What you can expect

Private tour of Kanchanaburi, located 130 km west of Bangkok. Visit the War Cemetery, River Kwai Bridge, and Hellfire Pass Museum. Optional train ride and lunch at the waterfall.

Our day begins with a pick-up at your hotel in Bangkok by our knowledgeable and friendly guide. After a brief introduction, we will set out on a scenic drive towards Kanchanaburi, a place of historical significance during World War II.

Our first stop will be the War Cemetery, also known as the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery. Here, we will pay our respects to the over 6,000 Allied prisoners of war who lost their lives during the construction of the Thailand-Burma railway. Our guide will share with us the stories of the prisoners of war and their bravery, as well as the history of the railway construction.

Next, we will visit the iconic River Kwai Bridge, a steel truss bridge that spans the River Kwai. This bridge is not only an architectural marvel but also holds significant historical value as it played a vital role in the construction of the railway.

For those who will select the option “Standard Private Tour with Train ride & Lunch at Waterfall”, after learning about the bridge's history, we will hop on the train and embark on a unique journey along the historic Death Railway. Our train ride will take us through breathtaking scenery of towering cliffs, lush greenery, and glistening rivers. We will disembark at Sai Yok Noi Station, where we will indulge in a delightful lunch next to the cascading waterfall, enjoying the serene and tranquil environment.

For both option “Standard Private Tour” and “Standard Private Tour with Train ride & Lunch at Waterfall” after lunch, we will visit the Hellfire Pass Museum, a tribute to the prisoners of war who worked on this section of the railway. The museum showcases the struggles and sacrifices made by these brave men during the construction of the railway, and we will walk through the cutting at Hellfire Pass to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges they faced.

As our day comes to an end, we will we drive back to Bangkok. Reflecting on the day's experiences, we will arrive in Bangkok with a newfound appreciation for the history, culture, and beauty of this fascinating province.

This tour will be a memorable and educational experience, and it will undoubtedly leave you with a lasting impression of Thailand's rich history and cultural heritage.
