THAI040901
June 29, 2004
(My apologies for missing a couple days last week. In my defense, I was a bit busy, planning a proposal to my amazing girlfriend which was happily accepted!)
Today's image comes from the 3rd class train from Hellfire Pass back to Kanchanaburi, Thailand. The countryside was beautiful, mostly small family farms with limestone mountains in the distance draped with jungle canopy. The 3rd class was really the best way to travel on this leg, as there was no air conditioning, but the windows opened all the way up. And the wooden benches, which might be a little uncomfortable for some, provided ample room to stretch out and gaze at the greenery rushing past.

This train also crosses the infamous bridge over the River Kwai
(Interesting note: the river was not originally named Kwai, but was a
tributary of the Kwai. However, the movie made the river so popular,
and every tourist was demanding to see the bridge over the river Kwai,
that the government changed the official name of the river to match
the movie. Crazy, huh?). Enjoy.
