Sukhothai to Krabi-Trains to the South and Burma Visa Run

Hello Everyone

We have done alot of travelling in the last few days.

We spent a night in Kanchanaburi and went to the cemetery which remembered the Allied soldiers from WW 2 who died building a railway acroos Thailand for the Japanese army. We visited the bridge they built as part of the Death Railway. From Kanchanaburi we took an locaol bus and two 3rd class trains that were both full.The first from Ban Pong to Hua Hin and the second to Chumphon.We had to sit on the floor for they journey. As we ran out of food we got so hungry we ate tomatoes or cucumbers with salt and it actually tasted good. In Chumphon we celebrated Thomas's 14th birthday by taking a bus for six hours to Ranong and then a boat to Myanmar/Burma to extend our visa so we could stay in Thailand for another 15 days. It was chaos and a little scary. We asked for lunch in Myanmar and were guided to an expensive restaurant which was uncomfortable because we surround and they watched or every move. Back in Thailand we got cake for Thomas cake which was nicely decorated as shown in the picture. We had ds to a small town very near the beach. The next day we took a taxi to here. We are in Krabi.

We bus to Krabi for the night then the next morning we went striaght to the beach. Now we are enjoying the sun, swimming and building sandcastles. We have only been stung a few times by the Jelly Fish and luckily not by the huge ones that are the size of footballs. Everyone is having a blast. Dinner is fun here to we go the the street stalls an order freahly prepared food which is cooked on the side of a motorbike.Cant wait to go snorkelling!!!
