Natural wonders of Kanchanaburi Province · Thai-Burma Railway

Kanchanaburi is located in western Thailand, about 128 kilometers from Bangkok. It extends westward to the Myanmar border. The most representative Kanchanaburi attraction, the "Bridge over the River Kwai", is the railway connecting Thailand and Myanmar, the "Thai-Myanmar Railway" 🚂 The 415-kilometer railway was completed on October 17, 1943. It is conceivable that the project was extremely difficult. More than 100,000 civilian laborers and prisoners of war died. It is said that they died of excessive fatigue, malnutrition or even infectious diseases. Some died in Allied air raids, so it was named the "Death Railway". 👻 Kanchanaburi Province has stunning natural scenery and is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Thailand. Here, you can explore the world-famous "Thai-Burma Railway" with a long history in Hetan and visit the stunning historical sites. 🕰️The railway is hollow underneath, so you have to be extra careful with every step, especially when brushing against tourists coming from the opposite direction, you really have to stand firmly. As I am afraid of heights, I really don't dare to go forward. 😱 In addition, there are spectacular waterfalls, ancient temples and stunning natural landscapes waiting for you to explore. Whether you are wandering in the lush green nature or experiencing the local history and culture, Kanchanaburi Province will bring you a rich and colorful travel experience. 🤩 Address: Railway Museum, 73 Chao Khun Nen Rd, Ban Nuea, Mueang Kanchanaburi District, Kanchanaburi 71000 Thailand Rating: 4 / 5 🌟
