I like to be a tourist police

[@snoopingpuppy8392]

Did it , loved it … paid my respect at Memorial Cemetery and signed my Dad’s name. Three uncles, all Marines who saw brutal action in Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal … Dad in Korea. Couple of emotional moments …

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you to your family for their Service and sacrifice.

[@TimFink_Trump2024]

Thanks to your family who made the sacrifices.

[@robertamcmunn3642]

What a lovely man the volunteer was and a great asset to tourists. That was a lovely and peaceful vlog guys.

[@roberthaas2857]

Love the vidio. Not only did you show the Railroad. But also the true Thailand. Beautiful people and country. I have planned a trip to see later this month.

Has a special place in Australians hearts the death railway. Many Australians died in that place. RIP

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Sad that so many suffered and lost their lives there.

[@geoffreyrossi6162]

Beautiful scenery!

[@benlee6500]

Amazing bridge over the River Kwai built decades ago, good to see a foreign national double up as tourist police...he certainly dressed like one, bravo 👏 😀 Joe & Gift really enjoy yourself there....regards from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤️

[@antruok4950]

Nice footage , enjoyed the views from the train - certainly looks worth a visit a significant area . Many Thanks Joe & Gift 🙏

In the early 1970's, my best friend and I, we were around 12 or 13 years old, took the train from Hualamphong Station in BKK to Kanchanaburi for a day trip to visit the river. Our parents approved of our master plan since we both spoke Thai fluently and it wasn't so far. However, in our minds we wanted to go to 3 Pagoda Pass on the Burma border but the train didn't go that far. We arrived in Kanchanaburi and immediately went to the river...we saw the movie 'Bridge on the River Kwai' and tried to understand what we were seeing. We immediately went down to the river and found old railroad spikes buried in the sand in a small island in the middle of the river (at the time the river level was low). We collected quite a few and my friend still has his to this day. Unfortunately, we lost track of time while we were playing in the river and the train crossed the bridge to return to BKK. We ran after it and it departed before we could catch it. We ended up taking the bus to BKK and convincing the bus driver to take us for free since we spent all our money on the train ticket...two farang kids speaking fluent Thai was quite entertaining I guess...that was the last time I was there...great video and memories

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

What a lovely story. Thank you 🙏 for sharing.

[@searchingforsonder]

The tourist Police officer seemed like a great guy! Good for him for staying active and giving back to the community!

[@simonfarrow1585]

Great video thanks. As you are ex-military I'd like to strongly recommend the Hellfire Pass Museum. It really tells the story of what Allied soldiers had to endure in building the railway. Although it is very sad and emotional it is also a beautiful and respectful place honouring fallen military personel. I hope you have time.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Next video.

[@richarddetriquet9642]

Did you visit the war cemetery? That is a very humbling spot to say the least. It puts all of our minor complaints in perspective.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

We visited both the museum and cemetery on our first visit to Kanchanaburi about 3 years ago.

[@minniec.9127]

I walked the bridge, visited the cemetary and museum many years ago, a must do when visiting this place. Very sad time in history.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Sad indeed.

[@stewartgrant7724]

HI Joe & Gift Thank you very much for this great Video It seemed like you all had a great day on the Death Railway & Krasae Caves and what great scenery you had on that journey and what great history value inside those caves again thank you for sharing.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

I did the other end of the line , where the museum is it was one of the most moving things I have seen in my life , thanks for bringing back some fond memories Joe,

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

[@smartbiz888]

One of the things I love about living in Germany for so many years is seeing history in person, on the ground, and live. In Thailand, there is a lot of historical sites and events that will be nice to see. I have stuck to the normal touristy areas but look forward to doing trips like this one you two are making... In The PH it's pretty much the same...I've worked on projects there and have visited some of the main tourist areas (I.e. Cebu, Boracay, etc.)... Anyway... Thanks for sharing this trip and have a great day! It's a holiday in Dubai today (51 years as an independent country) so taking a bit of time to watch your video and reflect on what's to come... Cheers! 👍😎👍

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Enjoy your holiday.

[@unclecraigbaannawk]

Very cool….last time we were there was after getting married in Bangkok…my mom and her husband were here for the wedding and we there…he loved it…after walking through the war museum he was in tears….very special place indeed

Hello Joe and Gift, I walked across that bridge and back it was 42C being steel it radiated the heat like you would not believe I did a "PERISH'. I will be doing the full ANZAC railway trip in April on the 25th and the ANZAC service at the war cemetery, if you get the chance go and have a look, it will be very moving. 10 / 10 Keep Well, Stay Safe, my friends.

Boom and I got on the Train at the station back a ways , On the right BY the bridge at the bottom is a Restaurant that we enjoyed -You Might check it out and a beer across the bridge next to the army trucks ! Randy + Boom.

[@TommySeiger]

Very cool video joe! I've seen tourists police in patong Phuket before but not there in Kanchanaburi . Interesting. I want to go back there and ride the train and check out Hellfire pass. I didnt have enough time last time i was there. I did check out two war cemeteries and the war museum near where you boarded the train. both were really eye openers and emotional.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Very emotional indeed.

[@papapepe2232]

Hi Joe and Gift 👋 Enjoying the content because we share many of the same likes, the travel, meeting and talking with people. I have to say though It's clearly not just a generational thing that we enjoy so much of same things. I believe it's more about ignorance and envy that people, haters, and trolls spew the toxicity they do. They hide behind a computer screen, never seeing daylight and leave their houses to go out and talk with neighbors. I was lucky enough one to live next door to one 😒 I would like to think that we could be friends, you, Chuck, James, and many others like you living the dream. Maybe someday meet with one another 😉 BTW Daz has a great sense of humor. Great guy to have around 🙂

Next time take a trip up to Hellfire Pass to experience what the native population, allied prisoners and Japanese army experienced to build this railway. Many died on all sides from disease and malnutrition. A person died for every railway sleeper laid to form that railroad. Hellfire pass is a small cutting in solid rock the rail line goes through, cut by hand with hammers and chisels. For people today it remains a demonstration of the futility and complete waste of any war. We have to be capable of better than that!

[@ajarnsteve1958]

Hi Joe, gift and all. I have done that trip 3 times since being in Thailand. I loved the train ride, but obviously time and progress has removed much of the original surroundings that would've been there !!! As i remember much of the route is farming now and very little jungle remains !!! I thought you might of shown some footage of the original wooden structure that the track runs on, where it hugs the rocks. Did you go to the memorial gardens? They're beautifully kept and at the same time a very sad memory of the truth of it all !!!

Quite an experience. Mixed feelings about the railway as many Aussie POWs died building that line. Nevertheless it’s worth doing for the history and the scenery. What did the train ride cost?

100 baht for foreigners.
