Wang Pho Viaduct<\/p>\n
This stunning piece of railway engineering, a wooden trestle bridge clinging to the side of a cliff, overlooking the Khwae Noi River, was built by Allied prisoners of war and Asian labourers under Japanese rule during WWII.<\/p>\n
Spanning around 400 meters it was constructed in just 17 days in 1943 by prisoners under brutal conditions.<\/p>\n
More than 100,000 lives were lost during the construction of this Thai-Burma railway.<\/p>\n
Tham Kra Sae cave is a natural limestone formation right next to the railway line. During the war, it was used as a shelter and camp for Allied POWs and Japanese soldiers.<\/p>\n
Now, a place of reflection. Quite moving!<\/p>\n
