Kanchanaburi

After an interesting train ride from Bangkok, Kanchanaburi was our base for the next few days. Famous for the bridge over the river Kwai - and an important place for Kerrin ( His Great grandfather was captured during WWII and sent to work on the railway under the Japanese army). We were able to use the local Museum to help gather some information on his death and where his unit worked thanks to the amazing research centre.
We hired a motorbike for 2 days and seized the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas including Erawan waterfalls ( 7 tiered waterfalls with clear waters and HUGE fish that suck on your feet), and Tiger temple ( a refuge centre that gives an up close experience with these beautiful animals.)
