Today was spent traveling over to the western area of the country, the province of Kanchanaburi. Most of the day was spent in a series of four buses. By the time we were near our destination, it was dark and closed, so we had to stay in a small town called Thong Pha Phum. In Bangkok there were a lot of traffic jams including one caused by the moving of the dead body of the King’s recently deceased sister.
