06:30 Meeting with the Guide and Departure for Kanchanaburi, with arrival expected around 09:30. Start of visits

Kanchanaburi is a city in western Thailand. It is known for the death railway, built during the Second World War. The line crosses the Khwae Yai river through the Death Railway Bridge. Exhibits at the JEATH War Museum honor the prisoners of war who died building the bridge. The Thailand-Burma Railway Center explores the wider history of the railway. Nearby, thousands of allied soldiers are buried in the Kanchanaburi war cemetery.

10:45 - Boarding the train for a scenic route, up to Tham Krasae. Stop for lunch, and time to visit the area with the Tham Krasae Bridge next to the cave of the same name. In this area the train slows down at a walking pace as it crosses the precarious looking bridge known as the Wang Pho viaduct. A wall of rock towers is a short distance to the right, with a drop overhanging the river and phenomenal views on the left, another highlight of the trip.

After lunch, visit the Prasat Muang Singh Historical Park, here we find traces of the Khmer Kingdom, once flourishing, in one of the best known religious structures in Thailand. Historians have estimated that Prasat Mueang Singh, and its surrounding architecture on the bank of the Kwai Noi River, were built between 857 and 1157 as a religious temple of the Khmer kingdom. Later, the temple was abandoned until the reign of King Rama I when the Mueang Singh area became one of the border towns of Kanchanaburi. The restoration of the structures, however, was not completed until 1987.

The main remaining structure is Prasat Mueang Sing itself (the Tower of the City of Lions), a Khmer-style architecture with influences from the arts of Lop Buri. It is framed by city walls of 800 x 1,500 meters. During the excavations, historians found valuable artifacts, antiques, ceramics and religious ornaments with over 2000 years of history.
