We leave here tomorrow after a few days sightseeing including of course the temples, river, canals, markets and shopping centres. We went to Jim Thompson's house yesterday and today a longer trip to the River Kwai, to the museum and rail bridge, and a trip on the railway from Kanchanaburi to near Nam Tok. This trip finished at the Koh Sàmui waterfall followed by a long mini-bus ride back to congested Bangkok.
It has been hot, 37 C , and no rain. The people are very friendly but there are many scams for tourists but we have avoided being taken-in, e.g. the temple is closed so come with me! or you have to wear shoes to get in, well no, you have to have no shoes, or it isn't open till two (actually closes at three!) etc. Still, its all done in a friendly way. The Sky Rail is very easy to use and also the river boats give great views.
