Kanchanaburi

The city stands at the meeting point of Kwae Noi and Kwae Yai rivers, forming the Mae Klong River amid forests and mountains.

The town relocated to its current position in 1833 under King Rama III, serving as a strategic defense point against potential invasions from Burma.

The Thailand-Burma Railway Centre displays artifacts and documents about the railway construction during World War II, presenting the stories of workers and prisoners.

Visitors can reach Kanchanaburi from Bangkok within two hours by train or road, with weekend excursions offering additional transportation options.

The province contains three major reservoirs and multiple waterfalls within its boundaries, including the seven-tiered Erawan Falls in Erawan National Park.
