This morning we needed to travel from one side of Bangkok to the other. That would have been easy but unfortunately the area we need to pass through, is where the protests are!
So, to avoid the masses we go around. First we take a 45 minute boat ride, standing like sardines, where overloaded would be a understatement. Then we jumped on a sky train which travels above the city. Then we took yet another boat along the main river .... and finally, walked to the train! We got our tickets, then went off in search of lunch. We ate some 'hot' Thai noodles and finished off with a special treat of deep fried bananas.
The train journey took 3 hours through lush countryside, eventually arriving in Kanchanaburi. We found a cheap room, immaculately clean. The highlight of the hotel being .... a swimming pool! We checked in, then took a dip in the refreshingly cool pool! What a treat!
