Today we are up and ready to head to see the rest of Kanchanaburi before we leave at 130.  Sage is feeling better and ready to go this morning.  We get all packed up and check out and head out with a driver for the morning.  We are on a seongtow (pickup truck with a […]

Today is Tuesday here and we have been looking forward to a special all day Thai cooking class with the famous Noi in Kanchanaburi.  Unfortunately, Sage has been up all night with ‘Thai tummy” and is definitely not able to be out all morning at the market and cooking.  We finally broke down this morning […]

This morning we had to get up early after our long travel day yesterday to get to the bus to go to Erawan falls.  We had talked about getting a guide or driver, but the guest house owner here talked us out of it and into taking the local bus.  This was a mistake.  We […]
