Hi!
We're on the verge of choosing accommodation in Kanchanaburi and would like some advice as to which one is better.
It has been narrowed down to:
Sugarcane Guesthouse II
Blue Star Guesthouse
Both are around the same price. We're after a guesthouse that is fun and you can interact with fellow travellers, but relaxing at the same time and is also fairly accessable to local attractions, bars and food. We'll be catching local buses from town to various places not in town.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hawaiian has good airfares as well. try their website. put in a five digit zip code and then when they ask you to pay, say your billing address is different and give your correct billing address, this is for your to get ATA ticket. otherwise just call ATA from Singapore which is a cheap enough call..you may pay an extra 10 usd for the ticket ..
sorry wrong question answered, my answer was supposed to be on a question about lax fare.. sorry about that
Sorry, was that last reply meant for me? It doesn't make sense.
Blue Star is more centrally located. Sugarcane is a bit off the main stretch though seems better than Blue Star. Local transport is not readily available unless you have a vehicle (it's 15-20 min walk one-way).
When I was there, I stayed at V N House - almost the same as above two but with a better location than Sugarcane. I took their floating rooms - cheap and good - No Complains!! If it appeals to you, browse for more information on web or contact them through email id - vnguesthouse@hotmail.com
We took a longtail boat down the Kwai River to the pretty Sai Yok waterfall one day. We were the only two on our tour (and so were very spoilt!) and we were left on a raft tied up to the waterfall while we had lunch...very nice! :) After lunch we had a shower under the falls then relaxed a bit before heading off...
One of the best ways to see the western region of Thailand is via moped. The roads are clean, well-paved and taken care of. Highway 323 has a fascinating array of sights to visit as you wind up north towards the Myanmar border. There are ancient wats, mostly covered by jungle. There are museums and monuments to the POWs that died here in WWII trying to carve a railway through the jungle for the Japanese. There are parks with jungles, monkeys, and waterfalls. It is a beautiful land with limestone cliffs covered in jungle vegetation. Definitely worth the experience, and it gets you to places you don't normally see while traveling around Thailand.
We have a word of warning from an expat here about hiring motorbikes, mopeds. We have been warned not to hire bikes from the bike place to the left of the entrance to the Jolly Frog. You will get a bad bike which is likely to break down. Only when you break down and complain, you may get a better bike. You have been warned.
We took a bus day tour which included a visit to the historic bridge. I had visited the bridge in 1977 and from memory the only change being commercial buildings constructed to service the tourist industry. The narrow bridge is available to tourists and you can walk accross it , but be careful where you walk and stay on the wooden walkway between the rails as outside this there are many holes big enough for you to fall through. There are viewing platforms for photos or just to admire the wide river, a very beautiful sight.
This museum has been constructed in the form of an Allied prisoner of war camp and contains belongings, photos, and pictures dating from the WWII, donated by the survived prisoners.
JEATH stands for 6 countries involved in the second world war: Japan, England, America, Australia, Thailand and Holland.
The museum is open daily 8.30 am to 6.00 pm.
