Kanchanaburi is most famous for the Bridge on the Kwai and the World War II Death Railway. Certainly, much evidence of the War still remains in Kan. Row upon row of war graves, the remains of the railway whose construction cost untold lives and suffering, and of course, the infamous bridge itself, immortalized in several novels and movies.
But despite its dark past,
Kanchanaburi is without doubt one of the most exotically beautiful places on earth. Fast-flowing rivers carve their way through tooth-shaped mountains and dense jungles, where tigers still roam. The province's natural wonders make Kanchanaburi a prime destination for ecotourists and adventurers. Five national parks and some of the world's finest remaining wildlife sanctuaries make Kanchanaburi ideal for jungle hikes, rafting and camping out. Kan also has some of the world's most spectacular waterfalls and fascinating caves for enthusiasts. |
