In the restaurant.
The bridge with train.
We slept well with the family in Lat Krabang last night.
Today we go to Kanchanaburi for
three or four nights.
We leave at a quarter to eleven.
On Kachanaphisek Road we stand in a traffic jam for almost an hour and 8 kilometers in front
of the toll gates at Thanon Rama II.
When we finally get through, we arrive at a road that is being thoroughly renovated and
therefore we miss the turn to Nakhon Pathom (and therefore also the one to Kanchanaburi).
Via a u-turn and some guessing we still get on the right track, Thanon Petchkasem, it is busy.
As we get further away from Bangkok it also becomes quieter.
We stop at a gas station for a sanitary stop and something to eat.
Pia has an appetite for khanom chin nam ya, but there's only luuk chin for sale and there's
a Subway branch.
We take a chance on Subway, the concept is the same as in the Netherlands, but there are
other types of toppings.
Further towards Kanchanaburi we almost miss another turn, but we can continue driving.
In Kanchanaburi we head towards the bridge because there are both hotels and restaurants there.
We rent a bungalow at
River Kwai Bridge Resort for three nights for 1200 Thb per night, possibly breakfast
for 100 Thb per person.
The bungalow is neat but gloomy and simple.
After unpacking the luggage walk towards the bridge over the river Kwae to have a drink.
There are some restaurants there, but not everything is open.
We sit down at Floating Raft Restaurant for the view of the bridge; a large restaurant which
we believe receives many groups.
We have a drink, order some snacks and another drink, and another drink.
Finally, we take a bottle of Regency back to the hotel.
