This was most excellent. The scenery from the air was beautiful, serene even. The final scenes in the cemetery are sobering reminder of the hubris of man and those that they try to enslave. Over 16,000 Allied prisoners lost their lives on the Death Railway and nearly twice that many indigenous people died as conscripts during the construction of the two-hundred and fifty-eight mile Burma-Siam Railway. Every mile is paid for with the lives of 188 people.
Thanks for your exact explanation. 🍒
Excellent - you really captured the spirit of the place - combining beauty & death.
Its a excellent video using the drone. from Thailand to the Myanmar.
The difficult construction had been constructed even if costing many war prisoner 'lives including indigenous peoples during WW 2. It deserves the death railway. The cemetry enabled us to remember the hurtful past memory. There is the cemetry of the UN solider who participated, died during Korean War at the Pusan.
Thanks for your posting. S/korea🍒
이이용현 thank you!
Myanmar or Burma is miles away from here! This is just crossing the Kwai in Thailand! don't be fooled by the tourist rubbish! If you ever visit here go to 'hellfire pass' --then if you have time go to the 3 pagodas pass in Singthongburi--that is the border town with Burma! Don't get fooled!
Nice video. Nice shots. I now this place.
My father was a pow and worked on the railroad anc this bridge.
Really nice video thanks for sharing see you
Stunning video and music, really touching. Thanks for sharing. Peter
Thanks Peter.
The Bridge gets all the publicity, however, further along the railway track is on trestles and the rock face is cut away which is far more interesting and brings it home to you that this was built out of human labour and human lives.
Beautiful film.
Thank You
I have been there. My wife's family lives about an hour away.. nice history there..
Yea,it's kinda a tourist trap. But they did preserve the history of it
Do we need permission to fly a drone there ? I go in 2 weeks and want to fly my drone. Please answer
Hi Jocelyn, The time i was there permission was not needed. I did speak to the local police about it though. On Tourist places like this (with many people around) i always tend to retrieve special permission because i do not want to have problems (wich i had in Morocco where drones are not alowed). Be aware that i have read that the Thai government now are not that flexible with drones anymore. I even think that now you need permission to fly in the whole country (or even to bring drones into the country, so ask with the customs when you arrive). Have a nice trip there👍
Hi Bentree, what drone were u using?
At that time it was the DJI phantom 3 Pro
Had a Phantom 3 SE. Lost it due to very strong signal interface.
Nice drone work btw.
charlie8you Thanks.
Hello! Wow, this is a really superb video. Your drone footage is excellent. i am making a (non-monetised) series of videos on finding and exploring various parts of the railway between Kanchanaburi and Three Pagodas Pass. I was wondering if I could use your drone footage in my videos? i will credit you and link to your video of course. Would this be possible?
Explore TBR thanks.... feel free to use the drone footage but when you post a link to my video together with the credit, that would be nice.
@@benvanboom8907 Thank you very much. Will definitely do so. Cheers!
Cool, how did you get in the cabin?
b9y just ask the traindriver at the station🙂
Is this really the real site for the bridge depicted in the movie? The bridge in the movie set was a wooden bridge, in this video, it is steel & concrete (but the rest of the railway track in this video seems wooden). Hence my question.
The actual bridge depicted in the movie (shot in Sri Lanka) was about 7km from this bridge. This is a much newer structure but it pulls the tourists in who don't really know or care about the details! Good money maker for the locals!
This point is actually a bridge. The bridge was bombed in 1945 until it was damaged but was renovated in 1948
I think I saw a different bridge and a museum. That bridge had side extensions which we had to run to to escape a train! Scary!
Original bridge was wooden, is this constructed on the same site?
I don’t know, I think so.
The broken part of original wooden bridge can be seen in the JEATH museum about 100 meters away from the steel bridge. Not on the same site.
