Where to go around Bangkok? Experience the most terrifying Death Railway!

The Death Railway, like a wound forgotten in the depths of time, silently left a mark of history on the banks of the Kwai River. During World War II, Japan built a railway to connect Bangkok, Thailand and Yangon, Myanmar. The railway, which was originally expected to be completed in 6 years, was completed in only 17 months by forcing Allied prisoners of war to take high risks of death. The 415-kilometer steel dragon crosses mountains and cliffs, winding in the dense tropical rainforest. The cruel past is hidden under every inch of track and sleeper of this railway. Near Tham Kra Sae Station, this famous railway along the way, on both sides is a cliff, and on the other side is the rushing water of the Kwai River. Take a slow train and slowly move along the "Death Railway". The rhythm of the train is soothing, the old seats in the carriage are slightly shaking, accompanied by a rhythm that is not slow, and crosses the smoke of history. The car window is open, and the outside air is filled with a moist tropical atmosphere. The wind that comes on the face sweeps over the skin, mixed with the fragrance of rice fields and jungles, as if awakening a distant and long-lost memory. ❤️ Kanchanaburi Death Railway and Slow Train Travel Tips The slow train on the "Death Railway" usually has three trains running between Bangkok and Kanchanaburi. The specific time is as follows: Morning shift: Departure time: 07:50 Depart from Hua Lamphong Station in Bangkok. Arrival time: about 10:25 Arrive in Kanchanaburi. Noon shift: Departure time: 13:55 Depart from Bangkok. Arrival time: about 16:19 Arrive in Kanchanaburi. Afternoon shift (last shift): Departure time: 15:15 Depart from Kanchanaburi to the southern terminal Nam Tok Station. Arrival time: about 18:30 Arrive. Different time periods bring different experiences. The last train can enjoy the beautiful scenery in the soft light in the evening. If you choose this train, you can experience the Kwai River Bridge and the scenery along the way under the sunset. 📸Photo suggestion: Best shooting point: Tham Kra Sae Bridge on the Thai-Myanmar border, which is the most dangerous railway section, with steep mountains on one side and cliffs on the other, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Kwai River. The slow train slows down here, prepare the camera to capture this rare moment. Kwai River Bridge: It is recommended to go in the early morning or dusk, the light is soft and the color is rich, and you can take more layered photos.
