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.

Ken was an excellent guide, his knowledge of the area and history was first class, he also kept regular contact with each point on the tour to allow for delays, weather changes and always showed the best vantage points for photos and views. The driver and van were also excellent, very clean, plenty of refreshments and on always. Very friendly and welcoming I highly recommend these two for any tour
