Our day started out with a group ride that left Bangkok 0720 arriving at River Kwai about 0900. The tour begn with a brief stop at a Veteran's cemetary where we paid our respects to those who served. This was followed by a self guided (45/60 minute) tour of the Railway and War Muesum which give us a few moments to walk along the railroad and sneak a peak at the shops before quickly boarding the train. The 2 hour enjoyable and memorable train ride took us to Nam Tok where we ate family style lunch overlooking the river. After eating we paid an additonal 200 bahts per person to enjoy a relaxing river ride (which wasn't promoted) and should have been longer than 20 minutes (but it was nice just the same). It began to rain but that didn't damped our spirits we were eagerly awaiting our final stop, Sai Yok National Park. The waterfall was small but refreshing to see, not sure of the size of the actual park whereas we were only alloted 30 minutes to explore before heading back to Bangkok. Looking back, lunch should have been in a different location, the itineray should have been explained clearely but overall the train ride was the most memorable and enjoyable.
