I then travelled by bus to Kanchanaburi where i meet two American girls. We stayed on a floating guest house on the river Mae Nam Khwae, which was very peaceful after Bangkok. One day was spent at the Tiger Temple, where the monks adopt orphaned tigers. This was very disappointing as i only saw one monk and lots of cruel keepers We then travelled on a packed local bus for over two hours to the Hell Pass Memorial museum. This was well worth the journey, the vie...

I arrived in Bangkok to find BA had lost my bag and had run out of claim forms, convenient. So that night i had dinner for one on the roof terrace of my 5 star hotel. The following day (still no bag) i headed to Th Khao San and found a guest house very different from my hotel, hot water is an extra. So my first day was spent shopping for essentials that i had lost and phoning BA. Bangkok is very dirty and busy and so far i really don't like it.
