The day started with a prompt wake up at 8:00am to rush and get ready for our pick up 30 mins later. Me and Dan both sat in the front of the mini van as it was all full in the back. I didn't mind this really as i got to have a chat with our driver about lots of food and all the kind of exotic fruits available this side of the world. He mentioned he ate dog and that it tastes delicious! I'm not really about that life though! The journey was around one and a half h...

We arrived at kanchanaburi on January 22nd, after around a three hour journey on a mini bus. Sharing the journey with us were a french couple, a young woman and two thai mothers with their adorable little daughter ( i have a soft spot for babies, especially cute, round raced oriental ones!). We had not yet seen or knew much about the guest house that we had booked as a lovely woman named Fin had arranged it all for us in a tourist information spot in Bangkok. I m...
