An introduction to Kanchanaburi

[BigHewer]

• The setting of the acclaimed films ‘Bridge on the River Kwai’ and ‘The Railway Men’, Kanchanaburi is a town of 30,000 with many stories to tell. Home to two world-class museums and a number of significant World War II sites, Kanchanaburi packs a serious punch for anyone interested in history.
• Located 250km north-west of Bangkok, Kanchanaburi is a leafy provincial town of broad boulevards, riverside dining and a surprisingly exuberant nightlife scene. Whether passing through en route to the array of national parks further north or making a side trip here from Bangkok, there is plenty for the visitor to explore here.
