On to Kanchanaburi and Nam Tok - 19-2-2007

We wasted little time leaving Bangkok for the countryside. Bangkok is grand but it's easy get sick of it. The way we figure in any case is that we'll be using Bangkok as a jumping off point for other locations so we'll be back here again.

A driver picked us up at 7a.m. in a minibus ultimately headed for Nam Tok. We made several stops along the way including Damnoen Saduak floating market, war cemetary at Kanchanaburi, bridge over the river Kwai and finally stopping at our river hut accommodation just out side Nam Tok.

The river huts were amazing. Getting up at 5a.m. to the sound of the jungle and the river and watch the sunrise - fairly impressive.

For the record, I think it's important the note that I had a King Cobra around my neck today and I touched a python at the cobra show. :-)
