Kanchanaburi, Motorcycle Tour & Erawan National Park (day 4-6)

প্ৰকাশিত: 29.03.2019

Although it's not the fastest way to travel to Kanchanaburi by train, it is definitely one of the most beautiful ways 🚞😍 On the way there, you can see many smaller villages, fruit plantations, and lakeshore landscapes.

Almost there...

This time, I didn't book a hostel in advance, I wanted to take a look around first. However, I quickly found the VN Guesthouse (Attention product placement 😁) and got a really great accommodation for 11 euros. Some of the rooms are floating on the water and the view over the Khwae Yai River is fantastic.

On the day of arrival, I didn't have anything else planned, I just wanted to explore the city a bit and visit the JJ Night Market in the evening. Of course, it didn't stop at the market, I also discovered the bar street, Maenamkwai road...😅✌

... and made new friends😁 because you never sit alone in a bar for long and 2 Italians and a Thai quickly joined me. The 3 of them planned a motorcycle tour to the mountains for the next day, so I joined them spontaneously. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single motorcycle to be found in all of Kanchanamburi... but about 1,000,000 scooters🤷‍♀️😅

Last break 😁🤘


The tour and the people I was allowed to do it with were wonderful. We left Kanchanaburi and went around the Erawan National Park (which I actually wanted to visit on this day, but then the bikers approached me...😁). At the halfway point, we were greeted with an incomparable lake panorama and we crossed it by boat.

End station, now continue by boat 😁

Once we arrived on the other side, we stopped at a floating seafood restaurant😁🙌

...and worse food🤤🤭
...and of course there were side dishes as well...😅

After a refreshing meal, we made our way back and made a few small stops along the way.

Short break on the way back (it was total countryside, but no matter how remote a house or place is, you can buy drinks and food everywhere 🙌

After two hours at the guesthouse, we met in the evening for dinner (of course at a pizzeria with Italians 😅) and surprisingly, the pizza was really good!🤤
It was an amazing day...
Biker gang🤘😁

And so this day came to an end...

The next day, it was finally time for the Erawan National Park, which I was looking forward to even from Germany. I took the first bus at 8 a.m. and drove for about 1.5 hours.
The bus parked right in front of the entrance, so I could start walking right away.

The waterfalls are spread over seven levels, I decided to walk all the way up to the top, as there are the fewest people there at this time of day (my logic...😅)
From the 5th floor onwards, the ascent was surprisingly strenuous and you sometimes had to do a little climbing, good thing I was wearing my Nikes (another product placement 😆) instead of flip-flops🙏
7th floor 👌
Natural pool on the 7th floor...

But after a while, it was too crowded for me here as well, so I decided to fight my way through the bushes 😁...

.... With success!
Pool just for me...😁
A natural pool just for me and no one in sight 😁👌
And I
And I'm already in 😁

I stayed in here until I almost dissolved...I think I was in the water for about 1.5 hours, then my cover was blown and I was no longer alone, but it was time to head back anyway🥾😁
The other levels were also nice to see, but I personally prefer to swim with fewer people 😉

A wonderful day in nature, 1000 times more beautiful to visit for me than the cities... #purenature #countrygirl 😉✌

Just in time for sunset, I was back in Kanchanaburi 🌅
Back in Kanchanaburi...🌅

Now just eat and have a Chang beer and then off to bed...
