Tour
Fascinating, nostalgic and memorable sums up this day

of the 'Death Railway' which lies some 1 mile outside town are a
poignant reminder of the thousands of POW’s and forced laborers who lost
their lives in the Second World War. This trip has it all and is the
ultimate tour in Bangkok!
Fascinating, nostalgic and memorable sums up this day tour to the
Kanchanaburi province. The province itself is an agricultural area. Sugar cane,
rice paddies and pineapple plantations are all part of the landscape, which in
many areas is quite stunning.
The famous bridge and the beginning of the 'Death Railway' which lies some 1
mile outside town are a poignant reminder of the thousands of POW’s and forced
laborers who lost their lives in the Second World War. A visit will be made to
one of the Allied War Grave cemeteries (often an emotional experience) before
visiting the JEATH war museum, which houses pictures and paintings from this
period. An exhilarating long tailed speed boat ride will then take you down
river to the famous bridge itself where you have ample time to explore at your
own leisure. A ride on a local train is also included before returning to
Bangkok city. |
