After my first night in Bangkok, I decided I was not in the mood for ‘doing a city’, and I needed to get out of town — fast. So, I decided to rent a car and head to the country.
The Plan
The idea was to drive out of Bangkok up to the “Death Railway”, stay there for the night and explore the railway the next day.
From there, I planned to move to Hellfire Pass to look around that area.
I was also planning on visiting several Commonwealth War Cemeteries in the area.
Renting a car
Renting a car in Bangkok was tricky.
Attempting to rent a car online from most major rental companies returned “nothing available”. I guess it was because I was trying to rent a car for that day.
