"Why going to Kanchanaburi?" some people might ask. It has never been a capital of Siam, Thailand or any of the other great kingdoms in the region. It is more of a border town, with the usual share of temples and a peaceful riverside atmosphere. Does that give you a clue already? No? Well, think of a bridge... the first bridge that comes to your mind... Not yet? well, I'm sure that if I whistle you one last clue, you'll immediately know what I mean.
:-)
Apart of *that* bridge, there are a range of other atractions in Kanchanaburi. There is an excellent museum on the construction of *that* bridge, and other exhibitions on related subjects. You can go to a monastery, where the monks have created a wild life reserve, a very special zoo.
Alien tried as well (unfortunatelly, unsuccessfully) to locate a misterious monastery on the outskirts of town, and the Dragon Cave, while Nuvolgris was taking some intensive course in Thai cooking, given by the very friendly Micki from Apple GuestHouse.

Many more activities can be arranged from Kanchanaburi, but unfortunately we had to leave them for next journey into the region, as that was our last stop before going back to Bangkok.
