Kanchanaburi - Bridge over the River Kwai

OMYGOD the place I'm staying at is wonderful!!
Its for 150 baht as previously mentioned and Im staying at the Jolly Frog Hotel in a double room floating bungalow on the river Kwai!!
Thank You Michael for the great recommendation.

Anyone (at home) who knows me well will know that I love the water and a home on the water is my idea of bliss. There's a huge lawn and you can also swim in the river. I got here just 5 mins ago and I'm so happy I just had to tell someone hehe! Jumpy where are you!! You would have loved this place I even spotted the tiniest of kittens running around (Joanna just loves animals and if one crossed our paths you'd fast learn that a unscheduled stop would be in order)


My Raft Home

The bus took longer than expected 3 instead of 2hrs but cost just 85Baht... !! Once in town I did what I have always wanted to do... try out a motorcycle taxi with backpack on, day pack in one hand and other little day bag in the other. Ipod on with Habibi playing (Budha Bar's Khaled something) Wrong continent I know, but Morrocan music worked just fine for the experience!! I managed the ride with no problems, thought better to try it out here in a quiet town rather than on the scary Bangkok streets.

Right, Im off to get watered and fed, haven't eaten since my breakfast of muesli, fruit and yogurt and I need to watch the sunset from my porch. Photos on the way. I have booked this place for three nights... leaving on the 3rd. :))

Ciao for now T x
