- Today we took a train from Bangkok to Kanchanburi, home of the Death Railway, Bridge on the river Kwai and Erawan Falls. We had some local thai food at a local restaurant - including Fried Chicken and Chicken Cashew Nut, as well as some Thai Milk Tea, and went over our plans for the next few days in Kanchanaburi, Erawan National Park, and Sai Yok
Do you have any suggestions for things to do in Thailand?

Thanks for the intro to Kanchanburi. Looks like a lovely, quiet, local country town. Not sure if you planned it that way or not but the Death Railway and museum etc is timely with Anzac Day in Australia tomorrow.
Not being able to go travelling myself, I love watching your video's- makes me feel like I'm there. Thank you for sharing your adventures. So, well produced too.
I love this video Josie you have a bit of history, travel and food. Great to see the content you have right now its progressive and still fun to watch. I hope your back is ok. stay safe you and Michael
Thanks Pauline! I’m working so hard and waiting for a video to “break through” soon - maybe when we come to the Phillipines in a few months 😅😅
Can't wait for the next exciting video.
Thank you so much Konstantinos!! I appreciate the support so much! 😁😁🙏🏻
Don’t miss the Anzac Day dawn service at Hellfire Pass. It was my first ever and very moving, which I think makes you proud to be an Australian. Also many Dutch diggers have been buried at that cemetery. Lest we forget.
Absolutely - Lest We Forget. Our schedule didn’t allow for us to be there for the Dawn Service - but we went the day before Anzac Day. It’s in the current video out now 😀
Wow looks amazing! I must add Kanchanaburi to my trip 🥳🥳✌️
It’s so beautiful here!
I also went to Kanchanaburi last week and the weather there was sooooo hot! Hope you guys stay safe and hydrated na ka ☺️🤍
Oh my it was SO HOT. I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life 😂😩😩 I got a bad burn that’s coming off my arms now but other than that I’m ok 😂😂 I hope you were!
I stayed at the Sky resort where you had coffee and was there from Friday until yesterday.
I attended the dawn service at Hellfire Pass on Monday for Anzac Day as well.
Kanchanaburi should be visited and a visit to the Death Railway museum and the Cemetery is something that never ceases to move me.
Lest we forget
Wow small world huh! I totally agree, it was an extraordinary experience and it was surreal being connected to home in Aus somehow, from all the way here in Thailand. Thank you for watching, Lest we forget 🙏
There is an Award-winning hollywood film made in the 1960s starring William Holden called The Bridge Over the river Kwai, it's well worth watching. It dramatizes the death railway at Kantinaburri.😀
Michael has told me about that! He’s seen it I think, after today and tomorrow now that I’ve seen it I think I have to watch it now having been there and knowing more of the back story. What an amazing suggestion thank you! 🙏🏻😁😁
Kanchanaburi used to have a temperature of 47.2 degrees Celsius during the summer. But usually it's at 40 degrees.
which is perfect for visiting waterfalls
Oh I can’t wait to go to the waterfall now with the warmth, you’re so right. I jumped in the river this morning and it was beautiful 😍🙏🏻
@@josieliftsthings In the evening, you try to go to the railway bridge along the River Kwai. Good atmosphere at sunset and there are many restaurants along the river with great views. I think in Kanchanaburi trip the most you should do is rent a motorbike and have an adventure.
You may try floating hotel in the River Kwai , that really nice 👍🏼
Well we are actually there right now! Should be in the next couple of videos keep an eye out! 😁😁
สวัสดีค่ะยินดีต้อนรับ💕
Thank you for the nice welcome!
Visited Kanchanaburi with my friend in 2015 January. The weather was really lovely at night around that time. The most memorable thing was that we walked almost an hour looking for a restaurant recommended by Agoda but turned out it was still closed for the new year holidays. We were starving and we just decided to eat at this street vendor where they sold grilled salted fish, sticky rice with somtum, etc. But that food was so good that we kept going back there every single night during our stay there!
Haha that always happens doesn’t it! Thailand is so good for finding amazing food not on a map or a website! (And for saying somethings open when it’s not 😂)
Have fun Thailand welcome
Thank you! I love Thailand 😁😁
Black Spinel Gemstone very famous in Kanjanaburi Province.
Oh no we didn’t have time to go! Maybe next time, I’ll write this one down 😁😁🙏🏻 thank you
Nice experience 🇹🇭
Amazing town 😁😁
@@josieliftsthings Recommend next point to Ayutaya city you can go by train from Bangkok also 😃🇹🇭
This is a historical spot in Thailand, infamous for the Death Railway……where POWs and local people were forced to build this railway from Thailand to Burma (now Myanmar) my family was close to the late Uncle Ned Matson, an Australian Army POW, who was fortunate to survive this horrendous ordeal. Hats off to all the victims of the Death Railway!
I love this history thank you so much for telling me! Yesterday we went to the death railway and the museum and learnt all about that, coming up in a few vlogs time. Thank you for educating me!
RIP to all of the POW.
Your guys handing hot weather very good didn’t seem like bother your guys that much love 💕 and enjoy video very much Thanks 🙏 awesome 👍😃🤟
I think it got worse and worse for us! hahaha, I'm very very burnt now, it got very very hot 😂 🥵 Thank you for watching! 🙏
Like your work. Fellow Novocastrian in Chiang Mai.
No way! haha what a small world! Thank you 🙏 😃
Cashew chicken as ANOTHER favorite of mine! YUM! it looked tasty, but they have to work on the timing of food, right.! It's always brought out at different times! Sometimes I get my drink at the end! What! 😆
I feel like I need to eat more local Thai dishes because chicken cashew I think is very western Thai?? But I just can’t help it I love it so much 😂😂 it’s honestly the best. And one of the ones I know I can get not spicy! 😂
Michael warned me they come out when they’re cooked here not when it’s all ready but still, I was drooling waiting for it all 😂
Oh, and we didn’t even get the drink at all 😂😂😂
Kanchanaburi is one of the hottest province in Thailand. It's not the right time to travel here in the summer season even for Thai people. I'd like to recommend you go to the south of Thailand. It is the perfect time to travel to the islands and the beaches in the south.
It was SOOOO HOT hahaha it was uncomfortable actually so we have learnt that for next time! 😂 I want to go to the islands in the south as soon as possible! 😁
Have you visited Allied Soldiers Cemetary(including Astralian soldiers) there ?
Yes! In the next couple of vlogs I show it. Very surreal to see people from where we live in Australia. So sad
Love love love the vintage train. Don’t wanna get rid of them. Should have them restored back to their glory.
The train is pretty incredible!!
i follow you from tiktok amazing you are charming
Thank you so much for coming to my TH-cam family! You’re so sweet thank you! 😊💖
I hope you don’t miss the Hell fire pass, it’s a must-visit place.
We are here right now! Coming up in a few vlogs time. An amazing experience as an Australian to be able to have come here… wow.
@@josieliftsthings YES!!!!!!
should go to erawan waterfall
On the way right now! 😁
friend! super~splednid .
Thank you! 😁🙏🏻
If Thai people go to Kanchanaburi Thai people will choose to stay in a party house on a raft. or a room on the raft at Srinakarin Dam area which this dam is very large But if you want a beautiful view, turquoise water and surrounded by mountains like Khao Sok. You have to go to Thong Pha Phum District or Pilok in Kanchanaburi. You will be staying on a raft surrounded by nature. There is a small boat towing your home to explore the surrounding area. You might think that sleeping on a raft might be uncomfortable. but actually on that raft There are complete facilities for you. including internet, electricity, air conditioning, water heater You will be in the middle of a large lake. There are water activities for you to do. Both boating, swimming, sitting and sipping drinks,make BBQ And some accommodations will have a water park for you to play. Famous Activities in Kanchanaburi Most of them are water activities such as white water rafting. and many kinds of extreme activities. For Thai people if you are not staying on a raft That means you really can't reach Kanchanaburi.😁😁🙏🙏
Thank you for your information! It’s such a big area that we just can’t see it all in 3 nights - and maybe come back when it’s not so hot!
In the tropics u don't expose bare skin to the burning sun, u keep cool from the beating sun on your skin. I found that out the hard way. It feels like the sun is right at the arm's reach, at least that how it feels when the ray hit my skin. Very hot, super hot. I cover up nowadays when I go there.
Haha I try and get tan from the sun!!! But yes it can burn and be painful! 😩🙏🏻😁🫶🏻
😍😍😍
😁😁😁
4:45 I used to experiment with my friends to film “the spirits” in that veterans cemetery. No disrespect, just to prove either spirits exist. (We prayed to the veterans spirits before our experiment.)
So I chose the empty and darkest background on the graveyard. Made sure no telephone wires, house lights, street lights. It was right at 7 pm when I stood alone for my 2 friends took turn taking photos. (No iphone back then. It was decades ago.)
When the negative was developed….there were tons of “orbs” behind me. Like the glittering lights here and there from behind from both of my friends’ cameras.
My friends and I burnt the negative films right after. Never felt that scared before in our lives.
Wow! That is so spooky! I would have been running and screaming! 😲😲
KANCHANABURI and TAK are the hottest provinces especially during March - October .
Yes! So so hot!
Rice comes with cashew chicken i think.
What's the temperature there?
It was about 45c in Kanchanaburi
00:31 Guy on left side smiling like he’s won the lottery 😂
Sorry I haven't had the time to folliw You guys, my dad passed away and I had to take care of things here at home. How long are you and your husband staying in Thailand
Sorry for your loss - I’m sure your dad is proud of you for taking care of things. Stay strong.
We are here until October :)
Milo ice !!! 🤣😂🤣
There was far less in Kanchanaburi!! I'll have to have more now 😂
Are there a lot tourist in Kanchanaburi?
I saw quite a few but we were there over ANZAC day weekend so there were way more Australians and visitors than normal I think
What are the stay options
Stay options?? 😊
What was the name of your hostel and how much did you pay for it ?

@@arvindupreti1913 Thyme I believe it was? Maybe around $20? Quite hot for me but probably do-able if you don't mind it, but it is a very hot town!
Actually , with tourism opening up recently there is a rush , but usually this is the leanest period to travel Thailand . Best time to travel is October to February .But great to see that you are still managing in 40 + temperatures .
☕😃
😁😁😁🙏🏻
เที่ยวเมืองไทยให้สนุกนะครับ
I love Thailand! Thank you for watching 😊 🙏
Cashew nut ?
Chicken cashew nut :) has chicken and cashew nuts and usually a couple of stir fried veggies!
Information for you next vlogs don’t make mistake to pronounce the river Kwai, in Thai is “Kwae” not kwai.
Haha thank you, Australian accent 😂😂
There's no American remains there the remains of those that perished (under 170) out of the 600ish Americans used in construction were repatriated to the US.. The Majority are British, Dutch, Australian /NZ and assorted commenwealth troops
Thank you for the info! We saw some information about Americans in the mass graves in the area, but some of it was a little ambiguous as to where exactly that was. Thanks for letting me know 😀
❤️❤️❤️🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
😁😁
Every dogs love 7/11 😂😂😂
The street dogs are the best ❤️ 😆
We should learn history to prevent it from repeating. If you've ever seen that Jackie Chang's advertisement, stop buying (animals and some parts of animals), killing can too. I believe that if many countries stop buying weapons, killing will be less. Unless they were forced to buy, otherwise it would be intervened.
That is so true - it’s important to remember history as it shows us the pain we have caused each other. Never again. We see it now in Myanmar and Ukraine - hopefully peace soon/one day
ไปกาญจณบุรีไม่ได้ไปล่องแพถือว่าไปไม่ถึงนะ😄
ถูกต้องที่สุด🤣🤣
We sort of did!
