KANCHANABURI

KANCHANABURI is the third vastest province of Thailand Kanchanaburi covers a surperficie of 19 485 square kilometres (often mountainous) and skirts Myanmar (Burma) to the west of Bangkok.
The town of Kanchanaburi owes all glory with the legendary bridge of the Kwai river. The Japanese would have ordered to the allied prisoners and to the other Asian workers to build this "bridge of dead" during the Second World war to connect Thailand to Burma and to prepare thus the invasion of the British Indies. This history was made famous for the book of Pierre Boulle the bridge of the Kwai river. Its reading is thus essential to prepare the visit, it will enable you to confront your impressions of the reading with reality. The neighbourhoods of the bridge became a tourist paradise overflowing of memories pointing out the unforgettable bridge. It is even possible to take the train which crosses the current bridge. You can continue your voyage while exploring the landscape, formerly a difficult jungle of access. The amateurs of the history will seek to discover one of the museums which ensure the visitor to tell "the right story of the death railway". However, some of them chose to enrich them account of military stories which have nothing to do with the place - why not to supplement the history by some portraits of Hitler or Stalin to attract more tourists? The historical pilgrimage is prolonged by a walk in the town of Kanchanaburi where several cemeteries of war point out the 7 000 victims of the bridge.

The thunderbolt is not instantaneous. It comes gradually and deserves bus to enjoy the beauty of the place, length is the way. Length, but pleasant. At one hour of road in the North-West of Kanchanaburi, the cascades of Erawan hide in a thick layer of tropical vegetation which cover the broken relief with this part of the national park of If Nakharin.
Once last the step of the station of the foresters, nature delivers without concession its charms. Intact. The arranged ways guiding the visitors until curiosity, of did not spoil anything the splendour of the forest. And if the contemplative ones endeavour to preserve this quality, environment their returns well. After small fifteen minutes of walk, with the turning of a tree, proba- blement centenary, an enclave in the dense greenery lets appear the first falls of water long - and high succession of basins. The spectacle is enivrant and the call of irresistible water. The bathe, at the beginning chocolate eclair, is transformed quickly into festival in the honor of nature and what it offers to us. Most courageous warn themselves to go up the cascade until its origin. Good idea! The adventure is long and somewhat difficult, certainly but without comparison with happiness that it get .
The fine botanists locate without sorrow of the species of trees, plants and plants in any kind which make of this place a place of exception that the savage animals come to press (birds, monkeys and even of the tigers).
