Located about 130 km west of Bangkok, Kanchanaburi can be reached in several ways but the most comfortable and flexible option is traveling by private car with a driver.

Travel Options to Kanchanaburi

By Train

The Death Railway has a long history since the Second World War,beginning at Nong Pladuk Station to Thanbyusayat in Burma. The railway construction began with death because they had to rush to construct. There were obstacles such as diseases, illnesses, weathers, food, shelter, suffered living and hard work which has been entitled as “the Death Railway”

Dangerous curve railway bridge or Krasae cave bridge

Dangerous curve railway bridge or Krasae cave bridge is the railway along the Khwae river, Sai YOK District. The railway construction around this area was difficult because it has been surrounded with steep mountains and bordered by the Khwae Noi river which is the 400-meter long through mountains and about 10 meters higher than the river.During constructing, 2000 captives, foreign alborens and Thai workers had to use a rope to tie their Waist and hung down to extract stones to make railroad tracks along the cliff for using hardwood to support stability. The structure eas made entirely of wood. The foundation pier was made from a large piece of hardwood without using any wood joints support the train weight. It was incredibly finished constructing in only 17 days.

The Death Railway Kanchanaburi

The time for laying of the rail was limited and urgent. As result, When first train journey launched, the Japanese train fell into the Khwae Noi river caused thost who traveled by that journey died. If we count all of dead man combine with all captives, foreign laborers and Thai workers, we would imply that “One life of them exchanged to one Railway sleeper”
