Kanchanaburi

 Pull up a seat while I tell you a tale of long ago........

In 2009, JB and I , younger, and almost certainly less jaded, visited Kanchanaburi on a day trip from Bangkok. 

It made such an impression on us that, a mere 14 years later, we've come back.

Our main interest back then was in seeing and indeed riding on the famous (infamous?) Death Railway.



About 18,000 POW'S and between 80 and 100,000 forced labour civilians died during its construction.

They reckon that equates to one life per sleeper laid.

Horrible.

But we'd heard that there was much more than that to the town, and we intend to do our best to find out.

And if anyone can. .......
