Day 1

DAY 1 - BANGKOK - KANCHANABURI, River Kwai: War Museum, Allied Cemetery, Train Ride, Prasat Muang Singh. (L.) 240 Km

Meet the guide at around 06:30 and depart for Kanchanaburi, with an estimated arrival at around 09:30. Start the visits.

Kanchanaburi is a city in western Thailand, famous for the Death Railway built during World War II. The line crosses the Khwae Yai River via 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.

At 10:45 - Board the train for a scenic ride 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 crawl as it crosses the precarious-looking bridge known as the Wang Pho Viaduct. A wall of rock towers stands a short distance to the right, with a sheer drop to the river and phenomenal views to the left, another highlight of the journey.

After lunch, visit the Prasat Muang Singh Historical Park, where we find traces of the once-thriving Khmer Kingdom 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. Subsequently, the temple was abandoned until the reign of King Rama I, when the Mueang Singh area became one of Kanchanaburi's border towns. The restoration of the structures, however, was not completed until 1987.

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

At around 15:00, transfer to the hotel. Check-in. The rest of the evening is at leisure.

Day 2

DAY 2 KANCHANABURI: Erawan National Park - BANGKOK (B.L.) 260 km

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel. Meet the guide around 08:30, and we will head out for a visit to Erawan National Park. Upon arrival at the Erawan Falls, we will start our exploration. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes suitable for a short trek and bringing your swimsuit and towels. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant or as a takeaway. Erawan National Park holds significant importance as one of Thailand's major national parks. Located in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, the park has received numerous accolades, the most prestigious of which was the award in the natural attractions category at the sixth Thailand Tourism Industry Awards in 2006. Here you will discover the largest and most picturesque waterfall in Kanchanaburi, the Erawan Waterfall, which flows from the mountain 2,100 meters above sea level, originating from the Huai Mong Lai River. The waterfall extends for a length of 1,500 meters and comprises seven levels, each of which offers a spacious and safe area for swimming and relaxing. Additionally, you can take a 30-minute walk along the Erawan Nature Trail to appreciate the beauty of the lush evergreen hills and deciduous forests. Around 15:00 - 15:30, we will start our journey back to Bangkok, with an estimated travel time of 3-3.5 hours. Subsequently, you will check-in at the hotel for an overnight stay.
