Summing it all up.
 

Dec 19 - Off to River Kwai again
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.

A lovely day at The Orathai and 5 hours later, we were in  Kanchanaburi and The Royal River Kwai hotel.

To the left, the brisk clear day after the previous day's rain, made the colors of the day very crisp.

The lone coffee table waiting for us before our swim.

Lovely palms in the wind.

Martin's favorite breakfast food, vegetable soup with chicken.

Lone birds in the rice fields below Orathai Hill Resort.

Kran off to her car before departure for Hua Hin.

Farewell to a lovely pool in Khlong Lan.

Martin's favorite brewery in Thailand, The Chang.

On route, a Chinese festival procession crossed the street.

Lovely mountain view on one of our stops on route.

A stop for an iced coffee always refreshed you. Martin here with the lovely attendant that only served iced coffee. No cups and no customers for the hot stuff.

Kran and Martin sharing an iced coffee.

Tourist map over Nakhon Sawan, one of the cities on route to Kanchanaburi.

First cane juice mill on the road. Cane juice is very nice and refreshing, if served cold.

How to make the gluttonous rice. Inside the bamboo is rice, coconut meat and sugar. Really a calorie bomb.

A quick stop to say hello to  Mr. Sex. He was drunk and not in. Here is his wife.

Close to Kanchanaburi is the Vietnam Veteran War museum. A very impressive structure.

Martin with a Huey from the war.

A tail end view of the Huey.

Kran with her number on the Huey.

The museum was sandbagged like the fortifications used in Vietnam.

Martin and a spotter plane.

The Thai and Norwegian colors are the same, red, white and blue so the Thai air symbol is identical to the Norwegian's ones.

Kran ready to take off in a spotter plane.

Another sandbagged view of the museum.

A sandbagged trench, also a replica from the Vietnam war.

A very impressive monument. The Thais lost some 1000 men in Vietnam, the Americans more than 56 000. But the Thai museum is far more impressive than the American dark depressing wall in Washington DC.

Those killed in the was are listed here.

Martin and restaurant manager at the River Kwai. Martin gave Tick-Tock two Chang Light to test out.

The rates at the Jolly Frog, a far cry from Riwer Kwai's 1550 (€ 39) baths a night.

The Chang Light is being promoted on girls.

And to the right on new signs around town. Good. It is Martin's favorite beer.

The next day, Monday December 20th, it was time to depart for Hua Hin and Milford Paradise Hotel.
