About Kanchanaburi

Kanchanaburi is a small town with a scenic riverfront, however, what it is best known for is the forced labour and appalling conditions in which Allied Prisoners of War, and forced Asian labour, where kept during World War II by the Imperial Japanese Army. The main reason people come to Kanchanaburi is to see historical sites related to this period of history and to visit the War Cemeteries, although the train journey to Nam Tok and the nearby Erawan Waterfalls are also major tourist attractions.

The railway bridge over the River Khwae Yai in Kanchanaburi is the bridge in the fictionalised account of the experience of prisoners of war working on the railway in the famous film with Sir Alex Guinness called the ‘Bridge over the River Kwai. Lots of day trippers come from Bangkok to see this bridge, which you can walk across. There are also three museums in Kanchanaburi with displays about the events that took place during the war and several war cemeteries in and around the town. If you have the time then a walk along the river in Kanchanaburi is also very pleasant, although be sure to go early in the morning or late afternoon as Kanchanaburi is one of the hottest places in Thailand.
