The mountainous tropical jungle surrounding the town of Kanchanaburi provides an evocative setting for poignant reminders of the prisoners of war and forced labourers who gave their lives on the notorious Death Railway during the Second World War. We’ll visit the fascinating Thailand-Burma Railway Museum, an interactive facility presenting the history of the railway, and see the moving War Cemetery, final resting place for over 6,000 allied prisoners of war, many of them in their teens when they lost their lives. We’ll take in the lush scenery of the province when we enjoy a long-tailed boat trip along the Maeklong River to the famous Bridge on the River Kwai, then we’ll take a thrilling ride on the local train over wooden viaducts, and admire the stunning landscape along the Kwai River.
