Itinerary

  • Kanchanaburi War Cemetery

    Our first stop of the day is to the War Cemetery, where thousands of allied soldiers now rest in peace. The well-maintained site is a place to reflect on those who lost their lives, while the exhibits tell a story of what happened here all those years ago.

    1 hour

  • River Kwai

    We’ll walk along the famous Bridge over the River Kwai (boat visits optional).

    30 minutes

  • River Khwae Bridge

    Walk along the famous Bridge over the River Kwai

  • JEATH War Museum

    We follow the story to the JEATH Museum, just around the corner from the famous Bridge. Its exhibit displays a stunning collection of memorabilia, as well as “writing on the walls” in the form of murals and written accounts that creatively unpack the wartime history.

    40 minutes

  • Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea)

    We’ll then head to the Tham Krasae Station, a picturesque railway section that snakes around a cliff, where we’ll admire the views, see the train pass.

Highly Recommend the River Kwai tour with Ohm

Published on Jan, 2025

I give this tour with Ohm a 10 Star rating. My tour guide and driver were wonderful. A private tour is definitely the way to go and it was worth the price. I enjoyed the tour of the historic Kwai Bridge, boat ride on the river Kwai, the museum, and visited an amazing temple on the way back to Bangkok

Super tour

Published on Dec, 2022

Went on a private guided tour, the guide and driver were very nice, the bridge and rail journey up the river got to a spot where the Dutch POWs had carved the trackway from rock. Beautiful buffet dinner. Then too a Buddhist shrine in the mountains, wonderful.

Beautiful countryside, great day - so worthwhile visiting

Published on Jul, 2022

Such a special day. Visiting the beautifully maintained cemetery and Death Railway was something I am glad I got to experience and show my children. Unfortunately, the JEATH museum is run down and not very well maintained and some of the exhibits are difficult to see due to being covered in dirt and grime, so the newer museum may have been a better choice. Kanchanaburi is so beautiful and the Tiger Temple was simply amazing. We loved our guide Nancy and driver Addy - both fun and so friendly and helpful. Nancy bought us some yummy Thai snacks and ensured we had a great day

Great Tour

Published on Nov, 2021

I was the first group since Covid shut things down and the tour was flawless just like Covid didn't happen. The tour guide, Tor had great subject knowledge and passed on a lot of knowledge about Thai culture. It's an all day trip, picked up at my hotel at 7:30 and dropped off at 7. The van ride was comfortable and the driver was skilled. It was a great value and I have no regrets.

It is worth & I recommend!

Published on Nov, 2019

My trip was good more than I expected even it was just 2 of us, TripGuru still managed for us a great tour guide and a good driver. Nancy was amazing & go beyond. She has all knowledge for the tour & took care of us during the trip. We were glad to have such a good trip with TripGuru. Even it was a long drive trip & raining but we had so many good memories about the trip. Meeting up with local by mistakes and was treated with kindness. I will keep up with TripGuru next time. ❤️
