Floating Market and Kanchanaburi with Mr. Sangsri
Blog: Snaps and Flip Flops - 22 July 2011
We met Mr. Sangsri on our way to the Grand Palace (which was, incidentally, closed). We chatted a bit and discovered we can hire him for a day to take us to places outside Bangkok. Mr. Sangsri offered a fairly reasonable price so we decided to go with him.I've always wanted to go to the Floating Market and the Tiger Temple. Despite having visited Thailand several times, I've never been there before.

Blog: Hole In The Donut - 19 March 2011
As our tour bus drew nearer the Tiger Temple, our guide briefed us on the do’s and dont’s of interacting with the big cats. “Any necklaces must be removed.

Blog: Matthew's Travel Blog - My thoughts on everything - 12 February 2010
I won’t waffle on too much in this post, but let the pictures do the talking. Kanchanaburi is around a 3 hour drive west of Bangkok, probably slightly longer by train. It is most famous as being the home of the Bridge over the River Kwai. This was of course made famous by the film of the same name. There are many Allied cemeteries dotted around the town and outside, also some Chinese cemeteries.

It was another early start, but that was not really a problem as we were awake waiting for the ‘wake up call’ having had a real 'wake up call' at Dawn, a Cockrell crowing very loudly!The drive down to the Si Nakharin Dam was very picturesque, going through the Chalom Ratanasin National Park and the Si Nakharin National Park. Both roads were tarred and could be driven by car with no problem.
