Kanchanaburi fuld dagstur: River Kwai og Erawan Falls
Beskrivelse
Efterlad den travle og travle Bangkok bag dig for en hel dag besøg i Kanchanaburi provinsen. Mens det i dag er et populært rejsemål for rejsende fra hele verden, er området dybt forbundet med den tragiske historie af Burma Railway, også kendt som Death Railway, bygget under anden verdenskrig under ekstremt hårde forhold af krigsfanger og tvangsarbejdere. Denne heldagstur tilbyder en mindeværdig kombination af historie og natur med besøg på JEATH War Museum og den berømte bro på floden Kwai, et historisk landemærke, der spænder over floden Kwai Yai. Du vil derefter fortsætte til den smukke Erawan National Park, hvor syv niveauer af emerald-grønne vandfald kaskader gennem frodig tropisk skov. Her vil du have tid til at slappe af, udforske vandrestier eller endda tage en forfriskende svømning i de naturlige pools, hvilket gør det til en perfekt balance mellem historie, kultur og natur.

JEATH War Museum er dedikeret til historien om mændene, der arbejdede på Death Railway. Akronymet JEATH står for de forskellige nationaliteter af de krigsfanger, der arbejdede på bygningen af jernbanen mellem 1942 og 1943: Japan, England, Amerika, Australien, Thailand og Holland (Holland). Museet viser de faktiske genstande, der blev brugt til opførelsen af Dødsjernbanen, og det udstiller et stort antal fotografier taget af fanger på det tidspunkt. Et af de tre gallerier med billeder er anbragt i en bambushytte, der er en nøjagtig kopi af de shelters, som krigsfangerne (krigsfangerne) boede i i denne tid. Museet er også hjemsted for en bombe, der blev kastet af de allierede for at ødelægge broen, men som ikke eksploderede. BEMÆRK: SAMLET TID ER INKLUSIVE REJSETID FRA BANGKOK TIL KANCHANABURI
Broen over Kwai-floden var en del af en strategisk jernbanerute til Burma, hvor japanerne sigtede på at sikre sig forsyninger til at erobre andre vestasiatiske lande. Den var 415 kilometer lang og passerede gennem Three Pagodas Pass i Sangkhlaburi District, den nordligste del af Kanchanaburi-provinsen. Den japanske kejserlige hær bragte jernbroen fra Java under den japanske besættelse af Thailand i Anden Verdenskrig. Det blev derefter lignet af allierede krigsfanger (POW) under japansk opsyn. Et besøg på River Kwai Bridge og Kanchanaburi krigskirkegård opmuntrer en til at overveje den utålelige behandling, som allierede krigsfanger, thaier, burmesere og malaysere blev udsat for under den japanske kejserlige hær under opførelsen af den berygtede Burma Railway, bedre kendt som Death Railway. Arbejdet med jernbanen blev afsluttet på 16 måneder, på trods af beregninger fra japanske ingeniører om, at byggeriet ville tage mindst 5 år!
Erawan National Park blev grundlagt i 1975 som Thailands 12. Nationalpark og er hjemsted for et af de mest populære vandfald i landet. Den største attraktion i parken er de 7-etages Erawan Falls med smaragdgrønne damme. Faldet er opkaldt efter den trehovedede elefant fra hinduistisk mytologi, da den øverste grå stær ligner den. Her har du tid nok til en forfriskende svømmetur lige midt i junglen eller endda gå til det øverste niveau af vandfaldene (hvis vejret tillader det). Glem ikke at medbringe badetøj og et håndklæde.

Once again Mr kraising didn't disappoint us.. We planned a couple trip to Kanchanaburi from Bangkok. The ride was long, but going up to the waterfall, having a natural fish spa at level 3 was amazing. The death railway train ride was enjoyable but it felt a bit dark with memories of the place. We thoroughly went through dinner at keeree mantra restaurant, sampling Thai authentic dishes. We recommend this guy.. @letmedrivethailand on Facebook.. This was our second time booking him for Thailand trips.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💙 We're delighted to hear that you had another great experience with Mr. Kraising and enjoyed the beauty of Erawan Waterfall, especially the natural fish spa at Level 3! The River Kwai and Death Railway are truly unforgettable places with rich history, and we're glad you enjoyed the journey. Thank you for trusting Let Me Drive Thailand for the second time. Your kind recommendation means the world to us. We look forward to creating more amazing memories with you on your next Thailand adventure! See you again soon!

We caught a grab to the travel office in Chinatown,we got there we got invited in inside,nice aircon,then our driver turned up,I forgot his name ,then we started our drive to bridge over river Kwai and erawan falls,it took us nearly 2.5 hrs to get there,we met our guide Na she was very good indeed, explained everything about the railway and the museum,the prisoners of wars ,were treated terrible by the Japanese soldiers,if you didn't work you were punished,then we caught a boat down the river to the bridge,that was excited,then walked over the bridge,the railway so to take 3 years,but they were made to it in 18 months,100,000 soldiers died,then we left there and went to the erawan falls in the national park,,which were 1 hr away,we got there Na walked with us to waterfall 2 ,my wife went by the waterfall and we took photos,then Na left us and we walked up to waterfall 5,that was hard work,but I did it,it made me proud at 54 yrs old,I beat some of the young people.then we walked back down,my wife got dressed put the life jacket back,then we got the buggy back to the entrance,I would say have lunch before you go to the falls. I enjoyed it so much.defintely recommend it.
