Day One

We'll pick you up from your hotel at 07:00 and drive through to the Floating Market at Damnoen Saduak. You'll have an hour on the boat which will take you through the fascinating system of canals.

Then it's on to the War Cemetery in Kanchanaburi where your English-speaking guide will join you. From there it's only a short hop to the Bridge over the River Kwai which is the starting point of the Death Railway.

This spectacular rail journey is rated as one of the best in the world. Unfortunately, maintainence on the line is virtually non-existant and therefore we have stopped taking tours on the train. However, we will stop at the wooden Wang Pho viaduct so you can take a walk on this section of the track and marvel at those who constructed this viaduct under such difficult circumstances.

After lunch we'll take you to the elephant camp where you can experience the unique 'elephants walk'. From there you can head straight for the river for bath time. The elephants love a good scrub!  Now that you are well wet, you can take the bamboo raft for a gentle float down the river. We'll pick you up at the other end.

Day Two

After breakfast we'll take you up to Hellfire Pass. First stop is the Hellfire Pass Museum and then you'll be able to walk down into Konyu Cutting where the memorial is. You'll need decent shoes for this walk as the track is set between the trees and there's lots of roots to step over.

You walk will have made you hungry, so we'll stop for lunch before moving to the Tiger Temple. You'll be at the temple early enough to be able to play with the tiger cubs during their afternoon feed time. From there you'll be able to follow the adult tigers down into the Tiger Canyon where they relax during the afternoon.

When you've finished at the Tiger temple we'll drive back into Kanchanaburi where you'll spend the night. You'll have plenty of time to wander around and enjoy the local markets or just relax in one of the local bars.

Day Three

After a good breakfast you'll be ready for some exercise, so we'll take you into the Erawan National Park for a trek through the jungle to the beautiful terraced Erawan waterfalls. You'll have time to relax with a swim here, or just a paddle if you prefer.

If you prefer, instead of Erawan National Park you can go to the newly opened Wildlife Sanctuary.

When you are ready, your driver will take you back to your hotel in Bangkok.
