Erawan Waterfalls
Today, we started with a trip to the Erawan waterfalls, which have 7 tiers. I only made it to number 5, but Hannah and Noah made it to 7!
There were two kinds of fish in the water, massive ones and tiny little ones that nibbled at your dead skin. I only managed to paddle as it was quite difficult to get into some of the pools.
Tham Krasae Bridge & Cave
Tham Krasae was our first stop on our journey of the infamous death railway built in second world war. We were perfectly timed to see a train go over the bridge, with the other G-Adventure tour on.
We also went into the cave that is next to the track.
Thai-Burmese Railway Museum
Thailand-Burma railway was built in 1942–43 by the Japanese using Prisoners-of-War (POWs) as labour. The camps conditions were awful and would have contributed towards the death counts. Which nearly 7000 Britons. The museum was really interesting and sad to read. Below are some of the info to read further of your interested. We also went to the graveyard next door, which has British, Australian and dutch graves.
Bridge on the River Kwai
This part of the Bridge was bombed by the Americans airforce in 1945 to stop the Japanese army’s vital supply line between Burma and Malaya.
When we got to the hotel, there was time for a dip in the pool before we got ready to go for dinner.
