We did two tours in Bangkok. The first was the Ayutthaya day tour. It got off to a rocky start because the bus we were meant to catch had a crash on the way so we had to wait an hour for the next one. It was worth the wait though because the views of the temples, palaces, Buddhas and religious monuments were stunning. It was even better in its ruined state because you could really understand the cultural significance.
The second day tour we did was in Kachanburi (2 hours out of Bangkok). We went to River Kwai, the war cemetery, JEATH museum and walked the bridge over the River Kwai. The history of the place was really interesting. We got to go on the train to see along the Death Railway and the most dangerous curving bridge. For lunch we had a nice buffet lunch at a restaurant on the river. From there we caught a bamboo raft to the elephant riding place. Sam was so excited and we think our mahout could tell because she was the only one from the group that got to swap roles with the mahout and ride the elephant on its neck - pretty freaky going down the hill like that! After that we went to Saiyoknoi Waterfall, the best waterfall we have seen! We got to climb to the top and go under the waterfall into little caves.
Both tours were amazing and we would highly recommend both!
