Full description

This is a 12-hour experience from Bangkok, built around Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, Kwai Yai Bridge and Bridge Over the River Kwai. Your place is held with the operator before we treat your booking as final.

Kanchanaburi, 130 kilometres west of Bangkok, is the bridge over the River Kwai and the Death Railway, built by Allied prisoners and Asian labourers for the Japanese army in 1942 and 1943 at the cost of more than 100,000 lives. The bridge, rebuilt after wartime bombing, still carries a train that runs on to Nam Tok along the cliffside Wampo viaduct, and the war cemetery and the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre museum in the town are the places to understand it. Hellfire Pass, 80 kilometres further, is the cutting the prisoners dug by hand, with a walking trail and an Australian-run memorial museum. Erawan National Park's seven-tier waterfall is the other reason to come, with swimmable emerald pools up a 2-kilometre trail.

The price covers Hotel pick-up and drop-off, Private transportation, licensed guide, All entrance fees and Bottled drinking water. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Bangkok. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date before treating your booking as final. If the date cannot be confirmed we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
