Hello, today our review will have a historical story about this railway. If we look at it, it looks beautiful and not as scary as we thought. But who would have thought that before it became this railway, it had to be exchanged with life? We will tell you some brief information and history. (The important thing for all tourists is to respect the place and keep it clean. Do not litter.) The Death Railway was built during World War II using Allied POWs and Asian laborers who were conscripted by the Japanese army to build it as a strategic route through Burma. Currently, this route ends at Ban Tha Sao or Namtok Station, a distance from Kanchanaburi Station to Namtok Station, a distance of approximately 77 kilometers. "If you count the number of railway sleepers, the number of people and POWs who were conscripted to build this railway would die." This is the story of the historical Thai-Burma railway route, a distance of over 415 kilometers. It is the cruelty, brutality, and hardship that the POWs experienced. Until it was called "The Death Railway" By recruiting the labor of approximately 50,000 British, Australian, American, Dutch and Irish prisoners of war, and combined with more than 275,000 laborers to build a strategic railway line through Burma, which in part had to cross the Kwai Yai River. The construction this time was full of difficulties. The laying of the railway track continued until the point where a bridge across the Kwai Yai River had to be built, so a temporary wooden bridge was built. The construction was rushed, with no days off. Prisoners of war took turns 24 hours a day and soldiers were closely supervising them until the construction was completed, taking a total of 17 months.

#DeathRailway Walking on the railway, avoid the train entering the station The Thai-Burma Railway was built during World War II, connecting Bangkok, Thailand and Yangon, Myanmar. The railway passes through countless winding rivers and canyons. The difficult construction caused the death of more than 100,000 prisoners of war during the construction, so it is called the "Death Railway". The Tham Krasae Railway Bridge near Thamkra Sae Station is the most classic section of the entire Death Railway, filled with the bloody and tearful historical memories of Kanchanaburi. (The railway at this station has steep cliffs and a sandbar with beautiful river views of the River Kwai, which is very beautiful at dusk) It is similar to the Mianyue Line railway in Alishan, Taiwan, with cliffs beside the railway, but it has sandbar river views that the Mianyue Line does not have.

Here's how to get to Kanchanaburi, Thailand, from Bangkok for 500 yen while stopping off at tourist attractions♪ If you're going to Kanchanaburi, where you can see Erawan Falls and other attractions, I recommend the "Thailand-Burma Railway Journey" Time passes slowly and the journey is fun. Get on the train from Thonburi Station in Bangkok🚞 •Approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes to Kanchanaburi •Approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes to Tham Krasae Don't get off at Kanchanaburi, but make sure to go all the way to Nam Tok😉 You can walk on the tracks at the "Tham Krasae Pier". On the way, you'll pass close to the cliffs along the Kwai Noi River, but when crossing this pier, you'll turn slowly at 5km per hour. The scenery is so beautiful, it feels like you're looking through a train window from anywhere in the world. ✨ The train fare is 100 baht (about 500 yen) and you can get to Tham Krasae. 🎵 Don't just travel, enjoy the train journey. 🤗 ⚠️This route only runs twice a day! Check the time before you go! #Transportation-related information

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 🌟

The purpose of this trip to Kanchanaburi was to ride the Death Railway. When we arrived in the evening, we checked into our accommodation. Then we asked a shop near the train station what time the train to Sai Yok Waterfall was. We got the answer at 10:00 and returned at 3:00. The next day, when we woke up, we looked for delicious coffee near the train station. Then we got on the train. The atmosphere was great and there were many tourists. It was just like wanting to travel. Then we sat back and ate happily on the train. #Missingnature

I took a day trip to Tham Krasae Bridge in Kanchanaburi Province on the Thai-Burma Railway. For foreigners, it costs 100 baht one way. It takes about four hours one way, but there are frequent sales on the train, so you don't have to worry if you get hungry. At Tham Krasae Bridge, you can see the wooden railway bridge built by the Japanese army. *Not available when trains are passing through. For a day trip, you will depart from Thonburi Station at 7:30 and return to Thonburi after 18:00. #Thai-Burma-Railway #ThailandTrip #Bangkok
