3. Kanchanaburi – War History, Natural Environment & Tranquility
Kanchanaburi offers a more peaceful atmosphere, suitable for travelers who love history and natural beauty. It is famous for the historic Bridge over the River Kwai and the Death Railway, remnants of World War II that bear witness to the suffering of prisoners of war. Several museums and war cemeteries are also located here, providing opportunities to understand history more closely. For nature lovers, this area is also home to the beautiful Erawan Waterfall with tiered pools and turquoise-colored water. Activities such as riding an old train through the forest, cruising along the river by boat, and visiting elephant rehabilitation centers make Kanchanaburi a complete destination that is different from major cities.
