realised I forgot my passport in the locker at the guesthouse, so I had to hurry back. Then, because I was in slight panic mode, I was probably slightly overcharged for the taxi back to the railway station. Les...

Today at breakfast all I wanted was a cup of tea. Do you think I could find milk. All they had was carnation milk. After asking for it and the reply being, "we don't serve milk", they looked confused when I said there was milk yesterday. After 10 minutes they bring out a big pot of hot milk! Only in South East Asia hey? I had booked a day trip w...

We took an overnight train from Suratthani (the city from which the ferry comes in from Ko Phangan) to Kanchanaburi. When we got on the train, Amy's bed was already made up and empty, but mine had an old Thai women sleeping in it! I contemplated waking her up, but across the isle (on Thai trains, second class sleepers are basically just two rows...

So I am back in Bangkok after a short trip out into the western countryside to visit Kanchanaburi! I will attach the photos to the right entry this time! I had difficulty getting to Thonburi, the train station on the edge of the city that goes to Kanchanaburi as most cab drivers don't want to go out that far. Eventually I managed to get one, onl...

shane: we went to see the tigers! 2.5 hour bus ride away, we were dropped at this little place in the River Kwai. We were then told to proceed onto a square bamboo raft. I wasnt too impressed about this as we had our passports and ipods etc in the backpack, but was told I didnt really have an option as we were rafting our way to the next place o...

So I write out of order (if you read this right away... If you don't I may have caught up with myself. So there you go - incentive to delay reading about my wonderful adventures. Don't even try, we both know you couldn't last!). I'm in Kanchanaburi. " But how did you end up there?" I hear the cries from the gathering masses. Erm good question. B...

Just a quick note to say that I am now in Kanchanaburi, which is infinitely better than Bangkok..... More to follow! Peace out...x

Hi All I think we can safely say that we have never been so pleased to leave a place in our whole lives. By night Bangkok was pretty good (but that might have something to do with the beers we consumed), but by day it was another matter. We had hoped to go to see the Emerald buddha and the Grand Palace but we were firstly told to go back later a...

Crawled out of bed at 7:30 and promptly checked out. Decided I needed food and couldn't be ***** to look around so settled on the restaurant in my hotel. The service was disgracefully slow and it took them 25 minutes to make 2 slices of toast. The intricately cut fruit salad however was in front of me within seconds. As they took so long I had t...
