It takes about 2.30 hours to reach there, and a short stop for unavoidable matters or a coffee break on the way is possible.

Kanchanaburi is in the north-west of Bangkok and is a mountainous, rainforest, and riverine province. Part of it shares a border with Myanma (formrly Burma), especially the well-known border pass “Dan Chedi Sam Ong” which means Three pagoda borders pass.

Not only has the province been well-known for its natural beauty, World War II Memorial Sites, the former ancient Khmer Kingdom-occupied city, and the discovery of pre-history human settlements, but there is also one of the best elephant sanctuaries located here.

The first stop is at the War Cemetery, the biggest one, which contains approximately 9,000 remains of prisoners of war who died of decease or were tortured during the construction of the “Death Railway.”

Next, a 10-minute drive to visit the River Kwai Bridge, which served as the inspiration for the film “The Bridge Over the River Kwai.” During World War II, 1942–1945, POWs built this structure.
