# Tredegar

Tredegar is a small industrial town in Monmouthshire, South Wales. It is by no means a major tourist destination, but it does have a certain off-the-beaten-path charm and is located on the edge of Brecon Beacons National Park, making it a fine base for hiking.

## Get in

From the M4 (south) take A467 at junction 28 and then follow signs for Tredegar to A4048, from which the town centre is well signed. From the north, take the A40 to A465 towards Merthyr Tydfil. Turn left onto A4048 from the roundabout signed for Tredegar and then look for signs for the town centre.

## Get around

There is a public parking lot on Morgan Street in the town centre. From there, the Town Clock and Bedwellty House are within easy walking distance. Ask at the local hostel or one of the bed and breakfast about bus options for travel into Brecon Beacons.

A manor and public Victorian park built in 1818 for the then ironmaster of the Tredegar Iron Company. Well worth strolling around to admire, among other things, its arboretum and the world's largest lump of coal. The bandstand in the park stages various performances during the summer. Rooms in the manor may be rented out for meetings/events.
* Town Clock, Morgan Street. A landmark hard to overlook, as it looms large over the town centre, the Tredegar Town Clock is 72 feet tall, wholly made cast-iron from the Tredegar iron works, and was erected in 1958. In fact, it is the tallest tower made solely of cast-iron in the world.

# Trece Martires

Trece Martires is a city in Cavite in the Philippines and the de facto capital of the province. The city lacks almost anything of tourist importance, but it is a major point for travellers to the inland of southern Cavite.

## Understand

The city was established in 1954 as the new government center for Cavite, and is named after the Thirteen Martyrs of Cavite, who are executed by the Spaniards during the Philippine Revolution.

The capital has been transferred to Imus during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos, but the government offices remain at Trece Martires.
There are plenty of restaurants and shopping around town, but hotels are rather scarce. Trece Martires is also noted for its lack of gambling establishments (the nearest is the relocated Santa Ana Racecourse at Naic).

# Three Kingdoms

The Three Kingdoms (simplified Chinese: 三国; traditional Chinese: 三國; pinyin: Sān Guó) from 220 to 280 AD was period that China was the tripartite divided into three dynastic states, Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu.

## Understand

The Three Kingdoms period was preceded by the Eastern Han dynasty and was followed by the Western Jin dynasty. The short-lived state of Yan on the Liaodong Peninsula, which lasted from 237 to 238, is sometimes considered as a "4th kingdom".
Academically, the period of the Three Kingdoms refers to the period between the establishment of Cao Wei in 220 and the conquest of the Eastern Wu by the Western Jin in 280. The earlier, "unofficial" part of the period, from 184 to 220, was marked by chaotic infighting between warlords in various parts of China during the downfall of the Eastern Han dynasty. The middle part of the period, from 220 to 263, was marked by a more militarily stable arrangement between three rival states of Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu. The later part of the era was marked by the conquest of Shu by Wei in 263, the usurpation of Cao Wei by the Western Jin in 266, and the conquest of Eastern Wu by the Western Jin in 280.

# Three Pagodas Pass

Three Pagodas Pass (Thai: ด่านเจดีย์สามองค์ Darn Chedi Sam Ong) is on the Thai-Myanmar border, but accessible to foreigners only from the Thai side. It is between Sangkhlaburi in Thailand and Payathonzu in Myanmar.

## Understand

Three Pagodas Pass was for centuries on the main land route between India and South East Asia. The strategic location was last exploited during World War II by the Japanese, who used POW labour to build the infamous Death Railway to ferry supplies to Burma from Bangkok.

## Get in

From Thailand: the nearest major town is Kanchanaburi. There are frequent bus services from Kanchanaburi to Sangkhlaburi (4-5 hr), from where you can continue by pick-up truck (30-40 min, departures hourly). There is the option of taking a bus directly from Kanchanaburi to Three Pagodas Pass.
From Myanmar: the nearest town is Payathonzu, however foreigners can only get there using the border crossing from Thailand. The border crossing at Three Pagodas Pass is in a state of flux, but was reopened in 2010. As of Jan 2012 it was open to Thai citizens, but not to foreigners.

## Get around

At the final songthaew stop, either walk (head for the Three Pagodas and then turn right) or take a motorbike to the border (you will be very limited in what you'll be able to visit without a motorbike).
At the Thai border, you need a photocopy of your passport and 2 passport photos; your passport will be held at the checkpoint, and you must return on the same day. At the Myanmar checkpoint, you need US$10 or 500 baht. Thus, it's best to change some baht to US$ before leaving Kanchanaburi. There are no banks here; the nearest (Siam Commercial Bank) is back in Sangkhlaburi. You need US$ only for the Myanmar entry permit. Once in Myanmar, Thai baht is accepted for everything else.
You will not receive any passport stamps (neither Thai exit or entry stamps, nor Myanmar entry or exit stamps), hence this border crossing cannot be used for "visa runs".
Back at the border, your passport will be returned and you can head back the same way you came.

## See

The Thai side of the pass consists of the three smallish chedi, a couple of shrines, a market oriented around Burmese goods (carved wood, gems, textiles), and the border gate to Myanmar.
In Myanmar you can take a look at a few temples as well as a market. None is really in any way very special. However there is one temple that is up on a hill, from where you get a great view across the border.

## Buy

Burmese wooden furniture, jade carvings, and textiles are popular purchases.

## Eat

On the way from Sangkhlaburi there is a concrete bridge. Down to the right is a small restaurant on the river. There is also another restaurant on the roadside just past this on the right hand side that does meals for around 50 baht per plate.

## Stay safe

The area around the pass has occasionally been the site of skirmishes between the Burmese Army and various Karen and Mon rebel groups. Any such activity will mean that the pass is closed, so risk to tourists is non-existent.

## Go next

There are only two ways: either back to Kanchanaburi or by crossing the border to Payathonzu in Myanmar.
