TOUR ITINERARY
Just a three-hour drive from Bangkok lies a stark juxtaposition: the stunningly beautiful province of Kanchanaburi, marred by a dark history of sorrow and despair. After starting your tour in Bangkok, take a journey to the past on the historic "Death Railway," a legacy of World War II originally built by Allied Prisoners of War. The railway, which runs across the famous Bridge over the River Kwai, is named for the thousands of prisoners who lost their lives while constructing this link between Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before visiting the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, home to the remains of those who died during the railway's construction. Then, wrap up your tour with a visit to Hellfire Pass, a dramatic part of the railway that literally cut through a mountain. Walk down into the valley to see the cut in the rock from below, before exploring the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum, which tells the stories of human suffering at the hands of this engineering feat.
