Kanchanaburi

This is the view from my balcony in Kanchanaburi. I arrived here on 6th December. The town features the famous "Bridge on the River Kwai", part of the "Death Railway" that the Japanese army constructed to join the Thai and Burmese railway systems together during WWII. Allied POWs were used as forced labour, along with local people. Trains still run across the bridge today, and carry on as far as Nam Tok, which is the terminal stop.
