Reviews

5/5, a day to remember

This was an amazing experience and I sincerely recommend this. The countryside is beautiful and the guide is friendly. The value/price isvery high. However, this includes some walking in quite difficult circumstances (on top of an elevated railroad). Hence, skip this if you have don't feel comfortable with the idea.

Meget interessant og tankevækkende tur

Historien om bygningen af jernbanen fra Thailand til Burma under 2. Verdenskrig er både interessant og tankevækkende. Bygningen af jernbanen blev udført af ca. 60.000 krigsfanger og ialt ca 200.000 civile under grusomme forhold hvor mere end 100.000 døde i løbet af de 16 mdr det tog at bygge jernbanen. Det er vigtigt at vi ikke glemmer historien.
Man skal være opmærksom på, at en stor del af dagen går med transport frem og tilbage til Bangkok, ca 2-3 timer hver vej, afhængig af trafik. Vores guide havde uden tvivl en stor viden om emnet men var desværre (syntes jeg) svær at forstå, da hans engelsk ikke var specielt godt. Men overordnet set, en rigtig spændende dag.

Ok but needs improvement ( cost)

The day was a great experience seeing the river Kwai bridge, JEATH museum death railway etc however we was surprised when we got there to have no lunch included when it states clearly on the booking that it is. we got hassled to go on a boat ride to go down the river just like a POW apparently! ( nothing will come close to feeling like those brave individuals did and I find that disrespectful to say) we didn’t as we are on a budget but the guide tried and tried. we then had to pay out our own pockets to get back to our hotel as the driver didn’t want to drop us off as it takes too long. this is fine but at least pay the metro fare we had to pay this coming back (The driver did not say a single word does he not speak English ? ) also don’t fall for the payment for a seat on the train it costs 200 baht you get a drink and a snack but we saw plenty of seats available it’s just a scam luckily we didn’t fall in the trap. If you do this tour stick with the original plan and don’t get add ons because that is how this company makes its money. But to see the river Kwai from Bangkok in one day this is probably your only option as train timings are very close. Have a shop around and see what you can find.

Slecht voorbereid

Marieke P, 18-11-2022

Gids praatte slecht Engels dus de helft begreep ik niet. Er kwamen ter plekke nog kosten bij die je moest betalen. Dit werd op de begraafplaats gezegd tussen honderden gesneuvelde soldaten. Echt respectloos .Je had dus geen keuze hierin We moesten 500 meter over het spoor lopen terwijl onder je de afgrond was. Dit vond ik doodeng. Ik was dus op een hoop niet voorbereid en dat maakte het minder.
