กาญจนบุรี Kanchanaburi

Kanchanaburi is a province west of Bangkok. A bus ride takes about 2hours while a train from Thonburi station (100baht) takes us about more than 3.5hours to get there.


Things i did at kanchanaburi: visited the Erawan waterfall, bridge over river khwaai, Death Museum, Night Market, we went for 150baht massage and cycling
Things i didn't do: Many. But i think the visit to the waterfall and the food at Sugar Cane is enough to make me like Kancahanburi..
Accommodation: Sugar Cane 2, a river raft house.

Day1,1030am-4pm:Erawan Waterfall.

We rented a songthaew, paying 300baht each, traveled for an hour before reaching. Entrance fee was 200baht. The Erawan waterfall consist for 7 tiers of waterfalls which we had to trek through quite a tough (crazy) terrain to get to each waterfalls. We swam and then we had fish therapy. Even though we spent 6 hours there, I felt that it was still too short. I think I need to go back there again..


The different tiers (not all 7 though):


And of course.. there was a night market for shopping and lots of food. You can even have a steamboat buffet for 90baht.

Pubs, internet cafe, massage parlors, bike rental shops, guesthouses fill most of streets where we stayed..

Please be inspired to go there.. andbring me along too! <3
