Hello again, Well leaving BK was the best thing because we ended up in Kanchanaburi which is on the river Kwai. It is absolutely beautiful up here, people are really friendly and you feel alot safer and less hastled than you do in BK. We're staying in a guest house right next to the river, they even have floating rooms but they were filled when we arrived. We walked up to the bridge over the river Kwai yesterday and tomorrow we're going to check out Hells Fire Pass where more POW's died when building the railway than anywhere else along it, we'll also go to the war museum and the cemetry. On a more lighter note today we went elephant trecking through the jungly and bamboo rafting on the river as well as enjoying both it was amazing to see how people live out in rural Thailand they have one room huts on sticks and cook on what looked like mud stoves, when you go past all the children run out and shout Bye-bye or Hello. As part of the trip that we were on we also visited a famous 7 step waterfall which I've forgotten the name of, it was absolutely beautiful and at the 2nd and 3rd step we were able to swim at the bottom of the falls, it was crystal clear and there were hundreds of fish which actually nipped at you if you stayed still for long enough. We finished the day with a 2 hour journey on the famous death railway. The scenery was stunning but it seems strange that something with such a horrific story to it could be used in such an everyday kind of way like taking herds of children to and from school. Anyway to round up this western part of Thailand is amazing I only wish I could stay for a lot longer to do all the things I want, well worth a trip back.
