What You Can Expect from Kanchanaburi And River Kwai One Day Tour From Bangkok

Travel back in time to see the world-famous bridge on the River Kwai, built during World War II by prisoners of war, near the town of Kanchanaburi. Learn about the construction of the infamous Burma Railway(Death Railway) at the poignant JEATH War Museum. Kanchanaburi is a provincial town full of lots of painful history back in the time of World War II when Japanese forces torture Allied prisoners and laborers to build a railway to Myanmar. This nightmare was told in Pierre Boulle’s book and also was filmed in The Bridge Over the River Kwai and the 1957 movies.

Today, everything has changed, yet there are still memorials and museums in this town where we can see the old track of the event in the war, and many roads in the town center are named after many countries that were involved in the conflict. But, the town itself is crowded and alive surrounded by fields planted with tapioca, cane, corn, and sugar along Mae Klong River. Experience the wonderful sights of many attractions and you can feel joyful among local people living by Mae Nham Kwai (River Kwai). Make an unforgettable trip in Kanchanaburi, just 130 Km away from Bangkok. More Sightseeing Tour From Bangkok.
