So fun to see train travel in Thailand. The Temple and river was so pretty. Definitely worth it!
Yep, it’s definitely a pretty place with plenty to see and do!
Wow that train ride was incredible especially since its the most economical way.
Absolutely love the beautiful Temple and the restaurant looked great!
The bridge was so so so stunning, the history is just so sad!
The waterfalls looks absolutely stunning wow!! So relaxing!
Yes, traveling between cities in Thailand doesn’t have to break the bank! The train is a convenient and cheap way to get around the country!
I like the way you explain what you see in the video. Love that translate app. The temple and the surrounding is amazing. The giant tree and waterfalls are so impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Yes Google translate is so helpful! So glad there’s such a helpful and free tool like that! Thanks for watching!

hi just discover your channel. it's lovely. thanks for showing me around.
You're very welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
How amazing to actually visit that bridge! Such a sad history ☹️ but awesome how they have the bridge week fair! Beautiful light show!
We agreed! It's nice that they teach the history in a way that people will actually listen and hopefully not repeat the mistakes of the past! Thanks for the comment!
Oh wow those waterfalls are so pretty 😍
Indeed they are! The waterfall might be our favorite part of the province. So beautiful!
Thanks for the background information =)
Happy to share! Enjoy Kanchanaburi!
We are scheduled to be there in November...my friend Thawee is Thai so easy goings...looking forward to it!...thanks for the visuals.
Happy to sharing! Hope you enjoy your trip in November! Happy travel planning!
I’ve spent a lot of time in Thailand and never been here. I would say it is worth it. Adding this to my list for next time! 🙏
Nice! Glad to hear you’re adding Kanchanaburi to your list. It’s definitely worth it! Make sure you reserve a whole day for the waterfalls. They are stunning!
It's worth a visit, but only if it's on your route i think. Big like here and have a great week my friends
The waterfalls alone make Kanchanaburi worth a visit for sure.
This was very interesting. We had a similar history lesson for the world wars with the focus on Canadian, European and American points of view. I agree with David - great to create an attraction so that others can learn more about the past.
Yes, we definitely missed the history of quite a few continents in school. Now, it's up to us to learn about the world ourselves.
In my previous trips in Thailand I did not visit this region because I felt it did not worth it. Your video is therefore relevant because now it convinces me that I should go there. Kendra, you are an excellent narrator, you speak slowly, clearly so it makes it interesting. Your English is easy to understand for everyone. Thank you and keep on !
Thanks so much Jean-Guy! I teach English online so I know the importance of speaking slowly. Kanchanaburi is definitely not as popular as many other cities in Thailand, but it really does have a lot to offer and we are so glad we visited it! It's definitely worth a visit when you get back in Thailand. Kind regard my friend and thanks for watching!
I enjoyed your video, interesting history over the bridge. The architecture of the temple is simply fabulous. Great you have a application to read and translate 😂
Yes Google translate is a life saver! I can’t believe such a useful app is free!
Great museum and bridge to learn history closer from WWII. Oh man you really need to learn Thai to understand those signs on the streets. The temple is looking so awesome! There are such nice waterfalls in Thailand, agreed. Really has so much to offer for the visitors!
We learned and experienced so much! It’s definitely worth it!
The history of the railway is very sad, but I agree with David, hopefully many will learn from the past. That is interesting that people walk on it, I was glad to see the platforms along the way.
The view from the riverside restaurant was so lovely.
Yes, walking on the bridge is a must. It's thrilling to have a train pass so close to you.
Nice would really love to go here
Hope you make it to Kanchanaburi soon!
Which season is best for visit kanchanapuri Thailand .your explains about kanchanapuri is very good. Congratulations.
It’s best to come during dry season from November to May. April-May will be the hottest months though so November-March is probably best.
Nice sharing my dear new friend here i joind your channel
Well welcome to the channel! Glad to have you with us!
I remember going there on my first visit as my grandfather was part of the pows who were forced to build the original bridge a nd the new one is just a replica
Wow, I’m sure that was a very impactful visit since it was directly connected to your family member.
@@LucasWorldTravel it was and visited the war graves museum was a very emotional day.
Super wundervoll
I haven't been here for many years, but it is definitely worth visiting. So much to do there. Sadly, most Thai people have no clue about the history behind the bridge and don't know what happened there. What time of year did the fair take place? I'd like to go. Did you checkout Hellfire Pass?
The fair was early December and really nice! Fireworks every night. We didn’t make it to hell fire pass. Always leaving something for next time!
Wayne does enjoy WW 2 history so would enjoy the Jeath War Museum. Wayne watched the John Wayne movie with the same bridge's name so many times when he was growing up! April has issues with her left knee too, from an old injury. Wow, that monkey pod tree is so awesome! Do you know how old it is? How come you did not go on any of the carnival rides? 😉
The tree was around 100 years old and for whatever reason we just weren't in the mood to ride rides. Seeing the pretty colors and watching people have a good time was enough for us.
Gotcha. We would have guessed the tree was older than 100!
The views from the bridge are so beautiful! It is good that it is a tourist attraction so that people can learn the darker history behind it. The monkey pod tree is incredible...I don't think I have ever seen a tree that enormous. I love the waterfalls as well. The restaurant on the river front is also amazing...so lovely you can have delicious food and watch all the fireworks!
We got lucky because we had no idea fireworks would be going off, but it made for a magical dinner.
Wow the history of that bridge was both fascinating and heartbreaking at the same time. As David said it’s good that it’s a tourist attraction now so that we can all learn from the past.
The staircase to the temple are so colourful and lead up to an even more colourful temple.
Loved the huge tree, that was impressive too!
Yes, it's good that they have both the festival and the museum to educate and raise awareness about the history of the bridge. So many people dislike learning about history. This is why we admire the way they skilfully teach it. Thanks for the comment guys! Kind regards!
Is it possible to fly a drone lesser than 250g there without registering?
I'm not sure. You'll have to google the regulations.
Nice video! This is not the original bridge, the original location is around 200 meter up the river.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
The best part of coming here is seeing the 6000 immaculately kept common wealth war graves, very humbling and sad but you didnt show or mention them,cant understand why?????
We’re not big on going to cemeteries. Just our personal preference.
NO not this bridge
Absolutely worth a visit
Agreed 💯!
