- The province of Kanchanaburi is about a 2.5 hour drive to the west of Bangkok. It’s easily accessible by road or rail and is a must-visit for anyone interested in an authentic Thai experience filled with cultural, natural, and historical attractions. Kanchanaburi city, located on the confluence of the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai rivers, is a great base to explore the region from. In this video, we highlight 6 fun things to do in Kanchanaburi:

6. Visit the Death Railway
The Death Railway is a sad part of Thailand’s history. Originally called the Thailand-Burma Railway, it was constructed during World War II by prisoners of war and enslaved civilians under Japanese occupation. Over 100,000 laborers died during its 16 month construction because of inhumane conditions. Today, you can walk or take a train across this bridge as well as learn more about it at the Death Railway Museum or JEATH War Museum. You can also visit the nearby Kanchanaburi War Cemetery.
5. Stroll around the night market
Wherever you go in Thailand, you are never far from a night market and Kanchanaburi is no exception. Located next to the Kanchanaburi train station, this night market sells just about anything. It’s a great place to spend an evening sampling Thai cuisine, from a range of rotis and coconut-rice pancakes, to fresh juices, fried rice and noodles.
4. Visit the colorful temple Wat Tham Suea
One of our favorite temples in all of Thailand is located in the heart of the Kanchanaburi province. Set amongst stunning scenery, the Tiger Cave Temple is located on a hilltop and can be reached by a set of stairs or a small tram. Inside the temple, you can see a massive Buddha image and several chedi’s that are divided into different floors. The orange chedi offers the most incredible view of the Buddha below. But be aware that the temple is still very active, so be respectful at all times.
3. Visit the narrow cave temple Wat Tham Khao Pun
Another sacred site worth visiting near Kanchanaburi town is the limestone cave temple, which used to be a concentration camp during World War ll. Inside the cave, you can find 9 rooms that are connected by narrow passageways. Besides buddha images, you can also find a room where they illustrate the history of Kanchanaburi during the second World War. After visiting the temple, you can walk down the road and take in a beautiful view of the river and mountain scenery.
2. Relax and watch the sunset over the river
A nice peaceful thing to do in Kanchanaburi is to simply relax on the banks of the river during sunset. Many hotels, restaurants, and bars in Kanchanaburi are located along the river's edge, offering some breathtaking evening views.
1.Spend a day at Erawan waterfalls
The Erawan Falls are located about a 1.5 hour drive or bus ride from Kanchanaburi town. In the park, you can follow a scenic hiking trail to the different levels of the waterfalls, and some of the turquoise pools are a lovely spot to take a refreshing swim.

Thanks, this video and guide is so awesome!
Good video. Thanks for informing about Kanchanaburi.
The bridge is a rebuild the original was destroyed kanchanuburi is definitely worth a visit plenty to see and parts very relaxing and beautiful
Great channel! Love the documentary style, rather than just showing your faces like how many other channels are like. Lots of interesting information and lovely videography
Another great video, thank you!!!! We really like that you show each location on a map, it helps to mentally position where everything is. We noticed you do it in all your videos which we really appreciate it. We also like that you do some less travelled destination where it is not as busy! Well done!
Thanks! 🤩 we appreciate the kind feedback! 👌
Thanks man , wij gaan morgen naar kanchanaburi bedankt voor de tips 💪🇧🇪
Veel plezier!
This channel , will have a bright future
Thanks!
I love Thai ❤️
I am surprised you did not include Hellfire Pass and make more mention of JEATH museum. This should be on anyones itinerary if visiting Kanchanaburi
Hi Guys Excellent video.
Nice pin drops brilliant let's you see where the sites are.
Enjoy your travels.
Regards John .
Thank you!
The River is called "Kwai" and not "Khwae" as in the caption.. I saw the Old Eglish movie "The Bridge on The River Kwai" in Mumbai in the Eightees! During my recent trip to Bangkok I could'nt make it to Kanchanaburi as took a trip to Pattaya. Maybe the next visit will try. Thanks for the Video Bro..
Thanks for watching!
hello! if i may asks, what is the name of the riverside restaurant u went to see the river sunset as per the video?
don't remember the exact one! but there are so many to choose from... just drive down the riverside and pick the one that looks the best!
Nice video. Kanchanaburi is pronounced kan tan aburi. I live there
Thanks for the clarification!
Im thai, i pronounce Kan-cha-na-bu-ri. That's correct.
The Thais will say.. Kan-ta-naburi...@@annieann7717
Veg jain food avilabel sir
Can you eat by the waterfall?
I don't think it's allowed to bring food up there. ONly at the lower sections of the waterfalls.
But you need to focus in your self-video recording
Why you need life jackets to swim at a waterfall lol
The rules of the park unfortunately…
.Estoy aquí en kanchanaburi y no hay mucho que hacer la verdad. La ciudad no es bonita en sí. Ver el río y el puente. Y poco más. Erawan está lejos de aquí también. No es para tanto. Parece que han tomado dos o tres temas turísticos para potenciar el turismo. Yendo para el río desde la ciudad me metí por una calle con muros y me encontré con 20 perros callejeros mirándome sin mover la cola y me volví.
Mucho humo.
Too bad you're not enjoying it there! we loved how authentic Kanchanaburi was. But the waterfalls are definitely a highlight... you can take a bus from the town
