2025 Kanchanaburi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

From the first photo, you can see how excited I am😘☺️ I bravely stuck my head out of the train despite the waterfall❗❗❗ Bangkok to Kanchanaburi Kanchanaburi is located 129km west of Bangkok. Kanchanaburi in Thailand has become a popular tourist destination due to the Bridge on the River Kwai, which is rich in historical significance. The vibrant colors captured by the train passing through are stunning, and many tourists, including myself, go crazy taking rare railway scenery photos by sticking their heads out of the windows🤣😆 I even got sprayed by the waterfall❗️ Riding the Thai-Burma Railway for an hour, walking on a bridge with such historical significance is truly overwhelming. This bridge reflects the scenes of World War II: back then, the Japanese army occupied the Thai border and forced Allied prisoners of war to build a railway connecting Burma and Siam. This railway was completed at the cost of countless precious lives, hence the name "Death Railway." The Bridge on the River Kwai is a part of it, known as the throat of the "Death Railway." Walking on the last section of the bridge has some height differences, so be careful not to step into the gaps😂

🌉Hello, today I will take everyone to visit the Bridge on the River Kwai, an important historical site in Kanchanaburi Province, which was built during World War II. 📸What you can't miss when coming here is taking pictures on the Bridge on the River Kwai, which is considered a popular spot. However, when I came, it was during the long holiday at the end of the year, so there were a lot of tourists traveling there. So I had to find a corner to take pictures when there were fewer people. ☕️🚤Around the Bridge on the River Kwai, there are many restaurants, shops, and souvenir shops selling things for tourists to choose from. And near the bridge, there is a tour boat service on the River Kwai. 🚗For traveling here by car, there is a free parking lot near the bridge where you can park your car. 📍Thamakham Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kanchanaburi Province #VisitKanchanaburi #Name'sDiary #TravelAroundThailand #journey #CarryingACamera #Photographer #tripthailand
