Day Trip to Bridge on the River Kwai. - A moving experience taking you back to what it was like to be under Japanese captivity during WW II. If one has seen and was captivated by the movies, "Bridge on the River Kwai" and "The Railway Man", one should take this moving day trip.

Fantastic day tour - Our tour guide (Rach) was amazing. His knowledge and customer service made the tour such a memorable experience for our family. This tour is a early start and late finish making for a very long day but it is worth evey minute. The scenery is breathtaking and seeing where the WW2 POW camps were was a very moving experience.

Fantastic Day 🇹🇭 - Unforgettable trip from Rach (guide) and Nond (driver)! We ended up with a private tour for the three of us as no one else booked on. The various sites, museum, Kwai Bridge, Memorial, Lunch spot were very interesting and the tour was well put together. Highly recommended for history buffs. Loads of great info from Rach and it was great to see some of the Thai countryside.

Thank you for very exciting Death-Railway tour - Thanks to the enthusiastic and easy-to-understand explanations of the tour guide, Rach. It was an impressive and very informative tour. As a Japanese living in Myanmar, I felt that we should never repeat the mistakes of WW2 again.

Excellent trip - Thank you Khun Rach for an amazing tour. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of POW and helpful. Great photographer as well. He made sure we were safe and answered any questions. Also, kind person as you could walking around he was talking to all the locals. The buffet was delicious with a great view of the River Kawai and the train journey was fun watching the countryside.

Thought provoking day trip - This trip was great in that it covered much and was very informative. The visit to the cemetery was very moving as well as walking across the bridge. We took the boat ride up the river to the bridge because others in the party did and we would have had to wait. As it turned out we enjoyed seeing the bridge and railway from the river and got some excellent photos there. Lunch was good and we liked Oom's video clips which gave us an overview of that period in history prior to our arrival. My one complaint was that I would have preferred to walk through the small Jeath museum on my own to read captions and reflect on illustrations without the tour guide telling us what HE thought was important. It was a little hurried overall because of having to stay on schedule to get on the once daily train. Perhaps the cemetery or museum could have been at the end of the day. (We certainly did not need TWO chances to visit souvenir shops)
