THAILAND KANCHANABURI. THE BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI #THAILAND
Geoff Carter takes you over the Bridge of the River Kwai
in Kanchanaburi Thailand. During WW II, Japan constructed the meter-gauge railway line from Ban Pong, Thailand to Thanbyuzayat, Burma. The line passing through the scenic Three Pagodas Pass runs for 250 miles. This is now known as the Death Railway.
The railway line was meant to transport cargo daily to India, to back up their planned attack on India. The construction was done using POWs and Asian slave laborers in unfavorable conditions. The work started in October 1942 was completed in a year. Due to the difficult terrain, thousands of laborers lost their lives. It is believed that one life was lost for each sleeper laid in the track.
At the nearby Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, around 7,000 POWs, who sacrificed their lives in the railway construction, are buried. Another 2,000 are laid to rest at the Chungkai Cemetery.
Allied Forces bombed the iron bridge in 1944. Three sections of Bridge River Kwai were destroyed. The present bridge has two of its central spans rebuilt. The original parts of the bridge are now displayed in the War Museum.
The Bridge River Kwai became famous all over the world, when it was featured in movies and books. The cliff-hugging tracks and the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains and valleys are well captured in the David Lean movie.
Bridge River Kwai is a tourist destination now. The track is developed into a walkway with side platforms. This allows crossing the railway bridge on foot. These platforms are useful as viewpoints and for avoiding trains. A small tourist train runs back and forth across the bridge.
Every year, River Kwai Bridge Festival is organized to mark the Allied bombing on November 28, 1944. Spectacular light and sound show is the highlight of the festival.
Hope you enjoyed this short movie.

RIPPED OFF BY 20.000?! Hitchhiking in Myanmar | VLOG | Sofian Worldwide #27
Myanmar 2018: Part two of our trip from Hpa-an to the south of Myanmar to Dawei - hitchhiking! In this video you can see how we made it to our destination, or maybe not?
We spent the night in Thanbyuzayat. The guest house where we stayed overnight was not allowed to accommodate us, because the owner has no license for foreigners. Nevertheless, she offered us a room for 10.000 kyat (about 6€ or 7,5$). Unfortunately, we don't know the name because we were looking for a place to sleep late at night.
We went on with our hitchhiking tour! How did we hitchhike through Myanmar?
From Thanbyuzayat we got a free ride in a car to Ye. That's the way it was supposed to be. The driver, however, asked for 20,000 kyat each at the end of the trip, which shocked us a lot, and we made it very clear to him that this behaviour was inappropriate. (I put it very nicely here:) ) Of course, we didn't pay this amount and just got out of the car.
From Ye a wonderful family took us on their truck. A very slow but also very pleasant ride! After another ride in a small van and a big truck we crossed a national border within Myanmar. We left Mon State and entered the Tanintharyi region. We crossed the border without any problems. We had to show our passport and tell them which city we had as our destination. That's it! Even hitchhiking in a truck was no problem!
Afterwards we arrived in Yapu, respectively were dropped out. It seemed to me that this village has never seen a foreigner before. The children all ran out of their homes, watched us, laughed, waved at us and when we responded, they ran away laughing - a very nice experience! After another ride in a truck we arrived at the destination of today's video, Kaleinaung! We didn't make it to Dawei!
Is there a guest house in Kaleinaung?
Yes! And exactly one, and that has a foreigner's license! :)
It was a really impressive and eventful day in Myanmar! Hitchhiking through Myanmar is really that much fun! We met very nice people and got to know them in a very small space. The people in Myanmar are helpful, except for this one guy, and if you can make it clear to them that you are looking for a free ride, you will have very nice memories!

Maenamkwai Road, Kanchanaburi
A drive from East to West along the Maenamkwai road. Starting at the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre and parking just beyond Duan Restaurant. Duan Restaurant, in England Road, near the Sud Chai, the road to the road bridge. A good place to stop for a cold drink or to eat. You can ask for what you want to eat. Although this is the place to go for authentic non tourist food, requests for Thai food or an omelette with French Fries or Rice French Fries would not be a problem.

1. Maeklong Railway Market, Thailand
This charming old world railway market is located a few kilometres away from Bangkok, and it takes about 90 minutes to get to this Southwestern market by minivan.The main highlight of this market is that a live train runs down the middle of the market.
A warning bell sounds before the train comes, allowing the stall vendors to scurry to pull back their umbrella shelters before the train comes. Everything is so well designed that the train runs by barely touching the produce and merchandise placed on the rail by the stall vendors.
2. Gokteik Viaduct, Myanmar
The Goteik viaduct also known as Gohteik viaduct is a railway trestle in Nawnghkio, western Shan State, Myanmar (also known as Burma).
The bridge is between the two towns of Pyin Oo Lwin, the summer capital of the former British colonial administrators of Burma, and Lashio, the principal town of northern Shan State. It is the highest bridge in Myanmar and when it was completed, the largest railway trestle in the world.
The bridge is located approximately 100 km northeast of Mandalay.

ALMOST DIED & SLEPT ON THE STREET | Myanmar VLOG | Sofian Worldwide #26
Myanmar 2018: after about three great days in Hpa-an, it now takes us to the south of Myanmar. Through a conversation with a local, we were recommended to travel to Dawei, where we were told to expect incredible things. A beautiful place without tourists or hardly tourists? That sounds like a place where I want to be as soon as possible! Join me on this adventure!
It is also an adventure because we decided to hitchhike the whole way by hitchhiking! And like in this video we have never been to Myanmar before! Travelling under the awareness that it can be very dangerous and you don't know where to land and sleep at the end of the day is a real experience!
Hitchhiking in Myanmar? Hitchhiking from Hpa-an to Dawei?
For us, the trip also means crossing or travelling through two states within Myanmar with a total of 15 countries. Among them Mon State with the capital Mawlamyine and Tanintharyi Division. Hitchhiking through Mon State and the Tanintharyi region? Does that work? Let's see what will happen in the next few videos. In any case, stick to it, don't miss it! The plan is to get to Dawei somehow, but we didn't know what would happen by then.
The story about the Local Bus at the beginning of the video:
Why I want to tell the story has the following reason. We have found that hitchhiking through Myanmar is not usual, especially for locals. Tramping within cities is almost impossible, as there is hardly any way to make drivers aware of the fact that they are trampling and want to get a ride.
So what did we do? We left the city of Hpa-an on foot, and when we arrived at the city limits, it worked directly with the hitchhiking.
At least we thought so. We were picked up on the highway by three brothers, I think, with the understanding that they're taking us to the next town. After about 4 km we turned off from the highway into a settlement, which turned out to be the home of the three brothers. We thought they might just have to pick up something and then it would go on. After about 10 minutes we were called to dinner. So their mother had cooked food for us. By the way, a really super nice family! After we had eaten, we already drove on. At least we thought so. Arriving on the highway we were let out about 200 meters further with one of the three brothers. The other two said goodbye and left by car.
What's the matter now, are you wondering? Since we didn't know what their plan was, we waited about half an hour at this place. And suddenly the brother walked across the street because of loud honking.
It was a local bus we've been waiting for all this time! The three brothers thought that we were waiting for a bus on the highway, because our hand signal for hitchhiking was probably not understood as hitchhiking. So you helped us, invited us to dinner and organized a bus! So we couldn't say no to this bus, which didn't cost us 1,000 kyat from Hpa-an to the capital Mawlamyine.
Crazy right? The event showed us that, on the one hand, communication as a foreigner in some places in Myanmar can be very difficult, but the people of Myanmar are really kind and helpful, even if they did not understand directly what our real plan was.
