We decided to travel to Hellfire Pass with an organised tour which included a trip to the seven levels of the Erawan waterfall - one of the best in Thailand, a visit to the Pass and then return journey by the train along the death railway (or DEAD railway as a number of Thai signs described it). Since it was difficult to do all of this in one day under our own steam, we thought we would take advantage of someone else's experience.
Turned out that there were only three of us on the trip - our companion was a youngish Austrian named Kai who had been travelling in Thailand since the end of December and had been on his own for the last two weeks after his girlfriend had left to return to work in Austria. To say that he was talkative would be a gross understatement - from meeting at 9.00am until we got back to the guesthouse at 5.30pm he never stopped. Guess he hadn't had much conversation in the last couple ofweeks!
He was also staying in the same guesthouse and as we sat down to dinner he arrived and joined us - without eating or drinking - for the whole meal and then did the same again at lunch time today. We picked up one or two helpful tips from the constant chatter but were very glad to wave goodbye as he headed for Bangkok and his flight home.
