Kanchanaburi, Province with national parks in western Thailand

Forest-covered mountains, rivers, and waterfalls define this 19,483-square-kilometer area bordering Myanmar, making it Thailand's third largest province.

During World War II, the construction of the Thailand-Burma Railway through Kanchanaburi resulted in numerous casualties among prisoners of war and laborers.

The Prasat Muang Sing archaeological site contains remains of Khmer architecture, demonstrating the influence of ancient civilizations in this region.

The province includes thirteen districts with 887 villages, while Kanchanaburi City functions as the administrative center and primary tourism gateway.

The Erawan National Park features a seven-tiered waterfall system where each level contains pools filled with mineral-rich water.
