Bridge Over the Kwai Museum

[Spr.Earl]

The new Museum is open!
I have been there and donated but before the new museum.
If you get a chance to get to Thailand go ride the railway and see the the item‘s left behind.

This is great. I‘ll be going to Thailand soon. I didn‘t know about this and my grandfather was one of the prisoners who built that bridge. Thanks for the info. Cheers!

I‘m hoping to be living there by then. I was actually hoping to be there by now but my house isn‘t selling as fast as I had thought it would. Can‘t wait to get to Thailand though.

NM,
Were about‘s in Thailand,Bangkok?
Lot‘s of Ex.Pat‘s living in Bangkok.
Renting in Bangkok is very exspensive!!!

If I get over there and you get there we should meet up in O‘Riely‘s on Silom Rd. for a pint or two.

Nope. Southern Thailand. Nakhon Si Thammarat. If you do go, send me an email and I‘ll make the trip up to Bangkok for a drink. I‘ll probably need a few days in the "big city" by then.
