A value tour of the top sights in Kanchanaburi province, including Erawan National Park, the famous Tiger Temple, Hell Fire Museum, and the River Kwai. One of Thailand’s largest provinces, Kanchanaburi is one of the least populated. Boasting massive expanses of tropical forest, Kanchanaburi is steeped in history and is home to a range of culturally diverse groups. Kanchanaburi is located where the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai rivers converge into the Mae Klong river, where in 1942, under Japanese control, the famous Bridge on the River Kwai was built by prisoners of war (POWs). A memorial, two museums, and a war cemetery are located near the city. It is the easiest access point to the nearby Tiger Temple. The city's location at the edge of a mountain range keeps it much cooler than the other provinces of central Thailand.
