Total Recall

This is an informal journal and collections of our stories and photos we have accumilated on our travels. The people we meet and the places we see inspire us to travel further, for longer, so maybe we will meet again.

Thailand - Kanchanaburi






So we got a 16hour bus journey from Vang Vieng, to Bangkok. We had a 2 hour stop in Vientiene, Laos' capital. Seemed like a regular city, didn't see anything apart from the inside of a french cafe' s toilet. So nothing to report, except it was very clean and comfortable.
We arrived in Bangkok at some ridiculous hour, 4am or something, so decided not to wait around for buses and hopped in a cab to Kanchanaburi. Or better known, The Bridge Over The River Kwai.
It took an hour or so, but by the time we got there, the sun was already out and hot, we were very glad for that.
After a little discussion with some passer by we ended up staying at a place called Bamboo Bungalows. Very nice, well manacured gardens, right next to the River Kwai, with floating bungalows actually on the river. We stayed firmly on land as we needed our own bathroom and the floating rooms did not cater for us. Was basic but comfortable, and we slept for the day.
We wanted to be ready for our day following. The Tiger Temple.
