Well, i'm still in Bangkok as of today, in spite of having planned to be in Kanchanaburi province by now, and it looks like i'm likely to be here a few days longer as well. The reason? My bloody debit card got taken by an ATM. Sodding machines.
So, i panicked for about 20 minutes, and then got in touch with my dad, who found out the contacts for getting this all fixed. Some frantic phone calling ensued, and now i'm waiting for a replacement card to arrive. I've been told it will be 2-5 days, so i'm stuck in Bangkok for that period.
Still, other then that one setback, things are pretty nice. I'm having fun walking around Bangkok, even though it feels like I sweat about a litre every time i step out the door. I'll be looking to do some touristy stuff today, once i can actually be bothered going out and about.

Hang in there Buddy!
There's nothing to prevent you doing a (long) day trip to Ayutthaya . . . it's only about 80km north by a cheap train.
I'll think of other (cool) things - look upon it as an opportunity.
Actually, i ended up using my money problems as an excuse for a whole lot of walks, which was a good thing. I haven't done so much walking in ages, and it's a brilliant way to explore the city. Tomorrow's the countryside, which will be even better!
