We made a few more stops for coffee break at the Amazon Café. By 7:00 pm we arrived in Kanchanaburi and drove direct to the infamous Bridge over the River Kwai. There were a large crowd at the bridge, obviously waiting for the beautiful sun set. We bought fried rice-to- go from a Muslim stall near the Train Station.
