Sunburn and broken door handles

We are in Pattaya at the moment, original plan to head up to Chiang Mai changed when we discovered the trains are still not runniung because of the floods and didn't quite feel up to a 12hr bus journey so soon after a 10hr flight.

Just to say a bit more about Kanchanaburi as our last post was very brief .. it was beautiful there. Very green and not as built up as places like here in Pattaya and in Bangkok. We visited Kanchanaburi War Cemetry where hundres of WW2 POW's are buried, the cemetry is really peaceful and well looked after. We also visted the Death Railway museum. It was interestingly .. tacky? There is a small part of the original railway that the POW's built you can see and not much else. Its not very well looked after. We then attempted to walk along the "Bridge over the River Kwai" but that didnt last long, too many Korean Tourists, nothing to hold on to and the structure is full of big gaps? .. and I don't like heights.

I'm not sure there are such things as health and safety laws in Thailand, there is no one to control how many people are on the bridge and when a train comes you just have to find somewhere to get out to way. Anyhow, we also went bamboo rafting, elephant trekking (which was an experience indeed, especially for Barrie) and to see a waterfall.

I'm having trouble uploading photos so here are a few .. if it works.

We leave Pattaya tomorrow for Koh Chang. It's nice here but 4 days is quite enough.

The title of our entry comes from our hotel door breaking on more than one occasion and the severe 1st degree (joke) burns we have got. All fun though!

Check out us babes. Haw haw.
