What makes Kanchanaburi Erawan Waterfall Elephant Care and Railway Museum a unique experience ?
Take a refreshing swim and soak in the surrounding natural beauty, Erawan National Park, established in 1975 as Thailand’s 12th national park, spans a lush 550 km² of natural beauty. It is best known for the iconic Erawan Falls — a stunning seven-tiered cascade with crystal-clear emerald pools that draw visitors from around the country and beyond. Named after the mythical three-headed white elephant from Hindu lore, the park’s crowning tier is said to resemble the majestic creature’s head. In addition to the waterfalls, the park features a number of impressive caves, some nestled deep within the forest and others easily accessible from roads that wind through the area. (Total time included travelling from Bangkok to Erawan)
Observe and learn about the rescued Elephants in Kanchanaburi province.
Visit Tham Kra Sae Cave, Krasae Cave was once where POWs rest as it's located right next to the Death Railway. It is now a popular spot for visitors who take a walk on the railway and would stop by to pray toward a Buddha image enshrined within the cave. Enjoy a delicious buffet lunch in the restaurant near by here.
Pay respects at the War Cemetery, peacefully nestled just 2 kilometers south of town along the tranquil banks of the Kwai Noi River. This cemetery stands on the historic site of the former Chong Kai prisoner of war camp. It is a solemn place of remembrance, where 1,740 prisoners of World War II who never made it home are laid to rest in peace. This sacred ground offers a poignant space to honor their memory and reflect on the sacrifices made.
Delve into history at the Death Railway Museum, also known as the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre — an interactive museum and research hub dedicated to uncovering the story of the infamous Thailand-Burma Railway. This ran 415 km from Ban Pong in Thailand to Thanbuyuzayat in Burma, and was built by the Imperial Japanese Army during the second World War using Allied prisoners of war and impressed Asian laborers. The Centre is fully air-conditioned and offers the visitor an educational and moving experience.
Discover the iconic Bridge over the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi, near the Myanmar border — a historic landmark steeped in poignant World War II history. During WW II, Japan constructed the meter-gauge railway line from Ban Pong, Thailand to Thanbyuzayat, Burma. The line passing through the scenic Three Pagodas Pass runs for 250 miles. This is now known as the Death Railway. The railway line was meant to transport cargo daily to India, to back up their planned attack on India. The construction was done using POWs and Asian slave laborers in unfavorable conditions. The work started in October 1942 was completed in a year. Due to the difficult terrain, thousands of laborers lost their lives. It is believed that one life was lost for each sleeper laid in the track.
