Highlights
  • Kanchanaburi War Cemetery - This beautifully kept cemetery is a peaceful and very well tended place and very moving to read so many inscriptions, so many of them naming loved ones left behind. A sobering but important place to come to and reflect on how much we owe them.
  • JEATH War Museum - Home to many moving pictures and displays
  • River Khwae Bridge - Made famous in the Hollywood movie but will much more of a dark history. Renovated in 1976
  • Burma-Thai Railway - Built during Would War II by POW’s of the Japanese
  • Erawan Waterfalls - The major attraction of the park is the 7-tiered Erawan Falls with emerald green ponds. There are also several impressive and long caves within the park, some of them deeper inside the park, few of them along the roads around the park. The park and the falls are named after the three-headed white elephant of Hindu mythology.
