Description

Discover Kanchanaburi’s moving WWII history and scenic countryside on a private full-day tour from Bangkok. Enjoy hotel pickup, travel in comfort by air-conditioned vehicle, and take in views of rural Thailand along the way. Begin at the Bridge on the River Kwai, one of Thailand’s most iconic WWII landmarks. Walk across the historic bridge, admire the river views, and hear your guide share powerful stories of its dramatic past. Pause for a riverside lunch overlooking the bridge for an authentic local experience. Continue to the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, the resting place of thousands of Allied POWs who lost their lives building the infamous Death Railway. Reflect on their sacrifice in this peaceful setting. Next, visit the Tiger Cave Temple, a hidden gem of Kanchanaburi. Perched on a hilltop and crowned with a towering golden Buddha, the temple offers breathtaking views of emerald rice fields, the winding Mae Klong River, and limestone mountains across the countryside. Travel onward to the Hellfire Pass Memorial, where you’ll walk through a preserved railway cutting carved from solid rock by POWs under brutal conditions. Hear moving personal stories and gain a deeper understanding of the courage and resilience of those who endured. After a day filled with history, culture, and unforgettable scenery, relax on your return journey to Bangkok.
