Kanchanaburi is a town that is about a 2-3 hour bus/van ride from Bangkok, Thailand. It is a perfect place to get away from the city. With it's natural limestone falls and beautiful landscape you are sure to have a good time. We stayed in the city center for 2 nights and then booked a van to Erawan falls, River Kwai and the Tham Kra Sae bridge and cave.
This video was filmed in July, 2014.

The Burma Railway, also known as the Death Railway, the Burma–Siam Railway, the Thailand–Burma Railway and similar names, was a 415-kilometre (258 mi) railway between Ban Pong, Thailand, and Thanbyuzayat, Burma, built by the Empire of Japan in 1943 to support its forces in the Burma campaign of World War II. This railway completed the rail link between Bangkok, Thailand, and Rangoon, Burma (now Yangon). The line was closed in 1947, but the section between Nong Pla Duk and Nam Tok was reopened ten years later in 1957.
Between 180,000 and 250,000 Southeast Asian civilian labourers (rōmusha) and about 61,000 Allied prisoners of war were subjected to forced labour during its construction. About 90,000 civilian labourers and more than 12,000 Allied prisoners died.
A railway route between Burma and Thailand, crossing Three Pagodas Pass and following the valley of the Kwhae Noi river in Thailand, had been surveyed by the British government of Burma as early as 1885, but the proposed course of the line – through hilly jungle terrain divided by many rivers – was considered too difficult to undertake.
In early 1942, Japanese forces invaded Burma and seized control of the colony from the United Kingdom. To supply their forces in Burma, the Japanese depended upon the sea, bringing supplies and troops to Burma around the Malay peninsula and through the Strait of Malacca and the Andaman Sea. This route was vulnerable to attack by Allied submarines, especially after the Japanese defeat at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. To avoid a hazardous 2,000-mile (3,200 km) sea journey around the Malay peninsula, a railway from Bangkok to Rangoon seemed a feasible alternative. The Japanese began this project in June 1942.
Abandoned section of Burma Railway in Thanbyuzayat, Burma
The project aimed to connect Ban Pong in Thailand with Thanbyuzayat in Burma, linking up with existing railways at both places. Its route was through Three Pagodas Pass on the border of Thailand and Burma. 69 miles (111 km) of the railway were in Burma and the remaining 189 miles (304 km) were in Thailand. The movement of POWs northward from Changi prison in Singapore and other prison camps in Southeast Asia began in May 1942. After preliminary work of airfields and infrastructure, construction of the railway began in Burma on 15 September 1942 and in Thailand in November. The projected completion date was December 1943.[note 1] Most of the construction materials, including tracks and sleepers, were brought from dismantled branches of Malaya's Federated Malay States Railway network and the East Indies' various rail networks.
One of many bridges built by rōmusha and POWs on the Thai Burma railway
The railway was completed ahead of schedule. On 17 October 1943, construction gangs originating in Burma and working south met up with construction gangs originating in Thailand and working north. The two sections of the line met at kilometre 263, about 18 km (11 mi) south of the Three Pagodas Pass at Konkuita (Kaeng Khoi Tha, Sangkhla Buri District, Kanchanaburi Province).
The Burma railway was an impressive accomplishment. As an American engineer said after viewing the project, What makes this an engineering feat is the totality of it, the accumulation of factors. The total length of miles, the total number of bridges — over 600, including six to eight long-span bridges — the total number of people who were involved (one-quarter of a million), the very short time in which they managed to accomplish it, and the extreme conditions they accomplished it under. They had very little transportation to get stuff to and from the workers, they had almost no medication, they couldn’t get food let alone materials, they had no tools to work with except for basic things like spades and hammers, and they worked in extremely difficult conditions — in the jungle with its heat and humidity. All of that makes this railway an extraordinary accomplishment.
The total freight carried during the war was 500,000 tonnes by two Japanese Army divisions.
The line was closed in 1947, but the section between Nong Pla Duk and Nam Tok was reopened ten years later in 1957.

Bridge over the River Kwai
Just a point to note the river Kwai wasn't/isn't the river Kwai, its the river Mae Khlung. Because of the book that was written, people really wanted to see the Bridge over the river Kwai, so i 1960 it was renamed the Kwae Yai.
I know the music to this slideshow is a little upbeat, and to be fair I didn't want something mournful (not that I am in any way irreverent) but I think i wanted to give a feel of a better place now, after all it does attract some 5 million tourists every year. Kanchan is a thriving and busy town.
I hope you enjoy having a look around

Tham Krasae Wooden Bridge Kanchanaburi
Tham Krasae Wooden Bridge in Kanchanaburi is one of the most popular tourist attractions related to the WWII. It is a part of the Death Railway which was built by the prisoners of war. This part of the railway was difficult to built because one side is the high cliff and the other side is a river. Many prisoners died during the construction. Now a days, the railway is still in use. The last station in Kanchanaburi is at Nam Tok Station. (This video was taken on 21st of May, 2019)

Wampo Viaduct Thailand | Tham Krasae Bridge | Bridge Over The River Kwai
If you want to enjoy a wonderful journey along with awe-inspiring view, travel Tham Krasae Bridge through train and explore the natural beauty. Have a look at
The Wampo tiered viaduct constructed along the edge of the Khwae Noi River. A diesel train passes over the extended trestle railway bridge is usually known as the Wampo viaduct. The two main segments of the bridge followed the base of the cliff for some distance. A protrusion had to be made of the cliff face to shape a bottom for the viaduct and embankment construction. The viaduct includes wooden trestles beside the river, snuggling against the cliff side.
Wampo viaduct Thailand was constructed by prisoners of war, and also used by regular passenger trains. The best way to enjoy this journey is to take a train from River Kwae Bridge station or Kanchanaburi to Nam Tok. Experience the beauty, view it skywards and downwards. This complete journey will definitely make you feel moved when you read about the history of this railway track.
Stand still in the middle of Wampo viaduct track and just listen. You will love the breeze, sounds of trees and water steam. It is simply an awesome journey. See how this journey runs at Plan it soon!!!
The Wampo viaduct is between Kanchanaburi and Nam Tok on the Burma railway which was largely constructed by POWs during the Second World War.
