Kanchanaburi, capital of Kanchanaburi Province, is home to the Burma Railway (aka "Death Railway") bridge built by Allied POWs during WWII and immortalized in Bridge Over the River Kwai. A memorial and two museums commemorate those who died in the effort, and a yearly carnival includes a pyrotechnic recreation of the bridge’s bombing. The wider province offers forests and caves to explore, and beautiful waterfalls.

We have two girls who wanted to come to Thailand for a while. They wanted to work with Elephants, so we spent a full day at Elephants World; an amazing place that was founded by a veterinarian who dedicated the last 10 years helping elderly and injured elephants who were mistreated by humans. We joined the daily routine of over 40 elephants, helped with preparing food, fed the older ones and the adorable babies... and enjoyed joining them during their daily swim at the river. Meeting these giant creatures from up close helped us understand how beautiful and gentle smart and sensitive animal they are! 2500bht per person. They provide lockers and there is a shower you can use at the end of the day and a great lunch. But most importantly- staff here is just FANTASTIC!

We did a private tour through Viator. Private Tour: Thai Burma Death Railway Bridge on the River Kwai Tour from Bangkok. This is a great way to visit this important area. We had a lovely guide, Tum, who was both attentive and knowledgeable. It is a 2 hour drive there and back so it is a chance to view outside Bangkok. The war cemetery is a somber yet beautiful place. We had a great river trip to the bridge and an hour train trip over the bridge and beyond. Followed by a magnificent thai lunch in a local village.
10. Bridge Over the River Kwai
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 4,255 reviews
Allied prisoners of war during World War II were forced to build the 258-mile Death Railway by Japanese forces. About a hundred thousand conscripted Asian labourers and 16,000 prisoners of war died on the whole project.
Reviewed By Delomo - Townsville, Australia
We were a family of four visiting Kanchanaburi and this famous bridge over the River Kwae where a Great Uncle was imprisoned and died building the bridge. We never knew him. It was a thoughtful walk over it and back, by day and by night. The tragedy and loss of war occupying our minds at this time but what they endured impossible for us to imagine. The site is beautiful with the handsome iron bridge stretching over the river, the market stalls around and the cafes and restaurants nearby from where one can enjoy the view. I am glad we came to this spot in Thailand that holds a piece of Australian history.
