Two days of drinking, eating and travelling have taken its toll and on arrival at The Tavee Guest House we crash and burn. Six hours sleep and a shower later and we are ready to go.
First job get Adrian a hair cut as he looks decidedly unkempt. Dinner is at a little restaurant by the river. Lots of pointing to other peoples dinners finds us tucking into roast pork with rice, shrimp salad and tom yam, a soupy affair. I'm not bothered by the soup but the rest is delicious. As you walk along the streets past the little restaurants it is complete sensory overload, everything looks and smells wonderful.
The river is served by a wonderful ferry service, it's overloaded but quick and cheap. We have a mid afternoon cruise down to China Town a wonderful maze of alleyways were you can buy anything.
Our next stop is to be Kachanaburi, bus or train bus or train? We take the boat to the station to check out the prices. When we eventually find the railway station the train looks fantastic like something from 70 years ago, hard wooden seats and open windows - decision made, we leave tomorrow.
