Just this part of the railway is worth a visit, but don't wait too long, the Thai railways are doing a renovation and I fear they are replacing all the wood with concrete. If that happens, it is finished as a tourist attraction. Take a walk on the track, but be ready to step aside when the train comes. It drives quite slowly, and the horn is honked in good time.

The death railway as it is called a a popular places for tourists both Thai and non Thai to come to take photos, enjoy the views , even relax and engage in fun activities at the local resorts. It is a very beautiful area and there was some places to get food, drinks and tourist things at the market next to the caravan park. It’s worth a visit if you are in the area. It is about a 3 hour drive from Bangkok. See my YouTube the travelling social worker in Thailand for my video on this place

Wonderful destination from Bangkok! You can go by Daily Trains (just 100 baht per person), staying at Suan Saiyok resort was a great decision we took!

Arrived here after the last train passed for sometime, so the whole place seems deserted. It feels serene, and peaceful, oblivious to the hardships and numerous deaths that took the POW and Romusha to built it. Some tracks are new, while most hugging the cliffs are still original. The sleepers tells the difference. There's no safety railing along the tracks so walking along it is a risk every one takes on their own, which I prefer it that way to preserve its originality. After visiting the Death Railway Museum followed by visiting this tracks in person gives me a real sense of respect yet sorrow for the fallen people who were forced to built it. An impossible task made possible, albeit hundred of thousands of sacrificed. A must visit if you are at Kanchanaburi. One bucket list of mine..... cleared.

Reach there around 4 to 5pm. Not much people around and the shops are closing. But it's the golden hour to be there had the place to ourselves and can take photos without disturbance and even get to see the train passing by. Definitely worth the drive there. We park at the thamkrasae station side just a short walk to the bridge and the cave.

Great scenery with a historic railway above the river. You can enter this part of the railway from both Suan Sai Yok Resort and a market side. The first one is recommended because you can take a walk along the rails to see natural and man-made landscape for awhile. In the late morning, a train will approach this route at 11.00 a.m. and you could take a picture with a train at the sidewalk safely.

Around the station there are shops selling local souvenirs, coffee, and places to enjoy views of the Kwai Noi River. By walking and taking beautiful pictures on the tracks of the Death Railway. You can also stop by to pay homage to the Buddha image. But come in the morning, the weather is not hot. But check the train time so you can walk around without being suspicious.

Highly recommended not because of history of the death railway, the beautyfull view as well, great experience to walk on top the railway but be caution there are dangerous. If you are self drive, follow the directions of Suan Sai Yok resort, park your car over there and proceed to the entire place, you can choose to stay at the resort or dining there.

It is a wooden bridge that spans the cliff. The cliff was carved by the Japanese army during the war, and I heard that it took a lot of effort to build this bridge. The bridge draws a gentle S-shaped curve, and the train moves slowly over this bridge. The river is just below the bridge, so you can feel a thrill. The train itself only comes once every few hours, so you can walk on the bridge while the train is not coming. Of course, since it is just a railway bridge, there are no fences or anything like that, so you need to be careful not to drop anything on it. Next time I go, I'd like to see the train passing by up close.

Must visit.. beautiful scenic views of the river, historic background of the railways and Instagrammable spots You can reach here with a train from Tha Kilen station or Wan Sing Station (mine was from Tha Kilen to Thamkra Sae for 100 Baht)

Great Spot and and Historical Railway Line built on the edge of the River Kwai famously known as THE DEATH RAILWAY. We can walk thru some distance on the railway track to enjoy the beauty of the Historical Railway. There is small station with local vendors selling snacks and water.

Plan an independent trip to this place from Bangkok By 06:50, arrive at the southern bus station of Bangkok (sai tai mai), buy a minivan ticket to Kanchanaburi (110 baht) on the spot. The minivan leaves at 07:00 (and also every half hour), there are no queues. Arrive in Kanchanaburi at 9:20. In Kanchanaburi, you immediately go to the Skywalk for 60 baht (there is nothing to do there for more than 20 minutes), then take a taxi to Saphan Kwae Yai station, at 10:20 you inspect the bridge over the Kwai River (also 20 minutes is enough). At 10:43 take the train from Saphan Kwae Yai to Thamkra Sae (ticket sold inside the train, fare 100 baht). At 11:53 a.m. get off at Thamkra Sae station, walk along the Death Bridge for an hour and a half, see the cave, and eat. At 13:36 take the return train directly to Bangkok (Thonburi), return to Bangkok around 18 pm (fare 100 baht)

The well known Railway Bridge near the river Kwai, part of the Siam-Burma historic railway. Started during the Japanese army occupation of Indochina during WW2. Due to many forced labourers who died during its construction, the line is known as the death railway. Be sure to visit this plade, very scenic !

Took the railway here. According to the tour guide, this is one of the recommend pit stops to take the railway. Nice scenic views, and there’s a small cave nearby. Do try to wear proper shoes though! I was unaware and showed up in slippers - not the best footwear for the tracks.

One of the attractions worth seeing.

A historic landmark worth visiting and appreciating. The train ride was quite an experience too. It was boiling when I visited in May, highly suggest visiting at cooler months!

Be sure to bring an umbrella and a small towel, it's really hot over there.

An interesting place to learn about the history of the railway and see the difficult sections that were built.

One of a kind view and experience. It took 1650 POW's and 100 Romusha to make the trestle bridge. Featured twice in "The Railway Man" movie.

Historical Place

View and history! We took train as well! It was surreal! I highly recommend pho there in good season! Don’t choose too hot weather! Avoid going there in April or May

If you like history, this place is a live museum. You can walk on or under the railway to see how hard this railway can be built in just around 2 weeks-time. Please be careful while walking on the railway.

The train ride is thrilling. It’s making, though, made me wept. Beautiful views. Well worth a day trip.

Unique experience to get this close to the train with river view. Not the best but still highly recommended.
