    The Death Railway was built during the 2nd World War by the labor of the war prisoner and the Asian labor 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 labor used to build this railway”The Death Railway starts from Nong Pladuk station, Amphur Baanpong, Ratchaburi to Kanchanaburi crossing the Kwai Yai River to the west, passing Chedi Sam-Ong to the destination at Thanbyuzayat in Myanmar, which is 415 kilometers altogether with 37 stops. This railway was completed on 25th October 1943. During the building period, there were many labors who sacrificed their lives with sickness and by the torturing of the Japanese army. The bridge here was named “Kwai River Bridge”. This construction built a big motivation for the Japanese armies and also a big scar in the labors’ heart. The history was still unforgettable among the people’s heart.Nowadays, the Death Railway was opened for the tourists to visit. However, there are some parts that were deserted since Japan lost the war. The State Railway of Thailand has offered the Thonburi- Namtok line for the tourists who wish to visit this place and a special line Bangkok-Namtok on the weekends and holidays. The most popular point is the Kwai River Bridge and the Krasae Cave, which is a curve bridge that follows the bank of Kwai Noi River. The train stops at Krasae Cave at 1.30 p.m. The tourists can travel in advance in order to be on time to see the picture of the train arriving at this station.

Bridge over the River Kwai trip from Bangkok

Published on Dec, 2024

What a great day. From start to finish this trip was Brilliant. We were picked up at 6am from hotel and taken to the Jeath Museum by mini bus. The tour is kept to a small group for convenience and comfort when travelling. The tour Guide Rach was amazing. He was full of historical knowledge.He took pictures and videos for us all too which help us all create new memories. The boat ride and Train ride were great. These were extra but well worth it. The train was upgraded to guarantee us a seat and you got water and a cake on board. We walked on the railway at the river kwai and then again at the end. The buffet lunch was plentiful and full of choice. All in all great day out

A sobering insight into the brutality of war

Published on Nov, 2024

Informative trip which left a lasting impression of the human cost in building the railway. Our guide Rach( sorry I forgot your name) was very knowledgeable and gave lots of background information and really brought alive what the prisoners had to endure to achieve the completion of the railway in an incredibly short period of time. He was also very good at ensuring everyone was OK, had enough loo stops and didn't get lost among the crowds. Our driver was also adept at negotiating the heavy Bangkok traffic with skill and care. The trip was extremely well organised and I would highly recommend it.

The River Kwai: a Must Journey

Published on Oct, 2024

The River Kwai Tour is a must and an extraordinary journey into one of the most poignant chapters of Thailand’s history while offering picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. The tour is meticulously designed, providing a seamless blend of historical learning and immersive sightseeing. The itinerary is thoughtfully laid out to give you ample time to explore iconic landmarks like the museum, Bridge over the River Kwai, the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, and the Hellfire Pass, which serve as powerful reminders of World War II’s impact on the region. What makes this tour truly remarkable is the balance between education and leisure. You’re not just visiting these historical sites—you’re experiencing them with context, guided by meaningful insights. As you walk along the remnants of the infamous Death Railway, you gain a deeper understanding and feel of the hardships endured by the prisoners of war who were forced to build it. In addition to the historical aspects, the natural beauty of the River Kwai region is stunning. From tranquil boat rides along the river to scenic train journeys, the tour provides many opportunities to take in the lush, green landscapes that surround this historic area. The accommodations along the way are comfortable and well-situated, allowing you to relax and enjoy the serenity. This tour isn’t just about seeing famous sites; it’s about understanding their significance, feeling the weight of history, and appreciating the natural beauty of the region. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique and moving experience, the River Kwai Tour delivers on all fronts. The tour truly stands out as one of the best in Thailand. A special shout out to our guide Loungoom, who was beyond exceptional. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was deeply committed to ensuring every participant had an unforgettable and enriching experience. Loungoom has a rare gift for storytelling, bringing the history of the River Kwai to life in a way that is both educational and deeply moving. His knowledge of the region’s past is profound, and he conveys it with such clarity that you feel transported back in time. Yet, he does this with a sense of humor and ease that keeps the group engaged and entertained, never making the experience feel overwhelming. What sets Loungoom apart is his attention to detail and genuine care for the group. He was constantly checking in to ensure everyone was comfortable, answering questions with patience and enthusiasm, and adapting the itinerary to meet individual needs or preferences. Whether it was recommending the best places to take photos, helping with dietary requirements, or ensuring we had ample time at each historical site, Loungoom’s dedication to providing top-tier service was evident. Moreover, Loungoom has an incredible ability to connect with people. His warmth and kindness created a welcoming atmosphere, and it felt like we were being guided by a trusted friend rather than just a tour guide. He effortlessly handled logistics and made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. If you want a tour where history is not just recited but truly felt, Loungoom is the guide you need. His ability to teach with passion, humor, and sensitivity, while being completely approachable and accommodating, makes him one of the finest tour guides I have ever encountered. Highly recommend Loungoom for anyone visiting the River Kwai.

Death Railway train ride is a MUST DO

Published on Oct, 2023

This is a fantastic train ride with spectacular scenes from this amazing railway that cost so much to build. This is a must do experience and something you can make a day of. You can take the train to the caves were POW once bathed and to the end of the railway today were you can experience the waterfall and a place where once Australian and British POW once had there camps. This i definitely a trip to take the kids on and the train runs regular to easily get back and forth.
