Kanchanaburi Holidays discover historical sites, swim in one of Thailand’s most wow-factor waterfalls, and absorb the lazy attitude of river life. Among the most inhumane sections of the Death Railway were over 100,000 workers and prisoners of war who perished during World War II. The famous Bridge on the River Kwai is located in Kanchanaburi. Anyone eager to learn more can tour war graves and museums or ride a modest train over several former POW camps. Kanchanabiri is a lovely place even if there are signs of a terrible past here. You may spend weekends at the vibrant night markets and nights at lovely-as-a-picture riverfront restaurants, then get on longtail boats and paddleboards to float over the River. Erawan National Park’s Eden-like evergreen forest is a major draw, particularly its lovely seven-tiered waterfall, which leads to swimming pools of milky-blue waters. It is one hour’s drive away.
