If you are a history buff or someone who appreciates the sacrifices of the military the bridge is definately going to be very interesting to you. Have lunch and enjoy the day, you can get there by train from Bangkok. To drive is like 2 hours in heavy traffic. I would not recommend it as just something to do, it... More
