From the first photo, you can see how excited I am😘☺️ I bravely stuck my head out of the train despite the waterfall❗❗❗ Bangkok to Kanchanaburi Kanchanaburi is located 129km west of Bangkok. Kanchanaburi in Thailand has become a popular tourist destination due to the Bridge on the River Kwai, which is rich in historical significance. The vibrant colors captured by the train passing through are stunning, and many tourists, including myself, go crazy taking rare railway scenery photos by sticking their heads out of the windows🤣😆 I even got sprayed by the waterfall❗️ Riding the Thai-Burma Railway for an hour, walking on a bridge with such historical significance is truly overwhelming. This bridge reflects the scenes of World War II: back then, the Japanese army occupied the Thai border and forced Allied prisoners of war to build a railway connecting Burma and Siam. This railway was completed at the cost of countless precious lives, hence the name "Death Railway." The Bridge on the River Kwai is a part of it, known as the throat of the "Death Railway." Walking on the last section of the bridge has some height differences, so be careful not to step into the gaps😂

#railway Arriving in Kanchanaburi, 122 kilometers northwest of Bangkok, I visited the famous Bridge on the River Kwai. This bridge across the River Kwai is not only a spectacular building, but also carries a profound history during World War II. During those difficult years, the Japanese army forced Allied prisoners of war to build a railway connecting Thailand and Burma. This route was called the "Death Railway" because countless workers died during the construction process🛤️. Walking to the tracks on the Bridge on the River Kwai, I can feel the heavy history it carries. Standing on the bridge, overlooking the rushing river, I can't help but feel a lot of emotions in my heart🌊. I walked on the bridge and imagined the workers who struggled to survive. I was in awe of the sad stories they left on this land🙏. There are also some monuments and museums nearby, which introduce the history and construction process of the "Death Railway" in detail, which gave me a deeper understanding of this history📚. Shortly after crossing the bridge, I saw a sign in Chinese directing me to go downstairs to find the local vendors selling Burmese goods. The atmosphere here is different from what is described in the movie. There are many shops around and there are many floating restaurants on the river bank. The environment is elegant🍽️. Sitting in the floating restaurant, I tasted authentic Thai food, paired with slightly bitter Bangkok beer, which made me feel happy🍻.

After some research, we learned that it has historical importance. During World War II, the Japanese army occupied Thailand and Burma and spent 17 months building this railway with prisoners of war, connecting Thailand and Burma. At the entrance, there are many stalls selling food, drinks, clothes, hats, and souvenirs. Including photo time, about half an hour is enough to visit. 15:00 Kanchanaburi Wildlife Sanctuary Kanchanaburi Zoo + Giraffe Photo Session, 1550 THB per person.

When the bus reaches the animal area, it will stop, and you can open the windows to feed the animals. Along the way, there are antelope, tigers, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and camels. Before entering the tiger, lion, and leopard areas, the driver will ensure all windows are closed to prevent any danger. You cannot open the windows during this part of the tour. After the tour, it's time for the giraffe photo session! The staff will help take photos and videos. They provide two baskets of carrots, and when the carrots are finished, the photo session ends. We took photos together, and the staff took many shots and videos for us. We ended up with thousands of photos in about 10 minutes. The last stop: The Village Farm to Cafe We arrived around 4 PM. No reservation was needed. The exterior is barn-style, and the interior is spacious with many seats. There are many green plants and large floor-to-ceiling windows, giving a forest-like feel.

The Bridge on the River Kwai was built during World War II as part of the Japanese military’s railway route from Nong Pla Duk Junction Station, Ban Pong District, Ratchaburi Province to Thanbyuzayat City, Burma. In some parts of the railway route, the bridge had to be built over deep and rapid water. The Japanese army chose to build the bridge over the Kwai Yai River at Ban Tha Makham (at that time it was called Ban Tha Ma Kham), Tambon Tha Makham, Mueang District, Kanchanaburi Province, because the ground below was dense. At first, it was built as a temporary wooden bridge, 100 meters away from the current bridge. It took 3 months to build. Later, it was built as a permanent steel bridge by assembling steel from Malaya. The tracks were laid by British prisoners of war. The bridge is 300 meters long and has 11 sections with concrete piers. It was officially opened on December 25, 1943. Later in November 1944, during the war, the Bridge on the River Kwai was attacked by Allied soldiers with heavy bombing until the bridge broke in the middle. Later, Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945. #Places to visit near Bangkok #Places to visit in Kanchanaburi #Kanchanaburi #Bridge on the River Kwai

📍Death Railway•River Kwai Bridge River Khwae Bridge สะพานข้ามแม่น้ำแคว The "Death Railway" in Kanchanaburi, Thailand is located in the center of Kanchanaburi, about a three-hour drive from Bangkok. The "Death Railway" was built by Japan during World War II in order to occupy Burma and connect Thailand and Burma. The reason why this railway is called "Death" is that more than 100,000 prisoners of war were sacrificed in the construction of the railway. It would have taken six years to complete the construction of the railway, but under the oppression of the Japanese army, it was completed in only 17 months. The Bridge over the River Kwai is part of the Death Railway. During World War II, the bridge was actually blown up in order to cut off the supply route to fight against the Japanese army. However, the Thai government later bought back the railway and spent many years and manpower to rebuild the bridge, trying its best to preserve its original appearance at that time. Now the "Bridge over the River Kwai" has become an important tourist attraction in Kanchanaburi Province. Visitors can walk up the bridge and watch trains passing by at a very close distance. There are many shops around for tourists to buy souvenirs, and there are also many restaurants nearby where you can dine while enjoying the scenery of the River Kwai. 💲Average cost per person: Free, no admission fee 🗺Address: Tha Ma Kham, Mueang Kanchanaburi District, Chang Wat Kanchanaburi 71000, Thailand #ThailandAttractions #Thailand #OverseasTravel #Kanchanaburi #DeathRailway #BridgeovertheRiverKwai #thailand #kanchanaburi #riverkwai

The Bridge on the River Kwai I believe everyone has heard the story of the Death Railway, right? 1 sleeper is equal to 1 life. This is an important landmark of Kanchanaburi. Take a leisurely walk. The atmosphere is nice and the wind is cool and comfortable because the highlight here is walking on the 300-meter railway. On both sides of the railway, there is a market, a prisoner of war camp market. Here, there are restaurants and small cafes by the river. There are horses to ride. During every important event, there will be events here with lots of light and sound. When walking, be careful because this is still a bridge that trains drive on. Listen to the signal, everyone. Also, people may not fall down, but things may fall. I recommend coming in the evening because it can be hot. There are a lot of foreign tourists. Let's join together.

Address - Kanchanaburi Province, never get bored when I go there Atmosphere/Location - Tiger Cave Temple This year I'm older, I can't walk up anymore, so I'd rather take the cable car. Walking down is tiring, so I stopped to eat at Saphan Na. I saw a beautiful view of Tiger Cave Temple, and the atmosphere was nice. I continued my journey to Sai Yok District, and stopped by the Korean land in Kanchanaburi (I could only look at it because there were so many people). I came back to see the bridge over the River Kwai before going to my accommodation. I'm happy to be able to travel. #VisitKanchanaburi
