It is known for the Death Railway, built during World War II. 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 Centre explores the broader history of the railway. Nearby, thousands of Allied soldiers are buried in the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery. 10:45 - Board the train for a scenic journey 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 to a walking pace as it crosses the precarious-looking viaduct known as Wang Pho Bridge. A wall of rock towers is located a short distance to the right, with a sheer drop to the river and phenomenal views on the left, another highlight of the journey. After lunch, visit the Prasat Muang Singh Historical Park. Here we find traces of the Khmer Kingdom, once thriving, in one of the most well-known religious structures in Thailand. Historians estimate that Prasat Muang Singh, and its surrounding architectures on the banks 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 Kanchanaburi's border cities. However, the restoration of the structures was not completed until 1987. The main remaining structure is the Prasat Mueang Sing (the City of Lions Tower), an architecture in Khmer style with influences from the arts of Lop Buri. It is framed by city walls of 800 x 1,500 meters. During excavations, historians found valuable artifacts, antiques, ceramics, and religious ornaments with over 2000 years of history. Around 15:00 Transfer to the hotel. Check-in. Rest of the evening at leisure.

DAY 3: AYUTTHAYA - BANGKOK: Ayutthaya Historical Park (B.L.)

Departure on a private basis at about 07:30.

Meeting with the Guide and departure to discover the Ancient Capital of Thailand of Ayutthaya, with its UNESCO World Heritage Site Historical Park. Founded around 1350, Ayutthaya became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai. It flourished from the 14th to the 18th centuries, during which it became one of the largest and most cosmopolitan urban areas in the world and a center of diplomacy and global trade. Ayutthaya was strategically located on an island surrounded by three rivers that connected the city to the sea. This site was chosen because it was above the Gulf of Siam tide as it existed at the time, thus preventing the attack of the city by maritime warships from other nations. The location also helped protect the city from seasonal floods.

The city was attacked and razed to the ground by the Burmese army in 1767 which set the city on fire and forced the inhabitants to abandon the city. The city was never rebuilt in the same location and today it is known as a vast archaeological site.

Lunch is served in a local restaurant. Arrival at the hotel in Bangkok or at the airport around 16:30 - 17:00.
