Malcolm – Australia

Our guide Ken was excellent. His service was attentive and he was genuinely engaged with this very moving tour. Hellfire Pass should definitely be on everyone’s agenda (especially for Australians)

V
Valerie – United Kingdom

The whole day ran smoothly from pickup to drop off back to the hotel. Our guide ‘Maha’ was friendly, professional and informative. The car we went in was perfect and our driver was great- we felt safe and comfortable. The stops were just the right length and lunch was enjoyable.

Full description

Meet and greet your guide at the lobby of your hotel in Bangkok at 7 AM. Start your full day private tour to the highlights of Kanchanaburi province and the most important WW2 memorial sites.

The drive to Kanchanaburi province will take about 2 hours. First, visit the JEATH war museum, war cemetery and the Bridge over the River Kwai. Learn about how the notorious Burma-Siam railway, built by Commonwealth, Dutch and American prisoners of war, was a Japanese project driven by the need for improved communications to support the large Japanese army in Burma. Discover all of the bridge's history at the museum. Afterward, take a train ride on the Death Railway.

After lunch and another 45min drive, see and learn more about the history at the Hell Fire Pass and Memorial. End the day with a visit to one of the most beautiful waterfalls of the country, Saiyoke Noi. Enjoy your time at the waterfall and take in the beautiful environment. Finally, head back to your accommodation in Bangkok.
