Sawadee We had a well earned lie in this morning then concocted a plan to just take it easy. First job of the day was bartering with the taxi driver for a ride down to the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. It took a bit of determination but we got 150THB knocked off. One thing that is crazy in Bangkok is the traffic, you cannot get anywhere quick unless on the river and the cab ride took 40 minutes to go about 2 miles!!!! After lunch we spent time on the Chao Praya Riv...

Sawadee Well what a jammed pack blog we have for you today, after rising at 6am on a Sunday we were whizzing through the streets of Bangkok and then out on the highway to Kanchanaburi and the war cemetery to commemorate the soldiers that lost their lives building the Death Railway to Burma, there are over 3,000 graves in this one cemetery.

Sawadee Had a bit of a night market frenzy last night and visited 3 in total but managed not to buy anything which amazed us. Ended up at the seafood restaurant for dinner and it was amazing again. I think we are just going to eat there for the rest of our stay in Hua Hin!!!! After spending 45 minutes this morning in the Post Office we eventually got our things posted home, then it was time to visit the grumpy lady at the Bus Terminal that we encountered yester...
