Death Railway Day-Trip Photos 3/3
Rather than wait for the twice daily train, we took the minivan to Thakilen to catch the regular service over an existing length of wooden viaduct built by prisoners.
55) Farangist pricing in action - 150THB for foreign tourists, can't remeber what they said the locals' price was but I think it was about 1/10th Farang price.

65) It's a good idea to secure a set, if you can, on the left-hand (port) side of the train. You sort of get a brief view of the viaduct as you approach on the left-hand bend. Everyone rushes over to the left to see and take pictures. I suspect there's healthy trade in the area of second hand cameras dropped over the side in the scrum...
