Planes, trains and boats

We have taken several really nice train journeys since we have been in Thailand. The trip from Phitsanolok to Bangkok was gorgeous, as was the trip from Bangkok to Kanchanuburi. Today was the buses turn. Our bus went from Kanchanuburi to Sankhlaburi, near the Myanmar border. We passed through steep sided mountains, misty jungle and alongside a lake to get here, and it was all stunning! Got to Sangkhlaburi around 15.00, and checked ourselves into the first hotel we could find, which turned out to be a few minutes walk from the bus station (Sangkhla is not a big place). Spent a quite 15 minutes at the giant reclining buddah before deciding to check out the lake a few kms out of town. The lake was gorgeous, with some really nice guesthouses sat overlooking the water. Originally only came here for the bus journey, and to check out the Three Pagodas pass into Myanmar, but we have booked a room in a really pretty guesthouse by the water now, so will stay here for a few days extra to enjoy the scenery (as well as hiring some canoes to have an explore of the lake).
