Private Kanchanaburi Tour: Hot Spring & Death Railway
Full description
This is a 12-hour experience from Bangkok, built around Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, Burma Railway and Kanchanaburi. 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 Travel insurance for all participants, Private transportation with professional driver, Entrance fee to Rock Valley Hot Spring & Spa, Ticket for the Death Railway Train ride and Pickup and drop-off at your Bangkok hotel.

Traveler Reviews
Really enjoyable day, would recommend allowing as much time as possible to go in the fascinating Death railway museum before the train journey. Our driver and guide Mr Nut was very knowledgeable helpful and professional. A really great day out.
Picked up promptly at 07.00 from our hotel. M was a very pleasant and friendly chap. He was a careful driver in a good and comfortable Mitsubishi SUV. Drive to the cemetery at Kanchababuri took 2.5hrs with convenience stop. Commonwealth war graves cared for cemetery was beautifully maintained. Half an hour stop was sufficient, although I would have liked to visit the nearby museum as well. Short drive to the station and train journey. Pleasant 1.5 hour trip through the Thai countryside watching largely agricultural scenery pass by. Lunch stop in way to hot springs. While I was a bit sceptical
Keng was a fantastic guide. We had a great time. It’s a long day so be prepared but well worth it. Bit of history and time to relax
Nope was a brilliant guide. he put us at ease straight away. He was a fantastic driver, kept us informed we had a fantastic day.
Our guide San was amazing and very funny!! Fab time… well organised.. brilliant tour.. thank you!! We were very lucky as the hot spring was very quiet after lunch .. so had a very pleasant and relaxing experience. San took some great pictures of us!!
The whole day was magnificent ..Our driver/ guide Pongsan was absolutely fantastic. He is really the best driver/ guide anybody could wish for
Super fin - mr Moo talte måske ikke meget engelsk… men han gjorde et godt forsøg og gjorde alt hvad han kunne for vi fik en god dag… og det lykkes… en dejlig tur med både oplevelser og varme kilder
Activité très émouvante. Il faut avoir visité le musée avant pour bien s’imprégner de la tragédie. Notre chauffeur et guide a été aux petits soins. Il sait exactement où nous amener pour profiter des meilleurs spots où peu de touristes s’aventurent. Et la gentillesse avec. À recommander
la guide kat etait parfaite Nous avons tout aimé (le pont ,le train ) Nous avons adoré les sources chaudes nous etions seules a faire le differents bassins dans un environnement a couper le souffle Nous avons moins apprecié le memorial car nous nous sentions pas concerné ni tres a l aise mais cela reste qu un avis personnel on aurait prefere la visite d un temple
War eher teuer für Autofahrt ,Stop am Friedhof, Brücke am Kwai und 1 Stunde Fahrt 3.Klasse mit dem Highlight des Viaducts auf den letzten 500 Metern. Mittagessen war ok aber auch nicht schlecht . Thermalbad haben wir uns erspart weil es bei 35 grad im Schatten völlig ungesund währe
très bonne journée, avec détente dans les bains chauds locaux pour ce détendre en fin de journée
PongSan, notre guide, a été très professionnel et agréable. Il nous a donné plein d’explications et a pris sont temps avec nous. Au top Super activité, les sources chaude sont bien et le voyage en train est agréable.
