Budget Travel Tips and Articles
Thailand doesn’t need my praise to attract travelers. Just Google image search the country and you’ll immediately want to be there. Their world-famous beaches, the laid-back north, the temples, the food, the bloody monkeys! I’ll always remember Thailand as the place that I first saw wild elephants.

Kanchanaburi, Thailand: Bridge on the River Kwai (minus the bridge)
It was easy-peasy to get from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi. We hopped on the 7:50am train from Thonburi Station (formerly known as Bangkok Noi station).

Make sure you consult the man in seat 61.
