Day 1

Our three-day two night Kanchanaburi tour will begin when we collect you from your Bangkok hotel for your early start to this colorful market. An early start is essential as the drive to Damnoen Saduak is a little over one hour and we do not want to miss the colorful boats of this morning market. On the route to Damnoen Saduak, we will stop by at Mae Klong Train Market where you witness the market vendor’s goods set up across the tracks of a working railway line. Just wait and see the amazing scene unfold when the scheduled train passes through this market! Before Damnoen Saduak we will make a short stop at a wonderful little Home industry producing palm sugar. You can see the sugar being made as well as try some of the sweet candy produced from the palm sugar. At Damnoen Saduak you well board a privately chartered motorboat where we will travel some of the canals on the way to the market and you can get a glimpse of real canal-side life. we will disembark the boat at the market and you will then be free to explore the market, you can wander up and down the canals flagging down boats and vendors as you please, or take the paddle boat option where you can really get amongst the action on the canals. We will proceed to Kanchanaburi where we will take lunch and again we will board a boat on the river Kwai to get a closer look at the notorious River Kwai Bridge. We will then transfer you to your Kanchanaburi Hotel.

Day 2

We will collect you from your Kanchanaburi hotel and head to the informative Thailand Burma Railway Center Museum and tOne of the allied prisoners of war cemeteries. to learn about some of the history of the notorious Death Railway and the harsh conditions under which it was built. We will then board the train at the River Kwai Station. The train will make its way through the lush Kanchanaburi landscapes and you will cross many bridges which were constructed by the POWs during the war. At the end of the railway trip, our vehicle will be ready and waiting to take you to your lunch venue. After lunch, we will make our way back to Kanchanaburi with a stop off at Krasae Cave and you can have the chance to bathe an elephant and try your hand at bamboo rafting before we transfer you to your Kanchanaburi Hotel.
