Boat Trip River Kwai and Erawan Falls Full Day Tour From Bangkok

Leave the hustle and bustle of Bangkok behind you for a full day visit to Kanchanaburi province. While nowadays it is a popular destination for travelers all around the world, Kanchanaburi is steeped in the horrifying history of the Death Railway. This full day experience is a perfect combination between history and nature.

The JEATH War Museum is dedicated to the story of the men who worked on the Death Railway. The acronym JEATH stands for the different nationalities of the POWs that worked on the construction of the railway during WO II: Japan, England, America, Australia, Thailand and Holland (The Netherlands).

The Bridge on the River Kwai was part of a strategic railway route to Burma in which the Japanese aimed to secure supplies with which to conquer other western Asian countries. Visiting the River Kwai Bridge encourages one to contemplate the intolerable treatment Allied prisoners of war, Thais, Burmese and Malayans were subjected to under the Japanese Imperial Army during the construction of the notorious Burma Railway.

Founded in 1975 as Thailand’s 12th National Park, the Erawan National Park is home to one of the most popular waterfalls in the country, the 7-tiered Erawan Falls with its emerald green ponds.
Here you have enough time for a refreshing swim right in the middle of the jungle or even walk to the top level of the waterfalls (if weather permits).

Meeting point:

WanderSiam office in Chao Khamrop Road, opposite the ‘Tai Hong Kong Shrine’ and ‘Phlapphla Chai 2 Police Station’ (for taxi: สถานีตำรวจนครบาลพลับพลาไชย).
