I left the dizzying madness of Bangkok behind via (surprise, surprise) a public bus - $110b - bound for Western Thailand near the Burmese border.

Nice stuff.
G'day Travis nice story and photos. Can I ask exactly where the tree house accommodation is or the name of it please - what did it comprise? I was in Kanchanaburi last December and spent 5 days there, I loved it and I plan on going back later in the year. I did not get to Hellfire and definitely want to do this. Travel safe and enjoy your journey. I am a bit behind on my blog and am in the process of trying to get it up to date within the next couple of weeks.
