March '06 Journey II : Kanchanaburi

Kanchanaburi, a province in the west taking about 2-3 hours from Bangkok, was my 2nd destination for my Thailand visit this time. Kanchanaburi is one of the provinces in Thailand excluding Bangkok that I have been for so many times like Phrae and Chachengsao, mom's and dad's hometown respectively, and also Rayong whcih was my past workplace. It is because my uncle has a farm there.

Kanchanaburi is a historic and tourist province. It used to be a historic place during the WWII, so it is no doubt that many Japanese tourists want to visit there. They also have lots of minitary service areas because of its strategical landscape. Besides, it is filled with nature such as waterfalls, mountains, and rivers.

This time, I didnot only go to the farm, which is now changed from ducks to cows due to bird flu, but also visited to the extreme western Thailand at the border to Myanmar. I spent 2 nights at the farm which is not far from the city of Kanchanaburi.

Let's go to some parts of Kanchanaburi with my photos.........
