Kanchanaburi

Kanchanaburi province can be visited on a day trip from Bangkok but is well worth extending for a few days exploration. Along with the fascinating history of the Thai-Burma railway construction of the River Kwai Bridge there is a wealth of nature-based activities can also be enjoyed – including mountain biking, trekking, canoeing, bamboo rafting, longtail boat rides to a traditional village and visits to a local temple.
