• Death Railway

The Death Railway, Thailand-Burma Railway, was one of World War II’s most ambitious and brutal engineering projects, built under impossible conditions by Allied prisoners of war and Asian forced laborers. The railway wound through 415 km of jungle, mountain, and river valley between Bangkok and Rangoon. Today, 130 kilometers of the original line remain in operation between Kanchanaburi and Nam Tok.
The train journey along this surviving section, particularly across the famous Wang Po Viaduct, where the track clings to the cliff face above the Kwai Noi River, is one of Thailand’s most dramatic and historically train journeys. The journey from Kanchanaburi to Nam Tok takes approximately 2.5 hours and includes crossings of the River Kwai bridge and several stretches of spectacular river-valley scenery. The train runs three times daily from Kanchanaburi station. A return journey or a one-way trip combined with a return by minibus or taxi from Nam Tok is the most practical arrangement.
