It was pretty cool to get on the train and ride across the old wooden bridge and through the countryside. It put a new perspective on the history of the railroad and on Thai life. Really cool.

Arriving at Kanchanaburi, I’m not ripped off by the taxi driver and he takes me to a local guest-house.

The sheer scale of the countryside and the jungle contrast with the enormous task of building a bridge over the River. Awesome.
Great day chugging up the railway, no a/c, dont let it put you off. Great experience all windows open! Do not book tour to do this, 100baht one way amd very easy to get tickets! Go all the way to nam tok at the end of railway, great view amd lovely waterfalls to visit, when yOu get off the train...

I had heard a lot about the Death Railway over the years but never fully understood the tragedy that was committed in getting it completed. Only when one sees it in reality can you understand what the attrocities that the POW's and local workers were subjected too to complete this railway line. A stark reminder of man's inhumanity toward man.
