Follow the river and you will find the sea

Last weekend we went to Kanchanaburi, location of the famous River Kwai (which is also a bad word in Thai, or so I’ve been told). In spite of the fact that I was surrounded by nature for two days (I am not a fan of bugs crawling down my shirt anytime they like), it really was a lovely break from the concrete jungle of Bangkok and the boiling pot of stress my life has been lately.
During our two-days of bugs and beauty, we climbed up to some beautiful waterfalls, went to a spa in the hot springs, and even rafted down the River Kwai like Huckleberry Finn – once I realized we weren’t going to sink and drown, it was actually fun! I even enjoyed the camping aspect of our trip, mostly because our tent was air-conditioned. (What can I say? I’m a city girl at heart.) Plus, a weekend hanging out with my favorite people is never a bad thing.
