We were driven to Kanchanaburi last night by couchsurfer Ann we met in Bangkok. Booked into a lovely place where we geta private room, ensuit for 400baht (5'er!) then went out on the lash.

Found a wee street stall selling rum n cokes (with free ice) for 10baht, that's 20p.  That is insane. We drank many of them and had great banter with the women owning the stall who was also partaking and a few other farang including a dutch bloke who spends most of the year in thailand and an english and welsh bloke, all buying each other drink and having a laugh. Got some wicked photos and had a ball. They took the piss about Scottish blokes being tight and only buying a round because it was 10 baht a drink. 

Then we moved over to another bar (Sugars Place - nice owner!) which should have been closed because its after 12 but they stayed open and they had free pool and sisha bongs. So we drank Singha, smoked sish and played pool all night until we couldn't stand.

Today we should be going to see the death railway, erawan waterfalls and war museums but Grame and Ann won't get out of bed despite my constant knocking!  I'll go try again!
