Life on the ocean wave

Getting out and about on the mighty Bangkok rivers

Bangkok getaways - Kanchanaburi

An idea tourist destination that's not far from the capital

Although I stayed 4 days/3 nights, Kanchanaburi can be visited in just a day or two if time is scarce. It's definitely worth it if you're in dire need of some low-cost rest and relaxation in unspoilt green surroundings.
