The tragic death of a foreign tourist in Kanchanaburi province has recently attracted public attention. A traveler fell off a train while trying to take photos of the Death Road scenery. This case became a reminder of the tragic events that took place on this railway in the past.
Death Road was built during World War II by the Japanese occupation forces. This road was built to transport troops and supplies from Burma to Thailand. The construction conditions included brutal methods and practices that eventually led to the deaths of thousands of prisoners of war and workers involved in this project.
These days "Death Road" is very popular among tourists coming to Thailand. Tourists can travel by rail and visit national parks with their dense jungles, waterfalls and limestone caves.
January 25 in Pattaya there was a major fight between motorcycle taxi drivers because of customers. According to Thai media, motorcyclists wearing orange caps attacked competitors who were taking orders from the Bolt app outside the Arcadia Beach Resort at 7 Soi Thappraya in South Pattaya.
