No problem. I would definitely give a visit to Kanchanaburi Province a thumbs up. We visited there on a Sunday and everything was open. The roads in Thailand are very good, so travel was comfortable in an air conditioned van. It was a full day trip for us leaving the hotel in Bangkok at 6:00am and getting back around 8:30pm. Tong was our guide to Kanchanaburi and she put together a great tour. We first visited a Budhist temple and then the Damnoen Floating Market. Shopping on the boats was a lot of fun. Then we visited the Tiger Temple. Tong was great, telling us just where to stand so that we could walk and be photographed with the tigers. We also got to feed several other animals, including a Sun Bear. After lunch, we took a short ride on the Death Railway, getting to view the River Kwai up close as we crossed the famous Wang Po viaduct. We then visited the Bridge over the River Kwai and one of the cemetaries where mostly British and Dutch prisoners of war are buried. It was a very moving experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

Please take a look at my photos (see posting above), as there are several from Kanchanaburi included. Most of the places that we visited also have web sites that you can Google to learn more information.

If you have an evening free in Bangkok, another place you might enjoy is the Joe Louis Puppet Theater. It was great fun and was definitely a unique experience of Thai culture. We booked our visit through www.orientalescape.com (includes pick up from hotel), but you can also get info at www.thaipuppet.com .

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.
