Via River Kwai Bridge station
Saphan Kwae Yai station, located at the bridge over the River Kwai, is a small station at the eastern end of the bridge, about 3 km north of Kanchanaburi city center. All Death Railway trains stop here; the regular trains from Bangkok's Thon Buri station arrive around 10:37 am and 4:28 pm and then continue directly across the bridge towards Nam Tok.
This is the right stop if you want to see the bridge itself. The platform is just steps away from the bridge, the souvenir stalls, and the restaurants along the riverbank. The weekend excursion train from Bangkok's Hua Lamphong stops here for about half an hour to allow passengers time to see the bridge. Trains back to Bangkok depart at approximately 6:59 a.m. and 2:34 p.m.

Tips for visiting the transport sector
Always photograph any existing damage to the scooter before setting off and keep your passport safe – hand over a copy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; the police will fine you 500 THB for not wearing one, and accidents without a helmet will result in the loss of your insurance coverage.
