Jaded Traveller: Bridge over River Kwai

We worked up early for a quick breakfast as the travel agent were coming at 7am to pick us up. Not many hotels we have stayed in serve Parma Ham for breakfast

We were headed to Katchanaburi in western Thailand to visit the Infamous Death Railway also known as The Bridge over River Kwai.First stop was the Allied War Cemetary

Our next stop was a privately run war museum. There was nothing much except for a few train carriages that were rusting away

We came across a booth next to the War Museum. It was the Katchanaburi Safari Park with two young Leopards. For a donation of 100 Bhat you get to feed the Leopard cubs

We were starving when we got back to Bangkok. We stumbled upon this Duck resturant called Prachak. It seems to be really popular with the locals so we decided to try the food here
