Kanchanaburi, Thailand 2nd March 2009




Finally made it to the river Kwai. We are staying in a nice place right next to the river with a view of the bridge.




Went to the River Kwai Museum today which was very good. Also, very sad to see and read about all the young men who died building the railway.




We then went to the war graves cemetary which was really beautiful and poignant. I am always very moved to see the graves of unknown soldiers, and there were quite a few in this cemetary. Although it is very much a tourist attraction because of the film, everyone is still very respectful which was nice to see.
