After visiting ayuthaya, i took a bus to kanchanaburi. Well, actually two busses, qoz there was a transfer in suphanburi. On arrival i was alittle bit dissapointed, i have to say. I was expecting this small rivertown, but no way, not in thailand.
It was a nice spot, don't get me wrong, but i don't see what all the fuss is about you know.
Me personally, i think it's just a bridge. Yeah, i made my obligatory photo, but apart from that stayed as far away from the bridge as possible. The number of tourists there was absolutely incredible! Anyway, what else did i do. Rented a bike, went to some cave in wich they had made a temple. (Yawn). Next to the railroad track i saw a sign that read 'monkeyschool', ok, so checked it out.
Turned out to be a place where they do shows with lots of macaque monkey's.
Ofcourse i was not interested in seeing this, but got to feed some fruit to them, and the slow loris and whitehand gibbons were so much fun to watch.
Basically took it real easy in K'buri, spend the mornings reading the bangkok post over coffee, always good. And food was cheap at the guesthouse, so.....
Not much to tell, i'm sorry, maybe my next stop in prachuap khiri khan will be a bit more interesting. If i get there though, 2 days ago two trains collided head on, 3 dead and 92 wounded. The newspaper says, one of the drivers might have fallen asleep.....
Hmmm, still taking 3rd class though, wouldn't wanna miss it.
Thumbs up!
