Kanchanaburi 2

Kasae & cave woodeen Bridge

A spectacular section of the Death Railway running along side of the mountain side. Constructed by the local & allied POW's, this part of the railway has to be one of the most interesting sections still in commission today, crossing it by foot or indeed by train this wooden bridge is quite an engineering eye opener. You will hopefully also enjoy the great views offered by the mountain
& river scenery at this location. Nestled into the mountain side right besides the railway tracks you will find & explore the Krasae Cave. With several interesting Buddha images & rock formation these two sights are well worth taking the time to see & add to the over all fun & experience.
