Ponte sobre o rio Kwai e viagem guiada de trem Tailândia-Burma
Descrição
A ponte sobre o rio Kwai e o passeio ferroviário Tailândia-Birma oferece uma viagem fascinante na história e paisagens da Tailândia durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este passeio guiado leva você à ponte icônica, que se tornou um símbolo das dificuldades enfrentadas por soldados e prisioneiros de guerra durante a construção da ferrovia. Sua aventura começa com uma pick up de hotel de Banguecoque e, em seguida, tomar um passeio panorâmico para Kanchanaburi, onde você aprenderá sobre o significado histórico da ponte e do comboio, muitas vezes referido como o "Comboio da Morte". Enquanto você fica na ponte, você pode apreciar as vistas deslumbrantes do rio e da paisagem circundante, tudo enquanto refletindo sobre a história apaixonante. O passeio inclui um passeio na ferrovia Tailândia-Burma, fornecendo uma oportunidade única para experimentar as mesmas trilhas que foram construídas em condições adversas. Você também visitará o Museu da Guerra e o Cemitério de Guerra dos Aliados, que honram as memórias daqueles que sofreram durante este período.

Itinerário
O rio Khwae Yai, também conhecido como Si Sawat, é um rio no oeste da Tailândia. Sua fonte está nas colinas Tenasserim e flui por cerca de 380 quilômetros pelos distritos de Sangkhla Buri, Si Sawat e Mueang, na província de Kanchanaburi, onde se funde com o Khwae Noi para formar o rio Mae Klong em Pak Phraek.
A ponte sobre o rio Kwai, que muitas pessoas conhecem do filme de 1957 com o mesmo nome ou do livro de Pierre Boulle, faz parte da infame Estrada de Ferro da Morte, construída durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial entre 1942 e 1943. A ferrovia ligava Kanchanaburi, no oeste da Tailândia, a Rangoon, em Mianmar, na época chamada Birmânia, e tinha cerca de 415 quilômetros de extensão. Em ambos os lados, a construção começou em junho de 1942, trabalhando um para o outro. Em outubro de 1943, os dois lados se encontraram, terminando a ferrovia.
O cemitério de guerra de Kanchanaburi é o principal cemitério de prisioneiros de guerra das vítimas da prisão japonesa durante a construção da ferrovia da Birmânia. Fica na estrada principal, Saeng Chuto Road, através da cidade de Kanchanaburi, na Tailândia, ao lado de um antigo cemitério chinês.
Este pequeno museu, inaugurado em 1977, concentra-se principalmente nas provações terríveis dos prisioneiros de guerra que construíram a Ferrovia da Morte. Suas duras condições de vida são mostradas em muitas fotos, cartas e desenhos originais da época, além de objetos pessoais e relíquias de guerra, incluindo uma bomba aliada não explodida lançada para destruir a ponte. Uma das três galerias é construída em bambu no estilo dos abrigos (chamados attap) onde os prisioneiros de guerra moravam.

I had an amazing experience on this trip and it exceeded my expectations. Mr. Oom our guide is quite a character and made the long day enjoyable. Because this is a long day with the drive there and back. Once there the visit to the small museum and then the real attraction begins with the long boat to the bridge then watching the train cross then you can cross at your leisure. Then a short drive to the station for a 75min train journey through picturesque country side. You should be aware that as the windows are open to see everything fumes and dust do enter the coaches but it's a small price to pay for the experience. After the train ride we went for the buffet lunch at a restaurant with beautiful views over the valley and the food wasn't bad either. Overall I would say this trip is worth the cost and the time.
Dear Grant_P, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed review of the Bridge on the River Kwai and Thailand-Burma Railway tour! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the experience exceeded your expectations. It is a long day with the drive, so we are incredibly glad that Mr. Oom made the journey so entertaining and enjoyable for you—he truly is a wonderful character, and I will be sure to pass along your compliments to him! We are glad you enjoyed the full itinerary, from the long-tail boat ride to the memorable 75-minute train journey through the countryside. Thank you also for sharing that practical tip about the open-air train windows for future travelers; as you mentioned, a bit of dust and train fumes are a small price to pay for such an authentic and picturesque historic ride! It is also wonderful to know you enjoyed the buffet lunch and those beautiful valley views. Thank you again for your kind words and for confirming that the tour is well worth the time and cost. We hope to welcome you on another historic adventure in Thailand soon! Best regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

If you enjoy history, this experience is for you! They organized all details so incredibly, from bathroom breaks, lunch, and pickups/drop offs. Be prepared to pay the 300 bath cost for a train seat, per person, in cash. Water was also provided throughout. Our tour guide, Oom, was very thorough and knowledgeable about the history of the Bridge and POWs. The tour may leave you feeling a bit melancholy, but overall it was an experience we were glad to attend.

This I Asia Thailand tour, with our guide Mr Rach, was an excellent day and exceeded my expectations. Communication from both Mr Ake and Mr Rach was superb. I was kept well informed before the tour day, which made everything feel easy and organised. I recommend taking sunscreen, which I forgot, and a hat. There was a welcome bottle of water on pick-up, as well as stops along the way to purchase cold drinks. And take a small pack of tissues because some of the stops didn’t have toilet paper! The order of the stops was different from the original booking, but we fitted so much into the day that it didn’t matter at all. The pacing was perfect. I was post-surgery, so I was a little worried about my energy and mobility, but everything was manageable. Both the tour operator and the other guests were extremely supportive and protective. Mr Rach was incredibly knowledgeable about the sites we visited and answered every question. The sites themselves were moving and memorable. He also took photos of everyone in the group throughout the day — and he definitely knows all the best shots! He sent them to us via WhatsApp afterwards so we could keep them. He made sure we had the best seats on the train ride along the “Death Railway”. The upgrade from economy — aka cattle class with wooden seats — was optional, but for only 200 THB we were able to get padded vinyl seating. We were also given instructions on the best side of the train to sit on for the greatest views. There was even a surprise welcome package on the train, with a bottle of cold water, a cooling wipe and a small cake. There was a buffet lunch included with a wide variety of foods — I’m a fussy eater but found the “Thai KFC” as Mr Rach called it (crumbed chicken thighs) and fries suited my palate. The others who were more food-oriented enjoyed the range of soups and other dishes available. Drinks were reasonably priced and the sweets were delicious. Over the course of the day, we travelled by long boat, train, air-conditioned van and on foot, which made the whole experience varied, interesting and unforgettable. Highly recommend I Asia Thailand and Mr Rach.
Dear Lisa, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such an incredibly detailed and thoughtful review of your tour with us! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the day exceeded your expectations from start to finish. We will be sure to pass along your wonderful compliments to Mr. Rach and Mr. Ake. Clear communication and flawless organization are top priorities for us, so it is fantastic to hear you felt well-informed before the day even began. Mr. Rach will be especially delighted by your shout-out—he truly takes pride in finding the absolute best photo spots for our guests, securing those prime padded seats on the Death Railway train ride, and keeping everyone safe and smiling. We are also so glad to hear that despite your recent surgery, the pacing of the tour felt comfortable and that you felt supported throughout the day. Your practical tips regarding sunscreen, hats, and tissues are incredibly helpful for future travelers, and we're so glad the "Thai KFC" hit the spot at lunch! Thank you for choosing I Asia Thailand and for highly recommending us. It was a true pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure the next time you visit! Best regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
our tour guide was rushing everywhere we did not spend a lot of time at the places we wanted to visit.the guide did not know much about the history of the bridge
Dear Simon_H, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent tour to the Bridge on the River Kwai and the Thailand-Burma Railway.

We appreciate your constructive feedback as it helps us continually monitor and improve our services. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience on a future journey. Warm regards, Paul
Amazing experience. We were picked up and dropped off directly at our hotel which was very convenient especially for such an early departure. We got a breakfast stop after the early departure. The cemetery was moving and the museum was quaint but interesting. The motor boat ride and train ride were both spectacular. The included lunch was great.
Dear David, Thank you for the "amazing" feedback! We are so pleased that the door-to-door convenience and the breakfast stop helped make the early start much easier for you. It is wonderful to hear you found the historical sites moving and enjoyed the spectacular views from the boat and train. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team and our catering partners. We hope to see you on another adventure soon! Regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
