National pride displayed by the Thais.
The Jeath War Museum held several new paper clips, weapons, and other items that showed the hard times that many Allied soldiers faced during World War II. The displays depicted the trials and the hard times that the soldiers had t get through to finish the bridge, which was eventually destroyed during the war.
In another part of the museum, there were displays about the history fo Thailand and the many wars it faced against the Chinese, Burmese, and the Khmer. The country managed to bond togther at crucial times to protect what was theirs from the foreign invaders.
After the museum I decided to see the famous Bridge Over the River Kwai.
Honestly, the bridge wasn't impressive but it was more of symbolic for the people who knew soldiers or were relatives of those soldiers that survived and lived during that fateful day. The Bridge was touristy to say the least. There were a lot of people walking back and forth so it was hard to get a photo without anyone walking behind you or the shot you want to take. The Bridge Over the River Kwai and the museum are worthwhile stops for the history buff. As this was the last day I had in Thailand, I went back to my hostel to unwind and relax before my flight back home.It was an awesome 4 days and 3 nights in Thailand and I will definitely be going back. That wraps up my trip on November 10-13, 2012.
