Kanchanaburi's WWII Historical Sites & Erawan Waterfall
Spend a day in and around Kanchanaburi, a town west of Bangkok that lives with a dark past amongst beautiful natural scenery.
This Private Tour will take you to the Allied POWs War Grave Cemetery and the JEATH Museum. Also during the day you will spend time at the infamous Bridge over the River Kwai, including taking a ride across it and part of the 'Death Railway.
Lunch in a Jungle restaurant is included and a stop will be made to the beautiful Erawan Waterfall, which will show you that this area is not only home to a tragic past that we must ensure never happens again.
