Just a quick update. Today I am in Bangkok, again. We are here for 2 days then we start moving towards Southern Thailand. We were in Kanchanabury for the last couple days. We visited a war museum. We explored Hellfire pass, which the Japanese arranged to have built by Prisoners of War and Chinese labourers during the second world war to make it easy for trade between Burma and Thailand. The POW's worked 18 hour days and it took 6 weeks to construct. A lot of people died during this time and it was an amazing thing to see.

We also visited a 7 tiered waterfall at Erawan National Park. This place was pure beauty. It started pouring, like rain-season pour, on our way. But it was awesome. The water from the fall is crystal blue, the kinda blue you can only imagine. 

We stayed in beautiful huts. It was really nice there and the huts were on a lagoon. I was so sad to leave this morning.
I'm off in 2 days, I'll write soon!

I've attached some random pics.
