Highlights
-
JEATH War Museum - The JEATH War Museum is dedicated to the story of the men who worked on the Death Railway. The acronym JEATH stands for the different nationalities of the POWs that worked on the construction of the railway between 1942 and 1943: Japan, England, America, Australia, Thailand and Holland (The Netherlands).
The museum displays the actual items that were used for the construction of the Death Railway and it exhibits a large number of photographs taken by prisoners at the time. One of the three galleries featuring photos is housed within a bamboo hut that’s an exact replica of the shelters that the POWs (Prisoners of War) lived in during this time. The museum is also home to a bomb dropped by the allies to destroy the bridge but that failed to explode.

Super - The tour was well organized and interesting so learned a lot and had fun. The guide Lisa was very kind and knowlegable, while the driver Beer went an extra mile by stopping at a food stall to get us some banana fritters.

River Kwai and Waterfalls - Great day out.
Lisa, our guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Beer, our driver, was great and very courteous.
The waterfalls are picturesque, lots of fun and provide a well needed cooling down.

Highly recommended - We had a lovely driver called Frank who was really helpful and attentive and provided us with water and couldn’t help enough, we met our guide Pinky at the war memorial she was fantastic, we are well travelled and had many guides but she was a different class her attention to detail, her knowledge and her general demeanor went well above what we would expect, at the waterfalls she was happy to take us as far up as we wanted we weren’t rushed at all and she even had lunch with us, a truly wonderful day out with two new friends, she even invited us to visit her and she would show us round her town, truly amazing !!

Amazing! - The driver and the guide were so kind and wonderful. The experience was so educational about the death railway and the boat ride and hike/swim were so energising and away from the city! Swimming at the waterfalls was something I could never forget. Definitely a trip worth taking.

Nice day to start our visit in Bangkok - Nice trip to start our vacation in Bangkok. We did Kanchanaburi, the boat trip to the bridge over the river kwai, a walk over the bridge, and than we drove to the waterfalls. We were able to do the 7 levels and to swim. Our English speaking guide Lisa was very nice and friendly. She had many tips to eat and interesting info. Beer, our taxi driver, was always on time and brought us safely everywhere.
Thx Lisa and Beer.
