Description
Escape Bangkok for a day of nature and history in Kanchanaburi. Visit Erawan Falls, the Bridge over the River Kwai, and the Thailand–Burma Railway Centre on a private tour.
Trade the busy streets of Bangkok for emerald pools, jungle scenery, and moving history on this full-day tour to Kanchanaburi. With a mix of natural wonders and cultural landmarks, it’s one of the most rewarding day trips you can take from the capital.
Begin with a scenic drive into western Thailand, arriving first at Erawan National Park, famous for its seven-tiered waterfall. Take time to hike through the forest, dip into refreshing pools, or simply relax by the cascading streams surrounded by lush greenery.
From nature to history, continue on to the Bridge over the River Kwai. This iconic structure played a central role during World War II and remains a poignant reminder of the past. Walking across the bridge allows you to reflect on its significance while enjoying the views of the river and surrounding countryside.
For those wanting a deeper perspective, your tour can also include the Thailand–Burma Railway Centre, a museum dedicated to the construction of the Death Railway. Through interactive displays and artifacts, it tells the stories of the prisoners of war and local laborers whose lives were forever changed.
After a day of waterfalls, riverside walks, and history, your driver/guide will return you comfortably to Bangkok, passing through scenic countryside landscapes along the way.
