A traveller's reflection: 2017 Q6 4NR Day 03: Chumphon

My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

Arrived Kanchaburi around 5.00 pm. Planned to stay the night at River Kwai Hotel but it was full. Most hotels were full too because of the peak season and also there were some major events held in town. The largest biking adventure tour event in Asia was also held in the area of Srinakarin Dam about 40 km from town.

Decided to stay the night in Luxury Hotel, our favorite boutique hotel for Baht600/night. Walked quite a distance to the night market for Nasi Ayam dinner, Bought Thai durian which tasted not as good as our durian kampung.
