On the second day of the tour we got up pretty early had breakfast then headed off on the coach to Kanachanburi! The hotel we stayed in was pretty basic room wise - you could actually go the toilet and have a shower at the same time - but the views were superb as the hotel was right on the river kwai (Hopefully ill be able to get some pictures up if this shocking computer decides to work!!!
Our first stop of the day was to the cambodian ruins which was pretty cool, plus it saves me a trip to Cambodia :) After that we headed out to some caves - i dont have a clue what they were called but if it was the one where a tourist, i think she was British was rapped and killed by a monk (nice)!! It was pretty good in there an we got to see some Monks doing some religious ceremony1 After we headed towards the bridge over the river kwai (yes Mike like medal of honour) and we stayed there for a bit and wait for the last train to come past!
On the night we headed to an outside market for dinner! I had something that was supposed to be spicy so Simon asked me whether i wanted it tourist spicy or local spicy! I though i'd start slowly and go for tourist spicy! So they bring this rice dish out and i can see a load of green and red things in it but thought nothing of it and started to throw it down my neck -BIG MISTAKE!!! It turned out that they'd mixed mine up with someone else's and the dish absolutely blew my head off!!! How they eat stuff that spicy i'll never know, managed to finish it though!
After dinner we headed on to a local street which had all the bars etc on! A few of us decided to go to one of the massage palours on the side to get a half hour foot massage! I was a bit cautious at first as the thought of someone playing with my feet didn't really sound to great but it was absolutely amazing , really relaxing an only cost 2 quid! While on a high from the massage we walked down the road an went to play pool an have a few drinks, an while we were walking down the road we got our first glimpse of the lady bars! There were hundreds of them with loads of different girls outside trying to get any any bloke in who happened to be walking past! Despite the temptation we managed to resist an headed to the pub! At the end of the night the girls left us as we were taking so long to finish our game of pool so we thought'd we'd get a taxi and race them back to the hotel! I say taxi, it was a motorbike with a sort of side carridge big enough to get about three people in! So we jump in an half way down the road we see the girls so we tell them to jump in, so now theres 7 of us in this tiny sidecar flying to the hotel, it was hillarious i'll get the pictures up soon if this thing decides to work!!! Going down a hill to get to the hotel we head to all lean back just so the thing wouldn't topple over!
Anyway that was it for that day, ill update you on the rest later as im being dragged for an oil massage - its a hard life!! Thanks for all the messages by the way an ill update you all soon, probably in when im in Bangkok where theyve got computers that actually work!! Speek to you all soon!
