We left Bangkok Southern bus station at 11am and arrived at Kanchanaburi bus station at 1.20pm. We took a tuktuk to the Sugar Cane Guesthouse One - this guesthouse is a floating cabin on the River Kwai. After lunch at the guesthouse, Lee Kam Boon and I went for a deep in the River Kwai ? I suppose we are the first two Malaysian to swim in this River Kwai near to the death railway bridge.

We then waked about 1.3km to The Bridge over River Kwai and witnessed the 6pm train passing through. We had dinner at Pai Kan restaurant ? very good and cheap.

Sleeping: Sugar-Cane Guesthouse at B550 a/c room for 2pax

?Day 16 (21.11.12) Kanchanaburi - Sangkhlaburi (213km)

After breakfast at 8am we rented bicycle (B50) to cycle to the Death Railway on the Bridge of River Kwai. We then walked across the bridge to see the new Kwan Yin Temple. We had cold coconut along the way to the War Cemetery. Came back to the guesthouse to rest and had lunch before taking a tuktuk to the bus station to take the van (B175) to Sangkhlaburi in a 3.5 hours journey. Arrived at the bus station at 4.35pm and walked the 2km to P.Guesthouse.

Sleeping: P.Guesthouse and Country Resort at B950 a/c room for 2pax (add bed is B300)

The track is developed into a walkway with side platforms. This allows crossing the railway bridge on foot. These platforms are useful as viewpoints and for avoiding trains.
