Re: Short Trip To Kanchanaburi Area

Tomorrow's report is from the site of the original bridge - JEATH Museum 2. The museums are about 3.5 miles from each other by road.

Re: Short Trip To Kanchanaburi Area

Part 4 JEATH Museum 1 After breakfast, we left the women in the hotel (12 o’clock checkout), while my son and I wandered down to the JEATH Museum not far from the current bridge. JEATH means Japan, England, Australia, America, Thailand, Holland. [ Edit ] I'd forgotten that America were in the war a...

An excellent strategy to integrate their 3 new signings into the rest of the team.

Re: Short Trip To Kanchanaburi Area

Part 3 Tham Kra Sae Cave DSC06028.jpg We have caught the train from Wang Pho to Kanchanaburi several times in the past. We have always been impressed at the rickety Tham Kra Sae Bridge, just after Tham Kra Sae Station. The train seems to travel about 2MPH for fear that this weak looking bridge coul...

Re: Hua Hin City FC

This is quite normal. We have reached the half way point of the season. There is always a break at this stage before the fixture list is reversed for the second half of the season. The game that has been cancelled is a cup game, so maybe we're through to the second round :D Even the local leagues ha...

Re: Short Trip To Kanchanaburi Area

Which JEATH museum do you mean. There are 2. Sunday's report will contain:
This museum was a real hotch potch of artefacts. Not just wartime memorabilia, but included watches, stamps, saucepans, shoes, Miss Thailand, jewellery etc. It was very random to say the least.

You may want to read these accounts BB. :( "....Tropical ulcers caused only 2 per cent of deaths on the railway but were particularly loathed. Caused by the infection of wounds by microorganisms, they would eat away flesh to the bone. Even the smallest scratch might develop into an ulcer. Rowl...

Re: Short Trip To Kanchanaburi Area

I guess that you are aware of it, but as a point of interest, the whole memorial owes a debt to an Australian guy that has devoted a lot of time, effort and his own money into preserving and developing the area. http://www.mansell.com/pow_resources/camplists/death_rr/museum.html I wasn't aware - th...

Re: Short Trip To Kanchanaburi Area

If you go to the end of the trail, there is road access and very easy walking access through Hintock Cutting to 3 Tier Bridge, which would give a real feel of what went on. The footpath is a bit stoney, but I'm sure you could manage it. Entering the Death Railway from this end would be absolutely fr...

Re: Short Trip To Kanchanaburi Area

Part 2 Hell Fire Pass This is somewhere that I’ve heard about so many times before, but we’ve never been in Kanchanaburi long enough before to actually stop off there. A bit of pre-visit Internet investigation, and I had the co-ordinates programmed into my SatNav. A couple of clicks and we were on ...
