Kanchanburi, Thailand

You may have heard of the Bridge over River Kwai. This is it. Its famous because the Japs built the railway (to Myanmar) during WW2 to cut the Wests supply chain to China, and to access Myanmars oil, and because they wanted to control all of Indochina and rail was the first step. 100,000 POW's perished building it.

This, apart from Bangkok, is our last stop! Bye SE Asia, hello Tokyo!
