Wed 24th,Matt turned up early hours to share our lovely prison cell with us,Ian not feeling to good so stayed in the room,the rest of us took the metro into China town to have a look around,then did a deal with a tuk tuk driver to take us into the town centre,Matts train was at 11pm so we had a few drinks and something to eat then he left,myself and Jamie had a look around Khoa san road to see some of the sights and have a beer,quite a mad place but good fun,not sure how we manage it but with all the people there we met up with the sleazy boy's,had a few more drinks and the plan was to see the ping pong show but we were all doing things in the morning so went to a club instead,bad move still did'nt get home till 6am but not drunk so all good.
Thurs 25th,We had a trip booked for 7.30am to visit the bridge at river Kwae,I set my alarm for 7am(1 hours sleep)got up Ian still not good so not going,Jamie said ok be there in a mo,went down stairs to grab some food,thumbs up to the driver so he could see me,thought no problem but then the receptionist said he has gone and we have missed the trip,I said your having a laugh I was there at 1/4 past,anyway I have wanted to see the bridge for ages so,looked in on Jamie he was fast asleep,got a taxi to the bus station,found myself a seat and feel asleep,a nice lady woke me up,there are no signs about the bridge so my transport around was a push bike tuk tuk,I visited the Jeath war mueseum first then the war cemetary then a bit of a cycle away to another mueseum by the bridge all very interesting,got some pics of the bridge then decided to catch the train back into Bangkok,2 hours later the train stopped in a small village miles away from the city,a nice taxi driver dropped me off at the boat taxi(free of charge)after the first one would'nt take me because the traffic would be too bad,the boat taxi is great it has loads of stops all along the river and quick and cheap,got off and then got onto the metro,a few stops down and I had made it back,what an acievement after so little sleep,met up with Jamie and had a meal from the street sellers.
