Departure Time – 7:00 AM

Stop 1 – Kanchanaburi War Cemetery

The Kanchanaburi War Cemetery is home to nearly 7,000 prisoners of war from Britain, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Burma, and other countries. Thousands of marble tombstones lined up amid lush green grass and blooming flowers create a very solemn atmosphere.

Stop 2 – JEATH War Museum

Founded by a monk in 1977, the Jeath War Museum describes how allied prisoners of war were forced by the Japanese to build the “Death Railway” from 1942 to 1943. Another part of the museum consists of reconstructed bamboo huts, which house paintings, photographs, weapons, and other items of “former prisoners”.

Stop 3 – River Kwai

Enjoy an exhilarating long-tailed boat trip under the River Kwai Bridge. Whether you’re a railway enthusiast or a big fan of war films, you have every reason to visit the Bridge on the River Kwai. The bridge was completed in 1943 to connect the existing Thai-Burma railway in support of the Japanese occupation of Burma. Thousands of prisoners of war and laborers died in the process. After that, continue your cruise to the floating countryside for a glimpse of everyday life in a Thai village.

Stop 4 – Thai -Burma Railway

The train will take you across several original bridges built by prisoners of war to enjoy amazing river views and jungle scenery.

After the tour, drive you back to your hotel or the requested drop-off point in downtown Bangkok.
