    • For many people that would have been the trickiest question. What a good job it is that we don’t all know the same things – it would make quizzes like this much less interesting!

    • I checked this carefully, because one source I saw said that it was in Burma. However, it is definitely on the Thailand tourist trail. I suppose the term “the Burma railway” is the problem.

      • I had no doubt that you had carefully fact-checked. It just goes to support one of my oft-used adages while raising my kids, “Just because you’re sure doesn’t mean you’re right” 🙂
