Fullday Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bridge over River Kwai

Experience Thais rural life and a charm of countryside at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and visit historical sites in Kanchanaburi including the Bridge over the River Kwai and enjoy Train ride on Death Railway through magnificent scenery, passing over the original wooden viaduct constructed by Allied POWs.

Damnoen Saduak is the most popular floating market in Thailand, great for photo opportunities, food, and for giving you an insight into a bygone way of life. An early morning start is worth it to avoid the heat and catch Damnoen Saduak at its liveliest. Most visitors who come to Thailand want to visit a floating market and many of them will end up here. Don’t let that put you off though, as it’s an enjoyable morning out of the city and if you avoid the tourist shops you can get a real sense of the place. The market is over an hour’s transfer out of Bangkok, and the easiest way to get there is to join a tour.

‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’ is now the best-known site on the Burma-Thailand railway but its fame is due more to a fictional film than its significance in World War II.

Spanning the River Kwae Yai in Kanchanaburi, the bridge was built in 1942–43 by British prisoners of war based at Tha Markam. It consisted of eleven steel spans on concrete pillars. Materials were sourced from Java and this was the only steel bridge built by the Japanese in Thailand.

Burma Railway, also called Burma-Siam Railway, railway built during World War II connecting Bangkok and Moulmein (now Mawlamyine), Burma (Myanmar). The rail line was built along the Khwae Noi (Kwai) River valley to support the Japanese armed forces during the Burma Campaign. More than 12,000 Allied prisoners of war (POWs) and tens of thousands of forced labourers perished during its construction.
