Itinéraire
De Hua Hin, il faut environ 2,5 heures jusqu'au célèbre pont historique sur la rivière Kwai. Ce pont a été rendu célèbre par Pierre Boulle dans son livre et le film qui s'en inspirait, Le Pont sur la rivière Kwai.
Visitez le musée de la guerre Jeath. Le musée est divisé en deux sections, l'une représentant la construction du chemin de fer de la mort qui vise à recréer les quartiers utilisés par les prisonniers de guerre alliés, et l'autre composée de huttes en bambou reconstruites contenant des objets tels que des peintures, des dessins et des photos d'anciens prisonniers. , armes, outils et cartes.
Nous prenons ensuite le train le long de la rivière Kwai sur la route historique, en passant devant de beaux paysages et le chemin de fer de la mort historiquement triste, qui tire son nom du nombre de vies perdues pendant la construction.
Nous aurons un buffet de déjeuner thaïlandais dans un restaurant local. Après nous visiterons le chemin de fer de la mort. Les estimations varient mais, sur plus de 60 000 prisonniers de guerre réduits en esclavage sur le chemin de fer de la mort, 13 000 seraient morts, en plus de 90 000 travailleurs forcés civils d'Asie du Sud-Est. Même ceux qui ont surmonté les difficultés ont dû endurer des conditions de vie et de travail épouvantables, y compris un climat humide et ravagé par la mousson, propice à la propagation des maladies, aux pénuries alimentaires, à l'absence de soins médicaux et à la tâche gigantesque de la construction sur un terrain impardonnable et avec des équipements primitifs. . C’est sans compter l’incroyable violence et la torture infligées par les soldats japonais et coréens qui supervisent la construction. Le chemin de fer de la mort a été achevé en octobre 1943.
Ce cimetière de guerre est également connu sous le nom de cimetière de guerre de Kanchanaburi. Il contient les restes de 6 982 prisonniers de guerre australiens, néerlandais et britanniques qui ont perdu la vie lors de la construction du chemin de fer de la mort. Après nous retournerons à Hua Hin

Pick-up was in a fully equipped minibus for max. 8 guests. Our guide "Am" was great. He gave a lot of information about the history of the railway line. For me the stop at the cemetery was not so interesting now but that is a matter of taste. The short boat trip or the entry and exit into the boat is difficult for the physically impaired to cope with. The food in the restaurant on river overlooking the railway lines was really good. Authentic and local. Something for everyone and rich. The subsequent train ride on the historic train was also an experience. Clear recommendation for this tour.
Long day with a lot to see, and long drive with a minivan, which I think is better than a bus. The guide didn’t talk that much, only where we do stop and how long. That is a big minus, because we didn’t get any information about the places. There would have been a loads of time to explain about the history and little details here and there. He answered when someone ask something, but I don’t think it is our job.
Very long drive, but definitely worth the trip. Exciting to see the bridge over the river Kwai, the cruise on the river and not least the train ride on the Death Railway. And then we had a really good guide.
Our guide was Nan. She was adorable attentive and informative. The trip was memorable abd enhoya le with a super boat and trai ride. The meal was excellent
If you have mobility issues I do not recommend this trip. There’s a long step down into the long boat and after the ride there’s a huge step up onto the dock with a very narrow unsafe step to get out. If you need a cane or other aid it will next to impossible to get out of that boat. The trip itself was quite nice. The place we stopped for food before the train ride was delicious! The train ride thru the countryside was very enjoyable. The cemetery was sad and somber as we expected. We all know this history but it’s quite different when you’re standing right there. Museum was disappointing I just expected a lot more I guess but it was still nice to see. Bridge site was great- hard to imagine what went on here. Our guide could have been a lot more engaging, for example provide some historical facts of the places we visited
Exciting and moving experience with a group of 6 people. Long drive, but alternating with boat and train. Very good lunch. The guide spoke poorly English, would like to have had more information.
Well worth the money Tour guide and driver was lovely Very interesting lots of information Really enjoyed the day even if it was very emotional
Initially booked the 2 day trip to ensure we saw everything. Sadly, this was cancelled by the tour operator, but we were offered the 1 day instead. I really wish we hadn't bothered and just done a trip ourselves from Bangkok. Total amount of time sat in a minibus was 7 1/4 hours (3 hours there, 3.5 hours back and 45 minutes from one place to another). We had just 3 hours out of the minibus to eat, visit Chong Kai war cemetary (very moving) have a boat ride, a train ride, a look around Jeath war museum (not very good) a quick walk along the 'bridge' over the river kwai which looks brand new due to being repainted and finally a quick walk along the Death Railway and it's 'cave'. A very expensive trip that could have been so much better. Notes for the tour operator - with the new skywalk being open, the Kancanaburi War Cemetery and nearby museum and Hellfire pass all close by, this tour could be so much better! Such a shame that through no fault of ours what we were offered was not as good as expected. However, I cannot fault our guide and driver who were excellent.
An emotional trip that shows you the real story of the Bridge over the River Kwai. The guide and the driver were excellent and though it was a long day from our hotel it was 100% worth the experience
I have almost nothing to complain about. Would have liked more time at the bridge. would have been nice if it hadn't been so crowded.
