To the left, Kran is off to a lovely
breakfast at The River Kwai Hotel.
Stone figures, depicting workers from some 100 years
back. |
 |
 |
Truckload of basket on the road.
Kran and Martin relaxing outside the cemetery. |
 |
 |
Tough, Thai cop awaiting the princess
arrival. She is the granddaughter of the present king in Thailand.
The Military Cemetery we visited. |
 |
 |
The greens living up to the main center
of the cemetery. A close-up of the
main cross. |
 |
 |
Some wise words from a present day
Australian soldier. Row and rows
of graves gave a profound impression of sadness. |
 |
 |
The inscription on the main memorial of
the military units whose members died during WWII.
A lone tree on the cemetary. |
 |
 |
A lot of confusion of the princess'
arrival. Plenty cops. Kran's car
at the railway crossing. |
 |
 |
The princess' train is crossing the
street on its way to the River Kwai.
Martin on the River Kwai itself. |
 |
 |
The floating restaurants below the river.
The bridge towards the other side. Martin walked across,
Kran not. High heels. |
 |
 |
Long tail boats below the bridge for the
tourist trade. Another detailed
view of the Burma side of the bridge. |
 |
 |
Martin and Kran on the bridge.
I was quite dangerous to walk across and a little boy
fell trough the cracks. |
 |
 |
The bridge seen from below.
Towards the other side. |
 |
 |
Kran and Martin had a nice Thai lunch on
the floating restaurants. A
wedding boat passed bye. Loud Karaoke music could be heard.
There is a 25 Mb clip of this boat. |
 |
 |
Martin's big River Kwai shrimps ended a
lovely visit full of impressions. |
