Description
Explore the historic sites of the Mueang region on a full-day guided tour from Bangkok. Learn about the POW camps during World War II, visit a cemetery, and examine exhibits at the JEATH Museum. Ride a long-tailed speedboat, walk across the Bridge on the River Kwai, and take a train ride along the Death Railway. Start your day with early hotel pickup and head toward Kanchanaburi Province. Along the way, listen as your guide shares stories about the POW camps during WWII, and stop at a cemetery where 6,000 prisoners are interred. At the nearby JEATH War Museum, maintained by the local monks, learn about the harsh realities of war and observe mementos that were left behind. Afterward, head upstream along the Mae Klong River in a long-tail speedboat towards Bridge 277, the infamous Bridge on the River Kwai that inspired the book and movie of the same name. Walk along the bridge, check out local street markets, and then climb aboard a train to travel along the Burma Railway. Also known as the Death Railway, this section of track is particularly known for its dangerous construction, built along the edges of cliffs and through deep sections of forest. At the end of the day, disembark the train and take a walk to reach a nearby restaurant where you can discuss the day's experiences over a delicious Thai lunch. Enjoy a wide selection of Thai specialties, ask your guide questions about any sites you visit, and then catch a comfortable return ride to Bangkok.Includes
