Really moving day. Walking across the Bridge on the River Kwai and then riding the Death Railway train was intense. The guide explained everything well, and the visit to the JEATH War Museum was very insightful.
Seeing the Bridge on the River Kwai in person and understanding its history was a powerful experience. The views along the Kwai River are beautiful too.

A long day trip from Bangkok but worth it. The war cemeteries were very sobering. Lunch was pretty basic but fine for the price.
