So we have made it back to Bangkok, we had a really hectic last couple of days so are having a chilled out day before we head to chiang mai on the night train tonight.

We did make it to the waterfalls, we think were getting the hang of the crazy public transport system, basically motorbikes, tuktuks and taxis connecting all the different places. The waterfalls were beautiful, had a lovely walk up them, there were a lot of people swimming in them though, probably wearing deet and all sorts of chemicals which made me concerned for the environmental impact. It must be damaging the ecosystems there (im such a future ecologist).

We had a very long journey back to bangkok, because fo waiting times for buses cos we think one broke down so we had to wait for next one. We were very glad or our shower at the guesthouse when we got back!

We are really excited about heading up to Chiang Mai, it should be a really good week up there. were meeting esthers dad at the train station tonight since hes now in thailand so we should get a free meal which is good. The meals in kanchanaburi were like 40baht it was awesome (less than a pound).

Ill update when we get to chiang mai
