Kanchanaburi is a beautiful little piece of paradise that many people look over while visiting thailand. Running along the River Kwai you can easily find a nice little hammock to sleep in or can go hike the Erawan Waterfalls. Relaxing and simply enjoying nature we swam, hiked, and enjoyed the most beautiful sunset over the
bridge on the River Kwai- if it sounds familiar it is because this little piece of architecture is center of a great novel and later a film based on true events during WWII. I loved discovering little touches of thai culture as we would find spirit trees in the woods. These trees house special spirits and to show respect to these spirits they are dressed in very colorful fabrics and given sacred offerings.

After we left the little city we drove to the most amazing temple. Wat Tham Mangkon Thong is a temple with a cool
story. If you want you can climb the stairs through a small little cave to a beautiful balcony. And if you want a bit more fun go beyond and find the extra caves in the back- but be sure to take a flashlight because it is really dark down there!
