Together with Inge, my neighbour in the guest house, we went on a day trip to the waterfall Sai Yok Noi. We actually took the train which runs accross the bridge over ther river Kwai - because it left at 6AM it was still dark, so again no pictures.At the waterfall there was a sign to a cave, so we walked up there. At a ranger station there was a sign indicating that if you want to go into the cave you should register. We expected that registering would mean that we would probably have to pay another 'foreigner fee', but decided to do it anyway. But paying the 100Baht didn't only allow us to go into the cave but we were accompanied by the local ranger with a flash light and gas lamp.
And the cave was huge with multiple chambers, stalagtites, stalagmites, curtains which made different sounds. A nice non-touristy experience.
On the same day we also paid a visit to the Hell-fire-pass museum. Here there was a dutch audio tour available, because a lot of dutch prisoners also worked on the railway going over the Hell-fire-pass. It's very impressive to hear the actuals stories of the survivors, while walking on the old railway tracks.
