Thailand, Wednesday 20th October 2004
I had a week by myself, except it was not like that at all. After two days I hooked up with a Thai girl called Anna who was staying at the same guest house as me at the death railway in Thailand. We had some great days together, seeing the sights, waterfalls, the death railway, hellfire pass and so on. I hired a mountain bike, a motorbike and a ten year old Honda Accord (car) with over 250,000 km on the clock which was still okay to get about in. We went to Kanchanaburi and saw the bridge over the river Kwai.
When George came back from the UK Anna and I went over to meet her at Ayutthaya and spent two days there before heading off to Cambodia. I said goodbye to Anna at Bangkok station and I will not be seeing her again as she is totally mad - she wanted me to stay in Thailand and not go to Cambodia or on the rest of my trip. We got the train to the border town of Aranya Prathet which took five hours and was third class only with hard seats. We stayed the night and went to the border the next day.
