About this experience
Travel west from Bangkok into historic heart of Kanchanaburi, where memories of World War II echo along banks of River Kwai. This full-day private tour brings you face to face with one of darkest chapters in Asia's history, building of infamous Death Railway by Allied prisoners of war.
Guide and driver welcome you early morning for 3-hour journey westwards where city skyline disappears for rural Thailand. First pay respect at Allied Cemetery, final resting place of close to 7000 prisoners-of-war who perished during construction.
Visit Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, interactive museum with eight themed galleries. Short boat trip follows bringing guests to foot of famous Bridge over River Kwai, immortalized in film. Board local train over original parts of Death Railway offering scenic experiences.
Journey traces original tracks, museums, and war memorials. Local Thai lunch served before return to Bangkok around 5pm, arriving with moving memories of incredible resilience and loss.
