Nice guide and driver. The JETAH museum is a must. Very moving to see what the prisoners had to go through. The ride on the boat and train were great. You'll have plenty of occasions to take beautiful pictures. Wasn't very hungry so I didn't have much food for lunch but it looked OK from what I saw. Because of the traffic in Bangkok, don't expect to be back before 6pm, a long but very rewarding day. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour, the guide Nicko very informative and knowledgable and looked after us at every turn. Very moving to travel where the POW's and Thai and other workers slaved to build the railway. "Forgive but not forget"

really excellent trip for anyone interested in this sad time. Definitely my favorite tour in Bangkok. Tour included visit to war cemetery near the bridge [very moving]. Local train surprisingly comfortable for 3rd class and lovely trip through the peaceful Thai countryside

Great trip. Cemetary was very moving and so was the JEATH museum although I would have liked longer here. 30 minute train trip about the right length - enough to give you a feel for it. Good lunch too. My only complaint was the transport which certainly wasn't a luxury coach. It was an old and very basic minibus that struggled on the hills and had no air conditioning. It provided a very uncomfortable journey (total of about 5 hours in the minibus). Other than that I would certainly recommend the trip.
