Three Pagodas Pass (Thai: ‘Darn Chedi Sam Ong’) is a pass on the Bilauktaung Mountains on the border between Thailand and Burma, at an altitude of 282 metres above sea level. The pass links the town of Sangkhlaburi in the north of Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand to the town of Payathonsu in Burma.
This pass has been the main land route into western Thailand since ancient times, and is believed be the point at which Buddhist teachings reached the country from India in the 3rd century. During the Ayutthaya period in Thai history (14th-18th centuries), the pass was the main invasion route for the Burmese, but was also occasionally used towards Burma by Thai armies. The three small, crumbling pagodas, or chedis, after which the pass is named, were probably built at the end of this period as a symbol of peace. They are now on the Thai side of the border. Parts of the border are still disputed.
During World War II, Japan built the infamous Death Railway on the pass. |

The cycle rickshaw (Thai: Samlor), being a small-scale local means of transport, is also known by a variety of other names such as rickshaw, pedicab, bugbug, cyclo, or trishaw. Cycle rickshaws are human-powered, often used on a for hire basis, equipped with one or more seats for carrying passengers in addition to the driver. Cycle rickshaws are widely used in major cities around the world and are usually found in major urban centers, tourist attractions, and events that draw large crowds. Many cycle rickshaws have replaced less-efficient rickshaws that are pulled by a person on foot.

Monitor lizards differ greatly from other lizards in several ways possessing a relatively high metabolic rate for reptiles and several sensory adaptations that benefit the hunting of live prey. Recent research indicates that the varanid lizards including the Komodo dragon may have very weak venom. The discovery of venom in Monitor Lizards, as well as in agamid Lizards led to the Toxicofera hypothesis that all venomous reptiles share a common venomous ancestor. Almost all Monitor lizards are carnivorous. |

Wat Arun is well known as the temple of dawn, however it is also beautiful at night with a long exposure making the water of the Chao Phraya river very smooth. The outstanding feature of Wat Arun is its central prang (Khmer-style tower). Steep steps lead to the two terraces. The height is reported by different sources as between 66,80 m and 86 m. The corners are surrounded by 4 smaller satellite prangs. The prangs are decorated by sea shells and bits of porcelain which had previously been used as ballast by boats coming to Bangkok from China. Around the base of the prangs are various figures of ancient Chinese soldiers and animals. Over the second terrace are four statues of the Hindu god Indra riding on Erawan. |
