Kanchanaburi (River Kwai)







Kanchanaburi’s inhabitants are largely engaged in agriculture, and are mostly of Thai ancestry with notable Mon and Karen minorities.  It  is the site of the world famous Bridge Over The River Kwai, immortalized in books and movies, and is noted for rugged natural beauty where mountains and river valleys have inspired development of hydroelectric power and where labyrinthine dam reservoirs provide further scenic elements to the province's natural beauty.

Kanchanaburi unfolds in progressively arresting scenic beauty in a landscape characterized by several waterfalls, caves once inhabited by Neolithic man, national park and tranquil reverie and reservoir settings. Opportunities abound for bucolic living aboard rafts on dazzling rivers and reservoirs, and provide the focal point for memorable holidays for nature lovers who delight in natural surrounding and pleasures without sacrificing basic comforts.
 
 

We can arrange any combination of the following tours:


The Bride Over the River Kwai

International famous, the black iron bridge was brought from Java by the Japanese supervision by Allied prisoner of war labor as part of the “Death Railway” linking Thailand with Burma. Still in use today, the bride was the target of frequent Allied bombing raids during 1945, and was rebuilt after the war ended. The curved spans of the bridge are the original sections.
 
 
 


War Cemetery

Opposite the Railway Station, about 1 kilometer from town, it contains the remains of 6,982 war prisoners who lost their lives during the construction of the “Death Railway”.
 
 
 
 


JEATH War Museum

JEATH stands for Japan, England, America, Australia, Thailand and Holland. The museum inside Wat Chai Chumphon has been constructed largely in the form of an allied prisoner of war camp. The thatched detention hut with cramped, elevated bamboo bunks contains photographic, pictorial and physical memorabilia dating from the Second World War.
 
 


Prasat Muang Singh


 

The historical park is located on a steep bank of the Kwai Noi River where the waterway narrows and becomes fast flowing. The Khmer Prasat Muang Singh influenced architecture toward this part of Thailand during the late Lopburi period some 700-800 years ago (16-18 B.E.).
 
 
 
 



Lawa Cave


 

About 50 meters from the riverside of Kwai Noi, 75 kilometers away from provincial town. It is the biggest interesting  cave of the are and the stalactites and stalagmite are so wonderful and peculiar by nature creation.
