🇹🇭 The sad story about Thailand's Death Railway (Kanchanaburi)

[@carlcochran2327]

Thank you for the tour of the bridge. One of our training films recommended years "The Bridge over the River Kwai. The British POW's were ordered by their Japanese captors to construct a bridge of strategic importance. It was interesting to see all the real-life tour you provided that added more detail they couldn't provide in the movie. Thank you so much.

[@NakedWanderings]

Glad you found it interesting Carl! Lots of British have lost their lives during the construction of the railway in the most horrible circumstances. We've seen pictures of those who survived and they didn't look much different than survivors of concentration camps

[@yorukkizigeziyor]

Very beautiful video ☺

[@NakedWanderings]

Thank you very much!

[@yolandarobertson9154]

A very interesting video, I was there about 5 years, very emotional to walk through there, also visited the Arawan falls, great for relaxing! Thanks for sharing all your experiences with us!

[@NakedWanderings]

Glad you enjoyed it and we hope that we brought back some memories!

[@charlieedwards-ks6ry]

Thanks for a great video. As a military history buff I never thought I'd find such an informative video from a naturist source. Well done in sensitively covering such a sad chapter in our history. Keep up the good work.

[@NakedWanderings]

Glad you enjoyed it! On this channel, we’re covering more than just naturism. Just like when we travel, we don’t stay inside the naturist resorts all the time. We like to do other interesting stuff and share it with you!

[@TheBartman47]

Thanks for including local history like this of the areas you're visiting.

[@NakedWanderings]

For us, traveling is more than sipping cocktails on a nude beach (although that's very important too 😁). So we try to share different aspects of the places we visit

[@alaurasia1882]

A very interesting video! I’m a history buff, especially about WWII, but didn’t know this story! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@IwasInThe60s]

Same here. Out of the thousands of hours of documentaries I must have watched (and hundreds of books I have read) about WWII over the years, I tend to stop at VE day. I do not know as much about the war in the East as I should.😞

[@NakedWanderings]

Some stories are awfully well hidden, and it takes some traveling to find them. Or some youtube watching, of course 😁

[@NakedWanderings]

The Germans made such a mess that we often forget that other countries were trying to do pretty much the same

[@CH0lbach]

It was really interesting- so glad you showed it. My dad fought in the Asian part of the war so I loved seeing this.

[@NakedWanderings]

Great to hear that you enjoyed watching it!

[@bobburgess9330]

Very interesting and well done, Nick & Lins. Thank you from Canada.

[@NakedWanderings]

Thanks Bob!

[@richardrourke9278]

Thanks for doing this video. It was interesting and informative.

[@NakedWanderings]

Glad to hear you enjoyed watching it!

[@marliynbruyns5861]

Very interesting information. Did not know about it. Thank you very much Nick and Lins from South Africa.

[@NakedWanderings]

We imagine that few people know a lot of what went on in Asia during WWII. Except for historians and the people who suffered from it

[@luis_rato]

Thanks again for another great video. Keep safe anda have FUN!!! 😊

[@NakedWanderings]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@empret7704]

Interesting, hope you find more stories 😊

[@NakedWanderings]

So do we 😁

[@wallyvandenberg9899]

Thanks for the history lesson. We learnt only a little of this in our schooling.

[@NakedWanderings]

Same here, we often tend to forget that it was an actual world war and not a European war

[@wallyvandenberg9899]

We possibly learnt a bit more here in Australia with respect to it being a world war, but your coverage was enlightening. Thanks again. Keep up the great videos and enjoy your travels. Cheers.

[@stevo747400]

We travelled on the train to Kachanaburi 2 weeks ago and visited the bridge, Hellfire pass and Erawan national park. Would have been really cool to have met you guys there. Love your videos and have found them quite inspiring, now become regulars in Playa Vera.

[@NakedWanderings]

We must have just missed each other! Maybe one day in Vera 😎

[@willmills1388]

Very interesting history travel lesson, thank you!!!😊

[@NakedWanderings]

Great to hear Will!

[@lassepalmberg8130]

Very interesting video from you 👍👍

[@NakedWanderings]

Thanks!

[@annelouise6120]

Thank you for the awesome informative video

[@NakedWanderings]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed watching it

[@stevepryce6776]

Such an interesting and stunning video. Could almost feel the heat 😅 Just the sort of excursion I would have done. Looking forward to our next trip with you. Beach and sea ??

[@NakedWanderings]

Glad you enjoyed it! As things look now, in the coming weeks we'll take you more into history, nature, and great naturist places. But beach and sea is definitely on our itinerary as well!

[@leonwagenaar4479]

You guys are awesome, taking us along and allow us to dip into real interesting local history. Along for the ride! Texas greetings after a 10 day Cape Town visit

[@NakedWanderings]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikesutherland6595]

TNX for the reminder to come back and visit The Bridge over the River Kawi,

[@NakedWanderings]

[@thierrybraundetermeeren3660]

Hi ! Thank you for this very interesting video. As a Belgian living in the Philippines, I like all what concerns the history of Asia.

[@NakedWanderings]

Thanks Thierry!

[@phily4084]

Beautiful. 👍👍❤️

[@NakedWanderings]

Thanks!

[@TSevandhiAFernando]

The movie about this bridge and the story of it was filmed in Sri Lanka. For your information. Take care and stay safe. Best regards Sevandhi from Sri Lanka

[@NakedWanderings]

It was filmed in different places in Asia

[@Michael00000001]

The whole area at this time of season (dry season) is pretty sad ... all the jungle almost dead. Was pretty disappointed years ago.

[@NakedWanderings]

Yeah, that’s the difficulty with south-east Asia. It’s either dry and dead, or green and rainy

[@Michael00000001]

@@NakedWanderings Islands in the south look nice in dry saison, too - same as waterfalls in Laos - and Malaysia anyway (a quick shower almost every day).

[@silviogreter3741]

Been to the Hell Fire pass a few times, with the train 😎

[@NakedWanderings]

When we were there, the train to hellfire pass had quite awkward timings, going by bus was just much more convenient

[@silviogreter3741]

@@NakedWanderings The train ride is very impressive, with the old bridges and the views over the river, or the other option is with a scooter and stop at the waterfalls and enjoy some people watching 😇

[@IwasInThe60s]

There was also the later 1977 movie called "A Bridge too Far". kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGeyaaWCjadqh8k 😎

[@NakedWanderings]

Thanks for the tip!

[@marat2]

Hello. Do you like dairy products such as kefir or milk? Yes, I used to drink kefir every day, but lately I rarely buy anything.

[@NakedWanderings]

We're not big fans of milk products, except for yoghurt and latte's 😁
