In the bus terminal building, they didn't yell to you guys at all. They just said the name of bus-bound provinces out loud in front of the bus ticket booths. ❤❤

[@mikeandashley]

We realized that a few minutes later. 🫣😅

[@riffraff8426]

As an Australian I was particularly moved emotionally visiting Kanchanaburi and the cemetery, museum and Hell Fire Pass. I loved this vlog thank you for the respect you showed when visiting those places. Such a lovely place to visit.

[@mikeandashley]

Oh wow, we can imagine! Such an emotional, heavy past. We really enjoyed learning about the events here and at Hellfire Pass. We never knew we were as into history, let alone war history, as we seem to be. It was absolutely a place we feel should be highlighted. Thank you for watching. Have you seen our video on Hellfire Pass? I’ll leave the link here in case you are interested. ☺️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKqufJSFn8eKb7csi=Tj0QVfBJB4HRBst2

Such good attitudes !! Love watching your travels

[@mikeandashley]

Thank you so much! We're happy you enjoy our videos. 🥰♥️

[@ทวิชสกุลธร]

They did not yell at you guys. They yelled "Ratchaburi" which is a destination if you want to go to Ratchaburi you have to go toward her. Another destination Nakorn Pathom. They speak very loud so that their customers know where to get the ticket to that particular destinations. It is a kind of marketing ways like Japanese Izakaya.

[@mikeandashley]

That actually makes a lot of sense now that we know, but it can be a bit jarring when you have no idea what is going on. We thought we trespassed or something. 😅

[@dontaylor203]

great video,nice one..I've been a few times to kanchan i found best way is by train from thon buri BKK ..fantastic scenery..then from kanchan to nam tok...and onto Erawan falls (dont miss it)

Even though there were obstacles, you guys got through it. and still able to continue traveling Thank you for coming to Thailand. and thank you for eating Thai food And thank you for sharing a good clip.💗💗

[@real_MacrocosM]

It isn't that it's called Kwai Yai.. it is definitely called River Kwai. It's just that there are 2 branches that converge right there in Kanchanaburi, one called Kwai Yai (Yai means 'big') and another called Kwai Noi (Noi means 'small')... In fact, from that point, pretty much where the bridge is down to the sea near Samut, it's called 'Mae Klong'. •• My great-grandfather is buried in that War cemetery that you visited.. And there's actually a shot there where Ashley is walking towards the front of the cemetery about four rows back on the left and believe it or not I think she would be Do almost directly in front of his exact grave. It was either there or 1 alrow further. I can almost walk there with my eyes closed

[@mikeandashley]

Oh wow, that actually makes so much sense! 🙏 Thanks for explaining that. And wow, how crazy. That makes it feel like such a small world. The cemetery is laid out very beautifully and super well maintained. We really enjoyed our time in Kanchanaburi. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏

Pad Kraprao that you have, Thai people usually order 2 plates of rice and share that. This is why you've gotten a very big portion. If you ordered rice with Pad Kraprao on top, it would be around 50 baht. What you ordered was Pad Kraprao (80 baht) and a plate of rice (10 baht). You will get too big portion for one.

[@mikeandashley]

Ohhhh, good to know! We thought the portion was rather large by Thai standards. Makes sense now. 🤣

Sai Yok Waterfall is one of the most breath-takingly beautiful waterfalls. Highly receommend to visit if you are in Kanchanaburi. However, currently it is rainy season, and it makes it may be dangerous if there is a hard rain. If you go there, should be becareful and follow the officer's instructions.

[@mikeandashley]

We had a chance to go, but we were a bit pressed for time. We’re kicking ourselves now that we missed it. 😅 Thanks for watching!

Hellfire pass👍 … white elephant mountain peak trail 👍… Pilok old mine, Glen’s house, at etong village at Thailand-Myanmar border. 👍

[@mikeandashley]

Thanks so much! Hellfire Pass will be our next vlog! We rode the train there and back. It was epic!

[@rovingmelody]

@@mikeandashley Etong village is 24 hours mist covered in Rainy and cold seasons. Auntie Glen’s house ( Somsak mining) should be one night there (need 4x4 p/u truck hiring to ascend/descend), good vibes with her nice cakes and cookies. The white elephant peak trail is unseen destination with spectacular view along the way, with overnight camping experience at top. Opening Nov-Feb, requires booking at Thong Pa Pume (district) national park office, due to limited no. of tourist per day. If you take north to Sangkhlaburi (district), you ll experience the “Mon” tribe villagers and their way of life a long the river. Good vibes at the Mon bridge too.

[@mikeandashley]

That sounds amazing! If we’re here during the right time, we will have to check it out! Thank you so much for the information. ☺️ You know so much about the area. ☺️

What they shouted in front of the ticket office was Names of provinces that are destinations Which is the name of the province that the passenger wants to go to There are both government and private bus companies. which has been yelling like this for a long time In fact, for Thai people, when we hear shouts, we will immediately know that hey, my destination. Tickets can be purchased right here. may seem shocking to tourists But those ticket salesmen do things that Thai people generally find travel channels easier.

@@mikeandashley Kanchanaburi in the summer is very hot. This year the temperature reaches 40+ degrees. But it is also a province with abundant forests. No wonder during World War 2. European prisoners of war endured the harsh climate here, and at that time there was also a very high concentration of malaria-carrying mosquitoes. and here i think It played a part in many deaths during that time.

[@mikeandashley]

It did. So many. We learned all about it in our trip to Hellfire Pass. So hard to fully comprehend.

[@arrukkikrina2755]

@@mikeandashley I searched for information on Thai hospitals about malaria patients on the border of Kanchanaburi and other nearby provinces with a 370-kilometre border. including nearby patients from Myanmar who came for treatment in 2013 It had 9196 infections and 6 deaths. Most of them happen to people who like to explore the forest and lack protection. Kanchanaburi is famous for its forests, gems, wildlife, World War II gold and malaria. This is one aspect of Thai tourism that does not alert tourists. which I don't think is correct.
