(Spanish-English)

Desde Bangkok hasta la provincia de Kanchanabauri en tren por unos paisajes de arrozales y palmeras que te dejan sin palabras. Kanchanaburi es una provincia del centro oeste muy turística para los tailandeses donde se encuentran varios parque nacionales y donde pasa el Rio Maw Khon Kwai o que es lo mismo donde se encuantra el puente sobre el rio Kwai i donde se filamron las peliculas "El puente sobre el rio Kwai" y "El Cazador".

Toda la zona es caracetristica por su paisaje verde oscuro y por el rio del color del cafe con leche y donde te puedes hospedar en casas flotantes. Al lado del rio pasa la via del tren de la muerte donde murieron 16.000 soldados aliados y mas de 100.000 esclavos de malasia, birmanos y tailandeses bajo los mandos de ejercitos y generales japoneses que queriaan construir la via de tren Siam-Birmania para asi facilitar la conquista de Birmania por parte de los japoneses, durante la segunda guerra mundial. Historicamente muy interesante, pero simplemente es una via de tren i mucha piedra cortada en medio de la jungla. Molt emotiu

From Bangkok on my way to the Kanchanaburi province by train with great views of rice fields and palm trees averywhere, contrasts of hard green colour with a soft and cloudy blue in the sky. This Province located in the west part of thailand is an important touristic spot for tahi people and where you can find the Maw Khon Kwai where the kwai bridge iis located, and where movies such as "Bridge over riiver Kai"and "Dear Hunter" were filmed.

All the area is peculiar cause its  green colours and the river kwai with its milk and coffe colour and where you can sleep in this floating guest houses (Bamboo Guest House).

All along the river Kwai ther is the Death trailway where 16.000 allies and 100.000 malaisian, burmanies and thaiis died building it during the WW II, under the japanese rule, so they could facilitate the conquest of Burma. Historiically it is really interesting, but it's just a railway and a bunch of cutted rocks in the middle of the jungle. Really moving staff
