Travel: Kanchanaburi

Go to the bus station on the west side of the river in Bangkok. I forget if thats the north or south station but it doesn't make sense. 70 Baht for the bus to Kanchanaburi 2-3 hour ride. When you arrive, walk to the river and look for a place to stay. If you walk North along the river, the road goes up a hill and turns right, after that is "Need a raft" Guesthouse. It is a rafthouse, 90 baht for a room with a fan (and loud roosters and party barges all night). But the food is great and the guy is nice. The place is nice too.

Ask him where to rent a bike and rent it for like 20 baht per day. I rode to the Bridge on the River Kuai, then rode north across the northern bridge and then a few kilometers away to some temples and towns.
