Kanchanaburi (River Kwai), Thailand
Kanchanaburi is one of the most beautiful provinces of Thailand, with a very delightful landscape. It is already well-known among War-historians and movie-buffs as the site of the notorious "Death Railway" and the "Bridge over the River Kwai" and among archaeologists for its Neolithic burial grounds. Yet, the province also has numerous other places of interest for the nature loving visitor who wants to spend longer time here.
Kanchanaburi is about 128 kilometers west of Bangkok approximately 2 1/2 hours ride by car over a good road. The town of Kanchanaburi is located at the point where two tributaries, the Kwai Noi and Kwai Yai (which have their source in the Ta-Nao-Si Range) meet and form the Mae-Klong River. The present provincial capital is a relatively new town built by King Rama III in 1833
The old town was 18 kilometers away. On reaching Kanchanaburi a visitor first stop at the "TOURISM AUTHORITY OF THAILAND" local office on Saeng-Chuto Road near the Bus Station to collect maps, folders and any other useful information before starting out on a program of sight-seeing.
