English version:
After a 3 hours train journey from Thonburi station, my new travel buddies and I arrived at Kanchanaburi at mid-day on Tuesday. I met Lila – the wonderful hippie girl from Berlin – at Thonburi station and our small group got to know each other on the way to our destination. She was traveling with her guide: a very kind old Thai gentleman.
The same day we rented a scooter with Lila and visited the Giant Mimosa Tree. My travel buddy fell in love with it in a split second, and was very very disappointed to draw the conclusion she cannot be a magic creature from the fairy tales who lives inside this tree. The Giant Tree is truly amazing and it really looks like from a tale. Its shape basically goes against the laws in physics because it is too wide horizontally – totally unreal. It is over 100 years old, its diameter is nearly 52 metres, height is 20. You need to gather at least 10 people to embrace its trunk.
The bridge on the River Kwai was our evening program. We enjoyed the sunset while a train went through the bridge. It was awesome.
Magyar verzio:
3 ora vonatozas utan a Thonburi allomasrol, ujdonsult utitarsaimmal megerkeztunk Kanchanaburiba valamikor del tajban. Lilat – az elkepeszto berlini hippi csajt – a Thonburin ismertem meg es a kis csapat hamar osszebaratkozott. Egy nagyon kedves thai uriemberrel utazott, akit felfogadott vezetonek.
Meg aznap ketten bereltunk egy robogot es elmentunk az Orias Mimoza Fahoz. Utitarsam rogton szerelmbe esett a jelenseggel es csalodott volt, hogy nem elhet mesebeli tunderkent a fa odvaiban. Az Orias Mimoza Fa valoban nem e vilagi latvany. A strukuraja teljesen ellent mond a fizika torvenyeinek, mintha a gravitacio nem hatna ra – tul szeles horizontalisan – teljesen valoszerutlen. A fa 100 eves, atmeroje 52 meter, magassaga 20. 10 embert kell osszegyujtened, hogy aterjek a torzset.
Az esti program pedig a Kwai-folyo hidja volt. A naplementeben megneztuk, ahogy atrobog rajta egy vonat. A latvany ott is lenyugozo volt.
