so another bright and early start on Saturday morning where I would be picked up from my hotel in bangkok and taken 200k up north to see and do lots of touristy things!
So we started in with the floating market which was interesting to say the least, basically a network of what I can only describe as canals all in a grid and all along the sides there are stalls with people selling you things, literally shoving things in to your hand shouting “you buy you buy” its was an experience!!!!
next they took us to the river kwai (probably spelt wrong) there we crossed the railway bridge the Japs bombed in the second world war then looked around the museum of the bridge which was interesting.
Then we went on the death railway which was part of the railway which went from bangkok to Burma that the POW's constructed, this day was fairly ok but not amazingly exhilarating but at the same time was nice to be with a large group of people!
So they then took us up to the accommodation which was super awesome it was a massive floating raft with a bar and a big seating area and then all the rooms as well. It was so pretty and quiet :)
had some great conversations with some of the other group members that night, met some Sweeds and Israeli's, Germans, fins, French and not a single other Englishman!! and we just stayed up drinking through the night.
