Death Railway
23 Nov 2005. After lunch, our next tour visit was River Kwai Bridges with a scenic train ride along the Death Railway that leads to Burma. This bridge was brought by the Japanese during the World War 2 and about 60 000 Allied Prisoners were sacrificed there. I observed that there wasn't a single Japanese tourist among the crowd.
While waiting for the train which operates once a day, the tour guide brought us to Krasae Cave nearby. We dare not to venture too far inside for fear of getting lost.

The train finally arrived and it was packed. We managed to squeezed in and had a 25 minutes ride. It was bumpy but enjoyable. We proceeded to the River Kwai Bridge next.

We had dinner at a nearby restaurant there. After the meal, we were fetched to watch the Floating Nun's performance. She meditated in the water with various formation of the Buddha Image.

It was a hectic day. Though tired, we still went to the night market for a stroll instead of resting in the hotel room. Okay, we did pampered ourselves with a foot and shoulder massage @ s$9.60 per hour. Fresh from the massage, Fyn went to the hotel internet cafe to chat with her friends. For us, we called it a day.
