When you are in Bangkok just find the nearest travel agency and ask about the Bridge on the River Kwai tours. Some of them have side trips for Hellfire Pass.

Hi elton-c, Have a read of our tour to Hell Fire Pass, we have been twice, one good experience and one terrible one. I have read a few good reviews re this company and had emails from many who were not happy.

We did our own tour and it was easy to arrange.





Bus from BKK to Kanchanaburi (2hrs) and spend the day looking around town, take in the Tiger Temple if you wish. Great town, lots of museums and floating restaurants etc.





Next morning catch the first train to Nam Tok (end of the line). This train is designated as the school run and therefore cheaper rates. The rest of the trains are designated as tourist trains and run at an inflated price.





From Nam Tok there will be songthews waiting to drive you the last 16klms to Hellfire Pass. Make sure you take 500baht and passports for the free loan of the audio headsets at the museum. It really adds to the experience being able to listen to the Diggers as you walk the line. The museum is free entry but please leave a donation. It is one of the best museums that I have visited.





Return is via the same method. The last train leaves Nam Tok about 4pm and once again it is the school run. Very scenic trip along the banks of the River Kwaii and crosses ';the'; wooden bridge.

Happy %26amp; safe travels
