Summing it all up.

Dec 10 - towards Si Sawat
The pictures below are thumbnails, meaning they are small copies of the real thing. You just click them. The weather in Norway and in Bangkok just now.

Today's trip was to Si Sawat some 100 kms East-North East of Kanchanaburi.

	To the left, the nice gangways at the Royal River Kwai Resort. Then off to some sight-seeing, but first Kran's batteries needed refill.
	Busy Kran with her car. Hunting for the right, light beer was difficult. Thais don't like light beers.
	Plenty beer, but no lights. The off to the The Nine-Army Battle Historical Park some 40 kms outside Kanchanaburi.
	Impressive monuments. Martin seen here.
	Martin with his green toes and Kran with her orange one. Nice colors. The map indicating the invading forces way into Thailand or Siam as it was called then.
	Army solder from the days. It was a nice museum, but only in Thai. Obliviously, this park is meant for domestic consumption only. One of the other building next to the main buildig.
	Martin and Kran outside the main building. For details, see the official site. Old guns did they have too.
	Martin on top of his gun. Details of the main museum.
	Gun emplacements. And old water truck that fascinated Martin.
	Martin checking the finer details of the engine. Martin and the Thai flag. The same colors as the Norwegian one.
	Thathungna dam. An impressive one that Martin visited on the way back. Another view of the dam.
	Nice Thai vegetables. The weird one closes to the camera is China cucumber. Nice shop-keepers on the road.
	Nice dam. It is very big and looks like a rivers with all its small arms. Kran with the flowers on the rails on one of the bridges.
	Another arm of the dam. The Erawan municipality greets the king of Thailand in flowers.
	Nice flowers Off to the Erawan waterfalls.
	The main monument of the waterfall. Even Telenor from Norway is present with their log. But spelling goood with 3 o's is not impressive.
	Very nice walking through the forest up to the waterfalls. Funny plants in all weird shapes and forms.
	Martin met a Thai woman that also had green toe nails. The waterfall itself.
	Martin and Kran. The area was very well laid out for a picknick.
	Nice trees. Actually, it is not only one waterfall, but a series of them.
	More funny roots growing above the ground. The main monument in conjunction with the waterfalls.
	Elephant made of funny roots. The information center.
	Of to Thathungna Dam. Friendly officers at the entrance of the dam.
	Dam wall. The dam.
	Golf course. The dam wall itself.
	Up the dam wall itself. On top of the dam wall.
	Floating house. No entry. Kran at the sign saying so she says.
	Inside the dam. Martin enjoying a piece of dried fish.
	A funny gangway out into the water. Purpose unknown. Then off to see some rock sculptures. All 8s.
	Stone turtle. Stone figures.
	Stone workers. Really hard and unhealthy work. But the stone figures turn out to be very nice.
	Martin on a bench. A lovely stone chair. Something for Fred Flintstone.
	Another type of stone chair. Try to buy some light beers from a fat lady. No dice.
	Kran waiting for her spicy soup. Martin's garlic pieces or whatever they are called in English.
	Kran happy with her spicy liver soup. Mama Garlic. She really managed to cook Martin's garlic correctly in the end.
	Off to the Jolly Frog, a very good and reasonable restaurant in the middle of Kanchanburi. Outside is a temple for Buddha where food is offered.
	Jolly Frogg staffer with one of the very few working girls in town. The distinct shirts of the Jolly Frog's staff is easily spotted.

The next day, Saturday December 11^th, it was time to go to Bangkok for Kran to see Anan. He is an arsehole of a businessman that exploits his colleagues, business partners and staff. He is a scrupulous shit with no social conscience. Martin went poolside.
