Overview

  • We depart Bangkok at 06:30, arriving before the crowds. The morning belongs to history: the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, where nearly 7,000 Allied POWs lie buried in immaculate rows; the JEATH War Museum, a replica POW hut filled with photographs, personal letters, and the brutal arithmetic of the Death Railway; and the Bridge over the River Kwai — the actual bridge, walkable, with the possibility of watching the historic train cross overhead.
    The afternoon belongs to Erawan National Park. After a sit-down lunch at a riverside restaurant, you have three full hours at the seven-tiered Erawan Waterfalls — enough time to reach the upper tiers, swim in the emerald pools, and return at your own pace. No rushing. No group waiting for you at the gate.

The Death Railway was built during the 2nd World War by the labour of the war prisoner and the Asian labour forced by the Japanese troop. During that time, Thailand was the alliance of Japan and also gave a big support to the Japanese army. The Death Railway was a route to pass Myanmar and to invade India. Japan was aware that by using the sea troop to fight with England, their armies would be attacked by the alliances. From this reason, they decided to build this railway. The railway was named after the event in the history. There is a saying that “the numbers of the railway, is equal to the numbers of the death labour used to build this railway” .
