Kanchanaburi by Train #3

Our train journey continues...

Our train, continuing west, passed by some beautiful Thai countryside....

Rice fields...

We arrived at the most famous station on this route, Kanchanaburi, where many foreign passengers got off.

Station sign post:


However, what most don't know, is that if you stay ON the train and continue to the next station, you can actually travel via train over the famous Bridge on the River Kwai. Which is exactly what we did. ^_^

If you continue the journey all the way to the final station, Namtok, you'll follow the river and enjoy  unspoiled scenery...

After arriving at Namtok 5 hours later, we caught a truck to our resort:


Check in again tomorrow to see the resort, which is not mentioned in any guide books. We stayed in a very unique room!

***Special Tip: For the best views, be sure to sit on the LEFT SIDE of the train when traveling to Kanchanaburi/ Namtok from Bangkok. The left offers views of the River Kwai. ^_^
