Kanchanaburi Holidays
Soak up the sleepy spirit of riverside life, explore historical landmarks and swim in one of Thailand’s most wow-factor waterfalls.
Kanchanaburi is home to the infamous Bridge on the River Kwai and one of the most iniquitous stretches of the Death Railway where over 100,000 workers and prisoners of war lost their lives during WWII. For visitors wanting to learn more, there are war cemeteries and museums as well as a humbling train journey that passes by some of the former POW camps.
Although there are reminders of a grim history here, Kanchanaburi is a beautiful city. You can hop on longtail boats and paddleboards to glide across the river, spend weekends at the lively night markets and evenings at pretty-as-a-picture riverside restaurants. An hour’s drive away, Erawan National Park’s Eden-like evergreen forest is a huge attraction, especially its dreamy seven-tiered waterfall which gives way to swimming pools of milky-blue waters.
Ready to explore nature at its best and places lost in time? Get in touch today for a tailormade holiday to Kanchanaburi.

Sightseeing transfer - Kanchanaburi to Hua Hin
As you travel between your Kanchanaburi city hotel and Hua Hin (or vice versa) you can save valuable holiday time by stopping at some of Thailand’s popular attractions along the way. Watch the market traders at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market where they jostle for position to sell their produce from their boats or see how quickly the stall holders at Rom Hub Market lift their products as a train squeezes through the track-lined stalls. Alternatively, you can make a stop at Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park at Phetchaburi, famous for its 40-metre high pagoda overlooking the city. Travel is in an air-conditioned vehicle.
