The River Kwai Bridge, Kanchanaburi's most famous attraction, has a legendary history. Enjoy a unique experience with your private longtail boat and local captain, riding under the iconic bridge.

During the 2.5-hour scenic boat ride, you'll stop at two spots. First, visit Wat Tham Khao Pun. A 10-minute uphill walk takes you to the entrance of an underground cave with nine chambers, various Thai religious sculptures, and a large reclining Buddha statue. Despite the bat smell, it's worth seeing.

Next, stop at the original JEATH War Museum to learn about Kanchanaburi's history and see poignant photos from World War II.

Optionally, you might visit Chungkai Military Cemetery, depending on gate access. This isn't part of the standard itinerary, but a bonus if available.

Conclude your tour back at the famous bridge, creating unforgettable memories.
