Monsoon

One last place to see, the infamous Bridge over the river Kwai. Actually two were built at about the same time. The wooden one, famed in the film of the same name, and one made with concrete pillars, and steel. Both were completed within months of each other. Only one survived. 

Got there by using song thaew, which are converted pick up trucks. They have a fixed fee of 10 bhat per person. Asked the driver to drop us off by the road that leads to the bridge. It's about 1 km to walk along this road. To the amusement of the other passengers, who were all local Thai's, and our surprise he turned off his route and took us all the way. Naturally we tipped  him. The Thai's are such nice people.

Decided to walk back to our floating platform. About 2 hours. It's best to walk slowly when its 35 C, and quite humid.

Just in time because it started to RAIN, biblical style!! Mike was pleased we were on floating accommodation. Its monsoon season in Thailand until the end of September.

Tomorrow we catch a couple of buses to the old capital city, Ayutthaya.

Leave you with a few photos.
