Death Railway in Kachanburi! 🛤️😲

Death Railway is considered as one of the most visited destinations in Kanchanaburi for both local and foreign travellers. I have seen pictures of this place on facebook and instagram and I wanted so badly to see this place in person and I finally did! Went to see this historical site in Kanchanaburi called Death Railway. As far as I recall, the journey takes about 2 hours one way then another two going back from Nam Namtok. The tickets are available at the station 15 minutes before it arrives, however for our tickets we just paid on board a train. Such a memorable experience I had! #timetotravel

The Death Railway Bridge

The Death Railway Bridge, also known as the "Bridge on the River Kwai" after the popular film of the same name, is Kanchanaburi's most well-known historical site. During WWII, it was built with the help of British, Dutch, and American prisoners of war. The bridge was part of the Thai-Burmese "Death Railway," so named because so many men perished while it was being built. The railway would have helped supply supplies to Japanese troops battling the British in adjacent Burma, therefore development was overseen by Japanese forces. Today, you can stroll or take a train across this bridge, which still has portions of the original framework. Surrounding the location are market stalls selling food and goods. #oldarchitecture#historicculture#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Bridge over River Kwai

The bridge over river Kwai is doable on a day trip from.Bangkok and we actually rented a car from Bangkok. This was our 2ns last stop after visited Maeklong railway market and Damnoen Saduak market in the Morning. We don't stay long at the floating market as we been here bedore 18 years ago. we knew the taxi scam especially tjose getting cheap taxi from Bangkok but ended in one of the floating market pier and forced to pay ridicolous price for a long tail boat to the market #riverkwaibridge #thaiand #kanchanaburi

Death Railway Bridge during Sunset

#bucketlistreboot If you happen to be in Thailand definitely check out the Rover Kwai Bridge. From Bangkok it takes only 3 hours by bus to get there and the bus only costs 160 thai baht per person. It is a great experience to walk on the river kwai bridge and learn about the history. Many prisoners of the Japanese army died when working on the Death railway and this Bridge. The Japanese army was trying to gain control over British controlled burma. Thats why they wanted to build a railroad all the way from Japan to Burma which is called Myanmar. Another great experience is to watch the train pass by while being on the bridge

Reconnect with Nature in Kanchanaburi 🏞️

In Thailand, there are many forests and national parks. Some are not far from the capital city of Bangkok. Kanchanaburi is a province in the south west area of Thailand. It takes around three hours to get there from Bangkok by car. Getting there by train is another good option. There are a few national parks in this province and I took a one day trip to visit the Erawan National Park. Inside the park, there's a 7 levels of the famous Phu Pha Erawan or Erawan Waterfall. It took me around 45 minutes to reach the top level. The place was breathtaking. It was a great experience for me to reconnect with nature and part myself from the pollution. #fallingforfall #kanchanaburi #thailand #waterfall
