Chilling in Kanchanaburi

We’ve been in K’buri for a few days lazing on a river raft and watching the River Kwai flow by. We’ve got a local Monitor Lizard that swims by on a daily basis in the later after noon. Reckon he’s about 1-2 meters long from head to tail. Can’t get any decent pics as he’s pretty canny.

VN Guesthouse is great at 300baht a night , about 6 pounds. Nice bar for lounging in with great bacon and interesting walls between some rooms that don’t leave much to the imagination when an excitable Thai lady mves in next door….know what I mean!!

Had an annual viewing of an outdoor cinema showing a really crazy film. Sound was so loud. Cinema up one day gone the next!

The serious side of K’buri is the Burma railway. Went to the museum and then to Hell Fire Pass. Conditions must have been terrible and it really makes you think how dreadfully wasteful war is.

On our trip up to H F Pass we got to go on The Oriental and Eastern Express, well for about 10 seconds on our way through to the platform behind to catch our 3rd class train on the other side. Still, we’ve been on it and you haven’t!!!
