Thailand, the land of the Smile. Land of the great food. Land of beautifull scenery. Land of shopping.

It got off to a bad start and I should have read the omens. The minibus to Kanchanaburi had broken air vents and it's windows were stuck shut, making for an uncormfortable two and a half hours.When I arrived at around midday, I was told that the bus to 'The Tiger Temple' would be leaving at 2.30pm.…

A collection of pictures and stories from Thailand

Sawasdee Ka folks! A serious amount of travel later, here I am in the lovely Kanchanaburi. I got the overnight train to Ayutthaya, where I arrived at about 6am. I waited until a more decent hour and then made my way to the tourist office. They were just opening up when I arrived and the cleaning …

On a whim, I followed the boys in their plans to head north. Karl, John and I threw a couple days' worth of clothes into a bag and disappeared into the black hole that is Kanchanaburi. We planned for two days. Seven passed before we finally left the small Thai town. It's not that there's a lot to d…

Visiting the Bridge over River Kwai & the Kanchanaburi War Cemetary & Museum & The Floating Markets @ Damnoen Saduak

Singapore, Thailand

Having the best time ever on our world trip 2008 with my best friend!!

This famous bridge is about 4km (3miles) north from downtown Kanchanaburi, crossing the Kwai Yai river. It was brought from Java by the Japanese Army and was assembled at the River Kwai by the prisoners. Bombed several times in 1945, it was rebuilt after the war. The curved spans of the bridge are …
