The most interesting tour will take you to the unspoiled rural floating market of Damnuen Saduak, situated 110 kms west of Bangkok. This floating market, one of the most authentic left in Thailand, is a glimpse into the past of how locally grown produce was sold along the many rivers of Thailand.

Bridge on the River Kwai was built by the Prisoners of war when Kanchanaburi province was under Japanese control in 1942. This bridge was built by the Prioners of War during that period when they had also built the infamous Thailand-Burma railway. More than half of the prisoners working on this project had died due to disease, maltreatment and accidents. At Kanchanaburi there is a memorial and two museums to commemorate the dead i.e. the Thailand-Burma Railway Museum and the Jeath War Museum dedicated to the bridge and the Death Railway i.e. the Thailand-Burma railway built during the World War II.
