I suppose we are the first two Malaysian to swim in this River Kwai near to the death railway bridge.
We then waked about 1.3km to The Bridge over River Kwai and witnessed the 6pm train passing through. We had dinner at Pai Kan restaurant ? very good and cheap.

The track is developed into a walkway with side platforms. This allows crossing the railway bridge on foot. These platforms are useful as viewpoints and for avoiding trains. |
