Kanchanaburi Travel Blogs - Page 6

In making my way to Kanchanburi from Petchaburi, I had to change buses at Nakhon Pathom. It is here that the words tallest Buddhist monument stands... Prah Pathom Chedi. The site is the oldest Buddhist site in Thailand, it was constructed during the Dvaravati period, and later added by the Angkor p…

saw the bridge over the river kwai....concrete and modern, not wooden over a big valley like I expected and really touristy. I refused to see the elephant show and they were all chained up.   got the overnight train to krabi where we spent four days sleeping in beach bungalows wit…

Welcome to the english version of my travelblog. The dutchversion can be found at www.wereldreizer.nl Have fun!

I think my time's going to run out any second now, so I'll just get this entry in so you know I'm still alive.

When this trip starts, there is something called...a plan. Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Thailand, Malaisia, India and Nepal again. I wonder what really happens and where I'll end up.

just one word ... paradise

  Our first and last whole day in Bangkok. We had booked a tour for River Kwai and Death Railway and then slightly after midnight was our forwarding flight for Manila/Davao. So the day was definately booked up. But this day was also one that I had looked intensely forward to. Visiting the hi…

A year spent exploring South East Asia, Australasia and my favouriter continent of South America

Om half 8 uitgecheckt. Mos kwam een half uurtje later omdat hij problemen had met zijn accu. Het was ongeveer 2 uur rijden naar het plaatsje Damnoen Saduak, waar de floating market is. Onderweg even gestopt bij een traditioneel Thais houten huis op palen. Wat een andere wereld zeg, zodra je Bangko…

Kanchanaburi is full of cows. They wander everywhere, onto the two-lane highway, in the fields and in the valleys between rocky cliffs. The cliffs rise steeply out of the jungle they’re a spectacular sight. In recent years the Thai government built infrastructure. Before Kanchanaburi was just a j…

We vertrekken weer vroeg, vooral omdat we naar de drijvende markt van Damnoen Saduak gaan (Floating Market), en deze is alleen ’s morgens vroeg te zien. Voordat we hier heen gingen, hebben we zelf nog met de boot door kanaaltjes gevaren, waarna we uiteindelijk bij het centrum van de drijvende mar…

Bangkok...Kanchanaburi...Erawan Waterfalls....Tiger Temple.... Railway bridge...
