Hey Guys,
Gonna be a short one to start with i think!
Just to let you all know i got here fine, after eating so so much on the planes here......felt like a new meal was coming round every hour, but i thought embrace, as after all it is a free meal.......and i dont turn them down!
First Day we were extremelly tired from lack of sleep on the plane, but we made the most of the day by firstly checking in to the infamous Kao San Road, which is chaotic to say the least, everyone there is trying to sell u something, from drinks, food, to ping pong shows, to drugs! crazy! anyway found nice hostel a little away from it all, then spent the rest of the day trying to get our vietnam visas, as need to get them in advance. Bangkok is ridiculously busy, rushed, polluted and dirty......although charming in parts! everyone is trying to sell u something, but u just have to remember 1 they are doing it in good spirits and 2 they are only trying to provide for there family....
Day 2 involved taking a boat along the river (managed to get all the way down the river for 14baht - like 25p! After this we went to pick up our visas and then set about getting ourselves to Kanchaburi! after 3hr bus ride for 1.20p we arrived late at night, but managed to find a beatiful little hostel on the river side.....and a bargain at 200baht a night, so 5 quid between us!
Day 3 we headed out to the Erawan falls, decided to take the local bus, which was a brilliant experience, tiny old bus packed full of locals and us 2 westerners! brilliant 1.5hr trip, then came the magic of the falls! We had the best time swimming and walking up the falls, taking beautiful shots and generally admiring the beauty of the place! Fantastic day......now off to have some dinner and toast the new year in......decided to stay in Kanch as its so nice here, be heading back to bangkok tomo - Sparx, as u said changing the plans already! Photos will be uploaded in the next few days......run out of time! hope your all well, and a massive happy new year, all the best for 2009 xxxxx Rich xxxx
