Today travelled to Sangkhlaburi. On the way visited the Hell Fire Pass - a railway built in World War 2, mainly by POWs. The railway was 415km from Thailand to Burma, and took 15 months to construct. It's nicknamed the Death Railway as famed for the number of people that died during construction. Arrived in Sangkhlaburi this afternoon. Oh no...where have I been taken too!! There are lizards and cockroaches in the hotel room, the town is a deserted, apart from ...

The second temple had a cable car to take you to the top (much better!!). The third temple I learnt how to meditate. Practiced walking and sitting meditation.

In the afternoon took a boat trip to the Jeath War Museum, Chungkai War Cemetry, and walked across the bridge over the river Kwai. It was quite emotional learning about POW. In the evenin...

Visited Erawan waterfalls in Erawan Narional Park today. There are seven tiers of waterfalls, each with fresh water pools which you can swim in. Although there are a lot of fish that nibble your feet and knees! I swam in tiers seven and four - tier four had a rock slide to go into the waterfall - such fun!!
