This is the beginning of the "Bridge Over the River Kwai." I think it speaks for itself. From what a local told me, this is one of the actual bombs dropped on the bridge by the Allies, but did not detonate.
Sitting in the middle of the "Bridge Over the River Kwai." Some nice Americans took this photo for me during rare instant of no other tourists in sight.
"Yeah Bill, I'm going to have to call you back."
This shot was taken in the WWII museum. It kind of sums it up.
Not really sure why, but in the WWII museum, there exists a wing devoting itself to the evolution of mankind. Present is a large mural depicting life of early man. Forget the guy in the other section where he's being trampled by a bison he is trying to kill, this guy has gotten it right.
The boat you see in the background ferries people and their scooters back and forth across the river for 5 baht (.20c). I had the chance to ride it the next day with my friend Jiji and her scooter. Oh, and then I ate this spicy pork dish, drank that beer (yes there is ice in it) you see, then smoked a cigarette.
Basking in a post lunch glow. After a long day on my rented bicycle, it was almost time to get back to my bungalow for a beer and a nappy-poo.
