A 2km walk to the bus station 2 hour bus journey into Bangkok a stressful 10 minutes trying to work out where to get the 511 bus from the Southern Terminal to the Eastern Terminal someone took pity on us and helped us .

It isn't just doom and gloom in the Kanchanaburi area but let's start with the Hellfire Pass anyway.We visited the infamous section of the death railway at the Konyu Cutting. There is an official Australian historical memorial site and museum here and they provide an excellent but heartbreaking audio tour which greatly enhances the walking trails. It's full of soundbites from surviving POW's and

So I know it's been AGES since my last post and I apologise for that... Nothing really happened you see and I don't want to waste your time on filling an entry with variations of nothing. I guess in the grand scheme of the universe stuff did happen. Let's see... I was in 1770 when I last posted. Three girls who I befriended back in Noosa on the canoe trip turned up a few days in which was ni
