Description:

Visit the scenic Mueang Kanchanaburi District by road and river on your day trip to Hellfire Pass, Tiger Temple and the infamous River Kwai Bridge. Explore the region's history, amazing sights, and iconic landmarks on this eventful tour.

Start your day early with a hotel pickup and drive to Hellfire Pass. Pay close attention as your insightful guide tells the horrific story behind this historic location, where many people suffered and died to build the Burma Railway in World War II.

Stop for an authentic Thai buffet lunch, then make your way to the amazing Tiger temple. Observe the caretaker monks in their daily routines, attending to tigers and taking their walks with these gentle creatures. Take the opportunity to get photos with the monks and tame tigers during your visit.

Move down the Khwae Yai River via long-tail speedboat until you reach the River Kwai Bridge. Built by prisoners of war and well-known for inspiring the classic movie The Bridge on the River Kwai, the black-iron and concrete bridge stands as a solemn reminder of the atrocities of war that still reverberate today.
