Kanchanaburi: What to see in the surroundings?

What our travelers think about their stay

Romain Beuvart

Seasoned Traveller

Kanchanaburi is a place famous for its bridge over the River Kwai and its dark past concerning the building of the "death railway" during World War II.

My suggestion

The tour by train is very touristy but does give you excellent views of the surrounding countryside.

It is possible to reach to Kanchanaburi by train from Bangkok, which is a very convenient way to get there.

Kanchanaburi, located in the centre of Thailand, is famous for its 'Bridge on the River Kwai.'

My suggestion

Don't just visit the bridge however: take advantage of the area's wonderful countryside too!

The magic of Pha Taem, north of Khong Chiam

The Khong Chiam region is still largely unaffected by tourism and, for those willing to explore it, offers spectacular scenery and the promise of peaceful days spent well away from the noise and chaos of the urban environment. With its waterfalls, cliffs and rock paintings, Pha Taem is the kind of place you simply never tire of exploring.
