Day 1: Bangkok – Kanchanaburi
Stop At: The Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, 73 Jaokannun Road BanNua, Amphoe Muang, Kanchanaburi 71000 Thailand
An early pick up marks the start of your trip out from the fast-moving lifestyle of the Thai capital and into a more laid-back atmosphere: the ride to Kanchanaburi takes approximately 2.5 hours. Accompanied by an English speaking guide, we arrive around 9 am at our first stop in the heart of Kanchanaburi town.
The Thailand – Burma Railway Centre is a permanent exhibition showing the historical importance of the province, related to the construction of the now world-famous Death Railway.

Stop At: Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, 284/66 Sangchuto Rd, Kanchanaburi 71000 Thailand

Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Bridge Over the River Kwai, Tha Makham, Kanchanaburi 71000 Thailand

The last part to our riverside resort is done by long tail boat, where the team of Home Phutoey welcomes you. Lunch will be served at the resort’s own restaurant before we move on for a leisurely jungle walk around this lush green area of the Kwai Noi.
