In 1998 I was in Kanchanaburi and made the following photos. All aboard! I love traveling by train, especially in Thailand where it is like traveling in time. It is like an open-air museum. Not only the trains itself but especially the train stations. They look like they have not changed since they build the first railroad lines in Thailand in 1889. I made a serie of train stations under the tag TRAIN STATIONS. Let's visit them before they all will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
This are photo of Kanchanaburi main station and Nam Tok end station, all photos are probably made in 1998 when I took the train from Kanchanaburi to the end station Nam Tok. This is the world famous death railway build during WorldWar 2 by POW and Asian labour under Japanese military supervision. Originally this railway did go all the way to Burma (Myanmar).
If you are planning to travel in Thailand and need help with planning then feel free to send me a email at The Little Elephant in Thailand.
