Kate Groves + The caribean connection

Ok So i tried to gt back to get to a national park on the way to bangkok but the express train wouldnt let me off at the correct station so i randomly bought a ticket to a next place. However this place had no guest houses and my new friend (a sharply dressed train conductor with a gun ) told me i would have to wait till the next mornin which meant sleepin in a train station.
So i bribed him to take me 2 bangkok instead.

So 14hrs later i arrived in Kanchanaburi the place with the bridge over the river kwai and all that.
I met this random disabled (due to an accident with a thai motorbike) girl and we went to a different national prk after drinkin sum ovaltine. She was kinda nice but smelt like garlic.




The national park was kinda beautiful. It had loads of trails and waterfalls yu could swim and jump in. Or if yu wanted yu could freak out while little fish nibble yur toes. We also saw loads of monkeys. One gave me a really dirty look so i screw-faced it back so as to show who was alpha male (I learnt from bbc wildlife that if yu show a angry ape yur penis it will be scared coz we have larger ones than our ape friends - but that wasnt appropriate.)


Later the riff-raff arrived - Ie mum, kate and aunty pat. We stayed in a nice posh hotel with an all yu can eat western buffet. but at my delight of not eatin anythin but rice and noodles i overdid it a little.





We all went went to the royal palace together. It was stunning with no expense spared - gold leafed paintings on every wall. We stood behind this dude for a few minutes while he painted intricate details but there was no puttin him off.



Showing yur arms and legs in public within the palace is considered - 'not cool'. So they give everyone these standard issue shirts - kate donned hers, lookin pretty fly.
