Because of a lot of attractions here, so we have to depart Bangkok early about 6.30 A.M. to take 2 hours driving to hit there.
Firstly, we will visit the War Cemetary where endless rows of war graves mark the resting places of 6,982 of those allied soldiers. As the incidents which occured in World War 2 have recently and quite by chance led to the discovery of neolithic burial sites in the region, it was from here that the Japanese put the Allied prisonersof war to work to construct 415 km. of railway leading to the three pagodas pass at the MyanMar border. It is estimated that 100,000 oppressed labourers as well as 16,000 Allied prisoners of war lost their lives due to beatings, starvation, overwork and malaria when constructing the railroad.
After visiting this worth place, we head to walk along the Death Railway at the Bridge of the River Kwai. The original one is no longer exist, and the present one is for railway use and allow people and motorbike to cross. I'm sure that walking on this railway is one of the exciting thing to do.
The Bridge of the River Kwai is the world famous from the 7 Oscars Hollywood film in 1957, including Best Actor (William Holden) and Best Director( David Lean).
