Nakhon Prathom & Bridge over the River Kwai, Kanchanaburi
Full Day Tour
“Nakhon Prathom” province, situated 56 km west of Bangkok, dates from about 150 BC. It is also home to the region’s first centre of Buddhist learning, established there about 1000 years ago. The most spectacular attraction is “Pra Pathom Chedi”, the tallest 120 metres Buddhist monument in the world.
Then take a ride on the infamous "Death Railway" train which will take you through some spectacular steep gorges and round sheer cliff faces !!! Perhaps a walk across the famous “Bridge over the River Kwai”, which was built by Allied Prisoners of War during World War 2 and, if you wish, a visit to the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery where almost 7,000 Allied prisoners are buried. You may choose to have lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the river. Finally, you may wish to see famous Kanchanaburi's Tiger Temple before returning to Bangkok.
