Located in the west of Thailand alongside the Burmese border, Kanchanaburi has a combination of natural and wartime attractions. The Bridge Over the River Kwai is a major tourist spot, and you can take a ride on the infamous Death Railway to appreciate the stunning views and remember those who lost their lives during the railroad’s construction. There are several museums dedicated to the area’s history, along with somber wartime cemeteries. Erawan National Park, home to the multi-level Erawan Falls and Pra That Cave, is another highlight, and Sai Yok National Park is a nice place for a picnic alongside smaller falls. If you want to visit a less-crowded and more remote waterfall, however, Huay Mae Khamin is highly recommended. Get off the beaten track and head north to pretty and peaceful Sangkhlaburi to see a different side of Thailand.
