Kanchanaburi, the breathtaking countryside, is the capital of Kanchanaburi Province. It unfolds its arresting scenic beauty in a landscape characterized by several waterfalls, caves once inhabited by Neolithic man, national parks, and tranquil riverside and reservoir settings. Many of its major attractions are also connected with the Second World War, and more specifically the years 1942 to 1945.
It is principally known, not only among war-historians and movie-buffs, as the site of the notorious Death Railway and the Bridge over the River Kwai. Archaeologists come for its Neolithic burial grounds.
