  • You will be picked up at your hotel at 7 am. After a good drive, we are outside of Bangkok and the beautiful and lush landscape is starting to show. We are close to Kanchanaburi, which is the name of this glorious province. Here we start off visiting the Allied War Cemetery from World War II; a memorial for for 6900 Allied prisoners who died during work on the railway. We also make a stop at the Thailand-Burma Museum, which offers a good historical insight. We continue to the world famous “Bridge over the River Kwai”, where it is time to walk across the bridge and absorb the atmosphere in the area surrounding the bridge. We will also have lunch here.

    After lunch we continue in a longtail boat down the river to visit the beautiful Wat Tham Sua with its spectacular views over the surroundings. We also take a short stroll in the nearby village to see the local life.

    We arrive to our cosy jungle hotel in the afternoon. There will be time for a swim before dinner is served. In the evening, enjoy yourself in the surroundings at the Jungle Resort.

  • We start the day with a solid breakfast before we continue to Hellfire Pass – one of the places on the railway that caused the most deaths during World War II. Here we will visit an impressive museum before we make our way down the trench.
    The laborers had to dig two trenches through solid rock to give way for the line and the work was ongoing 24 hours a day.
    During the night, when the place was lit up artificially, it resembled the entrance to hell. The laborers soon referred to the place as “Hellfire Pass”, a name which has remained.
    From Hellfire Pass luckily it is not far to paradise; the beautiful Erawan Waterfall, an hours drive away. The waterfall is astounding with its seven levels. It takes a bit of work to reach all seven levels, but bring your bathing suit, as it is possible to take a dip several places along the way. Definitely a winner – especially for the kids.
    Late afternoon, we will drive back to the jungle hotel, where of course it will be possible to swim even more. You are on your own for the rest of the evening.

  • After breakfast, we start by taking a drive to the elephants. It is not a River Kwai trip without a ride on the enormous animals, an experience you cannot go without. It is a fantastic feeling, getting up on an elephant. It is surprisingly high up and immediately you will be amazed by their gracefulness. However, it is also nice getting down again, as you will not be comfortable for too long on an elephant. The 45 minutes on the back of an elephant are quite appropriate.
    We continue down the river by bamboo raft through a beautiful landscape. Enjoy the rippling water, the jungle on both sides and the quietness only being disturbed by a few birds singing.
    Next will be the sound of a train conductor whistling as we board the train towards the “Death Railway”. The railway was constructed under horrific conditions by the Allied prisoners of war in Japanese captivity during World War II. The hour-long train ride along the river goes on tracks that sometimes seems to be glued to the steep cliffs – a truly significant experience with many beautiful natural settings.
    We end up where we started a couple days back – by “The Bridge over the River Kwai”. Full of experiences, we head back to either Hua Hin or Bangkok arriving around 7 or 8 pm.
