About 11am we got the boat back down the river to Pakeseng and had our lunch at a restaurant by the river. We then got back on the coach and travelled for about 15 minutes to Nam Tok station. Here we caught the Death train which travels on the remaining 130 Km of the track from the Thai-Burma railway.

The scenery from the train is amazing and it still goes across the original wooden viaduct built in 1943. The train journey was just over an hour and then it was a long coach journey back to Bangkok.

We arrived back at our hotel around 6pm and went and had a buffet at the hotel. The food was amazing especially the desserts. We then watched some TV and called it a night.
