Kanchanaburi ... after Luang Prabang where i felt most at home ...

---

The change of trainstations in Bangkok was rough ... 45C and thus hid out in the 7/11 airconditioned supermarket ... the 2.5 hr ride took about 4 and obviously was sitting at the wrong side of the train ... best to watch the pictures again ...

m not sure why this bothers mi ...
they're just kids, however it just doesn't look right ...

with 45C and having to wait a few hours ...
i decided to do something i had never done ... hide in a little airconditioned supermarket ...

and then waiting another 45 minutes on
the train platform in 45 C

the train ...
no doors, no windows ... and very VERY loud ...

i like taking trains ...
there;'s something real adventurous about them ...

although they had fans ...
it was unbearable in the sun, thus took an example of others and took the seat down and tried to stay in the shade ...

most felow passengers fell asleep
as the train rock you to sleep

the Sugar Cane guesthouse
on the River Kwai, in the 'hot'zone of Kanchanburi ... on the right the restaurant where i spoiled myself with a scrumptious continental breakfast the next morning ...

the river Kwai
where i had many adventures ... and found a new home ...

my little guest house
oh right got a tattoo to show for ...

and this is just one bar ...
kanchanaburi tourist area consists out of bars, bars and more bars ... one playing even louder music than others ... lowlives from every part of the world hover around from early morning to late at night all getting drunk ...

i as usual was up early
and bonded the dog of the only place open early in the morning ...and thankfully i was able to order my mango shake which had become a habit the last 3 weeks of the food to start the day with ...

dumb mi ... forgot his name again ...
however luv his face ... the eyes of poo in a small dog
