Went by train which looked initally like a bad plan with the solid wooden bench seats but this proved to be a beautiful way to see the land change from city to countyr , beatuiful green fields with corn, anicals, ponds and farmers on mototbikes (efficient!).</p><p>Kacnahnaburi has over 60000 inhabitatss and seems to me to give of a lovely sleepy feeling, smally windy streets in the town and then what i call THE STRIP with the bars etc.  Hired biks and a v dodgy car - which I realise was completely illegal as I dont have an international licence but I dont think anyone is checking ; - )</p><p>I am sitting here now thining about going to bed - at 8.30pm???   A tad early but was busy today going snorkling so need REST.  Tomorrow is last day here  - will be sad to leave.  Its a calm, funny, quirky place which I feel I have befcome accustomed to - better keep up this travelling before I hurry back to my bubble !</p><p>My favourite bits of Thailand</p><p>1/2 Moon Party - Koh Phangan</p><p>Haas Son Bungaloes and all the staff</p><p>Buddha Bar - Kanchanaburi - for the toilet alone</p><p>The beginning of independence!</p><p /><p /> https://journals.worldnomads.com/alwildgust/story/3530/Thailand/My-Thai-experiences Travel Thailand alwildgust https://journals.worldnomads.com/alwildgust/story/3530/Thailand/My-Thai-experiences#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/alwildgust/story/3530/Thailand/My-Thai-experiences Wed, 28 Feb 2007 00:41:00 GMT 0
