Our last full day in Thailand started out in Kanchanaburi and ended at the 4.5 star Suvarnabhumi Suite in Bangkok. We were both starting to feel the exhaustion from the non-stop activity and after the 4 hour drive to the city through terrible traffic, we planned a low-key day for ourselves. We visited the well-known Sky Bar at The Dome Bangkok and took care of some last minute shopping for gifts for friends & family back home.

Well rested and excited to start the day, we enjoyed an early breakfast at the resort before our 8am pickup for the Erawan Trekking Adventure. During the tour we hiked the Erawan Falls, swam in 2 of the tiers, rode an elephant, traveled the River Kwai on a bamboo raft, visited the Krasae Cave, took a trip on the Death railway, and stood on the famous bride over the River Kwai. Talk about a memorable (and exhausting) day!
