#thailandtrip My train ride from River Kwai Bridge Station to Thamkrasae Station was a thought-provoking experience. As I chugged along the infamous Death Railway, I felt a mix of emotions - sadness, reverence, and gratitude. The scenic Thai countryside contrasted starkly with the somber history of the railway, built during WWII at the cost of countless lives. I couldn't help but reflect on the sacrifices made by prisoners of war and civilians who toiled to build this very track. The ride was a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of war and the importance of remembering the past.

Recently, Thailand has waived visa requirements, and besides popular cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket, a small city located 100 kilometers from Bangkok has also come into everyone's view. 🌟 The entire province doesn't have an airport✈️, and the railway🚞 is only half-completed, yet this place has been rated as a top destination by 'Lonely Planet'. This place is Kanchanaburi, and there are two ways to get there. 1⃣️ Train🚂 Bangkok Thonburi Station—Namtok Station Tickets can be purchased upon arrival at the station There are two trains daily at 7:55/13:55, costing 100🐷/person No air conditioning, no fixed seats, offering a chance to experience the rural scenery, suitable for travelers with plenty of time Bangkok Thonburi—(3.5h)—Kanchanaburi City Center—River Kwai Bridge Saphan Kwae Yai—Death Railway Thamkra Sae 2⃣️ Bus🚌 From Bangkok Mochit Station, take a Mini Van with flexible times and frequent services, costing 130🐷/person Air-conditioned and more comfortable, suitable for travelers with limited time Kanchanaburi town is not large, and the attractions are relatively concentrated.
