Leave the hustle and bustle of Bangkok behind you for a full day visit to Kanchanaburi province. While nowadays it is a popular destination for travelers all around the world, Kanchanaburi is steeped in the horrifying history of the Death Railway.
This full day tour is a perfect combination between history and nature with visits to the JEATH Museum, the Bridge on the River Kwai and Erawan National Park with its stunning waterfalls.

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS PER GROUP IS 10 PERSONS.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. JEATH War Museum
The JEATH War Museum is dedicated to the story of the men who worked on the Death Railway. The acronym JEATH stands for the different nationalities of the POWs that worked on the construction of the railway between 1942 and 1943: Japan, England, America, Australia, Thailand and Holland (The Netherlands). The museum displays the actual items that were used for the construction of the Death Railway and it exhibits a large number of photographs taken by prisoners at the time. One of the three galleries featuring photos is housed within a bamboo hut that’s an exact replica of the shelters that the POWs (Prisoners of War) lived in during this time. The museum is also home to a bomb dropped by the allies to destroy the bridge but that failed to explode. NOTE: TOTAL TIME IS INCLUDING TRAVELING TIME FROM BANGKOK TO KANCHANABURI
2. Bridge Over the River Kwai
The Bridge on the River Kwai was part of a strategic railway route to Burma in which the Japanese aimed to secure supplies with which to conquer other western Asian countries. It was 415 kilometres long and passed through the Three Pagodas Pass in Sangkhlaburi District, the northern most part of Kanchanaburi province. The Japanese Imperial Army brought the iron bridge from Java during the Japanese occupation of Thailand in World War II. It was then resembled by Allied Prisoners of War (POW) under Japanese supervision. Visiting the River Kwai Bridge and the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery encourages one to contemplate the intolerable treatment Allied prisoners of war, Thais, Burmese and Malayans were subjected to under the Japanese Imperial Army during the construction of the notorious Burma Railway, better known as Death Railway. The work on the railway was completed in 16 months, despite calculations by Japanese engineers that the construction would take at least 5 years!
3. Erawan National Park
Founded in 1975 as Thailand’s 12th National Park, the Erawan National Park is home to one of the most popular waterfalls in the country. The major attraction of the park is the 7-tiered Erawan Falls with emerald green ponds. The fall is called after the three-headed elephant from Hindu mythology as the top cataract resembles it. Here you have enough time for a refreshing swim right in the middle of the jungle or even walk to the top level of the waterfalls (if weather permits). Do not forget to bring swimwear and a towel. NOTE: TOTAL TIME IS INCLUDING TRAVELING TIME FROM KANCHANABURI TO BANGKOK

Fantastic trip to the River Kwai and Erawan waterfalls.
My guide Guanwisa ( known as Lisa) was superb. Picked up a very nice traditional place for lunch after insightful tour of the JEAT Museum and the bridge over the river Kwai. The second part of the day we hiked in the Erawan National park with some swimming in the waterfalls. I was lucky enough to be the only one on the tour so had an amazing VIP experience. Lisa pointed out number of plants around with a bit of insights of their use. She was also very attentive and ensured I had plenty of water and some awesome pictures.
Kudos goes also to the driver, Nuvo, who made sure I was comfortable. He used Likk for translation of more complex sentences which worked fine.

This is a wonderful day trip for anyone looking to get out of the city. History and nature combined,both the guide and driver were incredibly friendly and helpful. The trip is too short to get to the very top waterfall and have time for a dip at each level. I made it to level 5. For those wanting to see the waterfall at its peak, our guide advised November is the best time. Still stunning in the dry season though.

Very informative if you like ww2 history. The boat ride was fun. And then the waterfalls were stunning. But make sure you can climb the side of a mountain. It's all paved/ concrete but HOLY COW are there some straight up climbs! Couldn't have asked for a better guide!

Our tour guide, Lisa was great. Very informative and friendly. Worth the 3 hour drive from Bangkok and the hot, sweaty walk to the top of the waterfalls.
