A few months ago when we were planning our trip we told ourselves that we wanted to finish up somewhere where we could relax and do nothing for a few days. Our decision fell on the island of Koh Tao. To get there from Khao Lak we first had to …
Visiting Khao Lak was not part of the original plan but after a few pleas and a guilt trip we decided to make a quick visit and visit our friends there… and we’re glad that we did! Getting there was no problem…. we just caught a flight from Bangkok to …
We arrived in Kanchanaburi at noon and the minibus dropped us off on the door step of our chosen accommodation… We checked in at VN Guesthouse and got a decent room with a double bed and fan that was located in a raft bungalow on the river for only 275 …
