V-Blog #11 (River Kwai and Erawan Waterfalls, Kanchanaburi, Thailand)
This is a simple but amazing 1-Day Tour in the jungle of Thailand.
We took a Grab Taxi to Kanchanaburi, it took us about 3h to get there from Bangkok and was very cheap. We then had a nice dinner, booked a 1-day tour for the next day and slept in a nice hotel near the river Kwai.
The next morning we were picked up at the Hotel, went to the bridge of river Kwai that was built in World War ll, had a nice little history lesson from our guide and then a great day hiking in the jungle up the Waterfall, swimming and later a short ride by train.
We were back in Bangkok around 21:00 pm same day.
Please do not ride elephants!

KANCHANABURI Day 1 | Best things to see and do | Death Railway | Sai Yok Waterfall
Follow my travels to kanchanaburi! It's my first time exploring this area. Here are some of the best things to see and do and eat!
What to do in KANCHANABURI - a Travel Diary!
Kanchanaburi is Thailand's 3rd largest province, home to some of the most important history in the entire country (possibly even the world) and yet it's hardly spoken about.
The Bridge On The River Kwai is probably the most famous tourist attraction in Kanchanaburi, but holds truer to being the most central point of history. More accurately the Khwae-Yai river, the bridge was constructed during the infamous Japanese Death Railway (Burma Railway) that tore across the country during World War II.
As a focal point for a world-famous film, there are some common inaccuracies that have set root into our believed history - suffice it to say, the conditions were a lot worse than we initially believed.
Walking over the bridge is an unparalleled experience; something that we had wanted to do for many years and it was as moving and surreal as we'd imagined.
Not only this, but we also made our way to Hellfire Pass or Konyu Cutting, one of the most notorious (if not the most notorious) sections of the Death Railway construction. Working 18 hours a day with barley any food or water until death set it's grip upon thousands of Prisoner's of War brought infamy to this stretch of the railway.
Hellfire pass garnered it's name from the sight of worn prisoners working away by torchlight, reminiscent of a scene from hell.
Kanchanaburi was definitely not an adventure that filled us with excitement, joy and wonder - but rather set us back to humility, immense gratitude and a sense of reality. We loved it.

Train from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi
The train to Kanchanaburi from Bangkok leaves from the Thonburi Station, a much smaller station than Hualamphong and located on the other side of the Chao Phraya river.
The train leaves Bangkok at 0745 and arrives in Kanchanaburi at 1025. It is an all Third Class train and the fare is 100 baht. The train is quite basic but comfortable enough for the short journey. The seats at least have padding and the carriages are quite clean although the toilet facilities are perhaps best describes as 'use only if you really can't wait'.
The train stops at several small stations along the way with food vendors getting on and off to sell their wares to passengers. The passing scenery is quite pleasant although the outskirts of Bangkok are perhaps more interesting than pleasant.
The train arrived right on time. The Station is located quite centrally, about 1 Km from the River Kwai Hotel. The train continues on to the Station right on the Bridge over the River Kwai and then on to the water fall along the original tracks laid by the Japanese during the 1940s.
Weekend in Kanchanaburi
Today the provincial town of Kanchanaburi is busy and modern, but the WWII memorials and museums are a reminder of darker times. Japanese forces used Allied prisoners of war (POWs) and conscripted Asian laborers to build a rail route to Myanmar.
The harrowing story became famous after a fictional tale, based loosely on the real events, was told in Pierre Boulle’s book The Bridge Over the River Kwai and the 1957 movie based on the book. Roads east of the bridge are named after countries involved in the conflict.
Because so many of the parks and historic sites in the surrounding countryside are easily accessible, Kanchanaburi is an ideal base for exploring some of Thailand's wild west.

Senses of Thainess
River Kwai - Relaxation at the Beautiful Floating Jungle Rafts!
The River Kwai is a beautiful river with a brutal history. Spending time relaxing on the River Kwai is an incredibly peaceful experience, more here -
I had the opportunity to go on a media blogger trip to the Kanchanaburi province of Thailand. Along with doing some activities like visiting the bridge over the River Kwai and going to Hellfire Pass museum, the highlight of the trip was most definitely the stay at the River Kwai Jungle Rafts, a floatel in the middle of the river. To get there you first have to board a longtail boat and take the boat upstream for about 15 minutes until arriving. The day we went it was a little rainy, but that didn't take away from the beauty of cruising up the river. The water is a little chocolate brown, but the lush green cliffs and the steep walls of the banks of the river made the entire atmosphere extremely gorgeous.
We arrived to the River Kwai Jungle Rafts, a true relaxing oasis surrounded only by the beautiful sounds of the jungle. The room was basic, but very comfortable. They don't have any power at the rafts, so all light is handled by kerosene lantern, which I thought could potentially be a little dangerous with the wooden rafts - nevertheless, that's what they used. The jungle rafts are a long series of floating houses that float on huge floaters. On top of the floaters and beautifully constructed wooden houses which are then covered by thatch roofing. The rooms are clean and there's a nice balcony on both the front and the back of the rooms where you can sit and watch the River Kwai peacefully go by.
After settling in to our room and shooting a little bit of this video, we headed for dinner, which is served table by table family style. The food is served from the main dining room which was located next to the lobby. Unfortunately the food was a little on the bland side as it really catered to foreign travelers, but nevertheless, it was pretty good and it included a good mixture of different dishes. I would have been a little more pleased had the food been a little more Mon traditional, but that's alright. After dinner we were invited to watch a traditional dance and music performance put on by local students from the surrounding village. It was a nice performance that lasted for about an hour. It's a good thing they provided entertainment, or I would have been asleep immediately after eating dinner - the River Kwai Jungle Rafts are so peaceful and calm, there's nothing to do but sleep, especially at night when there's no light. After the performance, I headed off to our room, got ready for bed, and was sleeping by about 8:30 pm.
The next day I woke up to take a short walk into the small Mon village, which was very touristy, even containing small boutique shops selling souvenirs. Unfortunately, they've become quite touristy, so it's not the most authentic experience. I preferred the River Kwai and just swimming and relaxing and the floatel jungle rafts. We then had breakfast, consisting of some fried eggs, ham, potatoes, toast, and coffee. After breakfast at 7:30 am each day, they bring by a few elephants for breakfast. The effort is probably to get customers to ride the elephants later in the day, but you can also just watch them without any obligation.
My stay at the River Kwai Jungle Rafts was sponsored, but I can say that overall I had a great time. The village is a little touristy, so if you're looking for an authentic cultural experience, it's not the best. But it's really amazing for the gorgeous natural scenery of the River Kwai and some extreme relaxation and swimming in the river.

Kanchanaburi Province, River Kwai Station the trip back to Bangkok, Thailand. ( 34 )
You can cross the bridge on foot. While the centre of the track has been thoughtfully turned into a steel-plated walkway and there are little side platforms between the spans for sightseeing and avoiding trains. There are guardrails, but some areas of the bridge lack them, so be careful of small children! Off the end of the bridge, you can feed or ride an elephant bare-back at negotiated price of 600 Baht per ride. At May 2010, the elephant was kept on a short chain, and had to stand in its own waste products.
As the bridge is still used locally, it is possible to take one of the trains that cross the bridge every day. The ride from Nam Tok (the train line's terminus) to River Kwai Bridge station takes a bit longer than 2 hours.
World War II
Pretty much all the sights in Kanchanaburi itself are directly related to World War II. The museums are dusty and generally not worth it, except for the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, which gives a good introduction of the Death Railway and its history. There are also two war cemeteries, the most moving of which is the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery.
Chongkai War Cemetery, (either bargain with a taxi or rent a bicycle to get there; it's at the west side of the river). A neatly maintained smaller cemetery 2 km out of town along the road that leads to Wat Thaopoom. This is the final resting place of Dutch and British forces.
Kanchanaburi War Cemetery (Don Rak), Saeng Chuto Rd (opposite the railway station), 07:00-14:00. This is the final resting place of almost 7,000 POWs who gave their life for the construction of the Death Railway to Burma. All POWs at this site are from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Australia. After World War II, the Allies decided to move all the buried POWs along the railway line to two war cemeteries in Kanchanaburi as they would be easier to maintain in a good condition. It is a sombre, yet very peaceful reminder of what went on here. The graves are set up in straight lines with neatly kept lawns. Some of the graves have a moving personal inscription. However, note that during the rainy seasons access to graves themselves may be closed to prevent damage to the grounds. If you have relatives buried there permission can be sought to enter the cemetery. An alternative is the Chong Kai cemetery which is always open. Both grounds are immaculately maintained. Free.
Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, 73 Jaokannun Rd (next to Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, near the south of Mae Nam Khae Road), ☎ +66 3 451 2721, 09:00-17:00 daily. Generally considered to be the best source of information regarding World War II in Thailand, railway construction and route, and the conditions endured by POWs and Asian labourers. Very moving exhibits, including video and interactive displays. A visit takes at least one hour, and probably longer if you want to read everything. Fee includes a free coffee or tea at upstairs cafe, where you can sit at the window bench overlooking the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery. It is a good place to sit and reflect after your tour of the centre. 120 baht. edit
World War II Museum and Art Gallery, Mae Nam Khwae Rd (about 50 m from the Bridge over the River Kwai). 08:30-17:30 daily. This well-signposted complex houses a bizarre collection of museums and exhibits, most of which are poorly maintained and labeled. To your left as you enter is the War Museum, a 4 storey building encrusted with statues, which starts off with a little Burmese shrine but is mostly devoted to pre-WW2 Thai history through the ages and is filled with wall paintings of Kings and racks of rusty pistols. There are good views of the bridge from the roof of the riverside building. Above the WW2 museum is the most bizarre section, housing (among other things) dusty stamp collections and a gallery with wall paintings of all Miss Thailand winners. The World War II and (old) JEATH Museum is lurking in the basement. 40 Baht.
JEATH War Museum, Th Pak Phraek (Adjacent to the Wat Chaichumphon temple complex 1 km south of the town centre). 08:30-18:00. The free guide leaflet concludes with these salutary words - May Peace Always Conquer Violence. Exhibits are housed in a palm hut, modelled on the kind of buildings that Death Railway POWs would have slept in. The exhibits themselves are timeworn and many have been attacked by insects and weather. It may seem a amateurish in it's style of curation. The temple complex next door is much more interesting. A cross-river boat service is available from the Jeath museum. This is the main drawcard of the World War II Museum and Art Gallery complex. It features a section of the first wooden bridge, recreations of the POW barracks and random military paraphernalia. Downstairs is an exhibit of prehistoric Thailand complete with semi-erotic murals. 40 Baht.
