Why choose this tour ?
Begin your journey with a convenient pick-up from your centrally located Bangkok hotel. Travel through the countryside, passing picturesque coconut plantations, to reach Thaka Floating Market—a hidden gem that remains largely untouched by Western tourists. Stroll through the market, soaking in the authentic atmosphere and vibrant local culture. Next, visit locations steeped in history and remembrance, starting with the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery and JEATH War Museum, which commemorate the tragic events of World War II. Take a long-tail speedboat ride along the river and enjoy lunch near the famous Bridge over the River Kwai. Walk across this historical landmark, reflecting on its significance and breathtaking surroundings. Conclude your day with a visit to Prasat Muang Singh Historical Park, home to the Khmer temple ruins dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. This tour offers a unique blend of culture, history, and scenic beauty, providing a rich and unforgettable experience.
What makes Discover the Best Sights of Samut Songkhram and Kanchanaburi a unique experience ?
There a number of floating markets all throughout Thailand and Thaka is one of the more authentic, although English signs in the vendors boats are appearing advertising what they are selling. That said, a visit here is still a worthwhile experience. However, they still aim to sell more to locals, so the prices are really cheap. Have some of the amazing fried bananas or coconut ice cream with a variety of colourful toppings. Be prepared to barter for your purchases.
JEATH is an acronym for Japanese, English, American, Australian, Thai and Holland. The local museum has not been well-maintained over the years but was primarily constructed to give an insight into the atrocities of war so that all visitors are reminded that war must never happen again
Allied prisoners of war during World War II were forced to build the 258-mile Death Railway by Japanese forces. About a hundred thousand conscripted Asian labourers and 16,000 prisoners of war died on the whole project.
