Kanchanaburi, Thailand | World War II historical sites, Bridge over the River Kwai, Thai-Burma Railway

Kanchanaburi is about three hours’ drive from Bangkok. Two of the major attractions are the Thai-Burma Railway and the Bridge over the River Kwai 1️⃣ Thai-Myanmar Railway The railway connecting Thailand and Myanmar was built during World War II The railway that originally took 6 years to build was completed in just 17 months Due to the high number of deaths, it is also called the Death Railway. The train is old and has no air conditioning. If you start from Bangkok, the scenery along the way is relatively simple. You can take the Bridge over the River Kwai to Tham Krasae for the most beautiful section🛤️ The most beautiful section is at Tham Krasae station. Remember to sit on the right side! The railway line built along the cliffs offers views of the river✨ You can also walk on the wooden bridge at Tham Krasae Railway Bridge. 2️⃣ Bridge over the River Kwai The original Bridge on the River Kwai was destroyed during World War II What we see now is the war reparations Japan gave to Thailand after the war There are not many trains a day. When there are no trains, you can walk on the bridge. There are many viewing platforms on both sides of the bridge for taking photos📷 When the train comes, you can stand on the observation deck and pass by the train. If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, besides the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, I want to see Thailand’s historical sites again📰 Why not spend a day in Kanchanaburi to experience the relics of World War II! 📝 【How to get there】 1️⃣ You can take a train directly from Bangkok Thonburi Railway Station to Kanchanaburi, but there are only two trains a day. 2️⃣ Join a one-day tour/charter #GlobalTravel #ThailandAttractions #Thailand #Kanchanaburi #KanchanaburiAttractions #BridgeovertheRiverKwai #
