Stuck in bangkok
not as bad as I thought this bangkok malarky but it does seem that they make it terribly hard to leave what with fully booked trains and buses....never mind off tommorow to Chang Mai 13 hours on a friggin bus boo hoo never mind hopefully get to hear all the tortoise albums on the way - the saviour of train journeys.
Ps the rest of Kanchanaburi was reasonably well spent what with us going up to an amazing 7 tiered waterfall in erthan national park...
Then we went to a place called hellfire pass where POW's were forced to excavate a path in the rock using mostly hand tools. Pretty haunting images of the amount of POW's that died in its construction, especially meaningful when you walk around it yourself in that heat its shocking to think of. We then surreally rode the 'death' railway back into town. Very informative but deeply moving place.
