Kanchanaburi is Thailand's third largest province and a region of arresting scenic beauty. The magnificent landscape and charming beauty of Kanchanaburi have resulted in major tourist attractions including several well-known waterfalls, caves which were once inhabited by Neolithic man, pristine national parks, tranquil rivers, virgin forests, and reservoirs. Together, they offer an intriguing experience for first-time or repeat visitors. Whether it's fishing, rafting, canoeing, mountain biking, bird-watching, star-gazing, golfing, elephant and jungle trekking, or even living in bamboo rafts, Kanchanaburi takes pride in offering them all. However, it is most famous for being the location of the notorious Death Railway and the Bridge on the River Kwai, two of the world's most famous World War II sites, and which have been immortalized in print and film.
Take this trip and learn about the war-torn history of the famous River Kwai in Kanchanaburi.
