Kanchanaburi

Kanchanaburi, which is located where the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai rivers converge into the Mae Klong river, spans the northern banks of the river and is a popular spot for travellers, its location at the edge of a mountain range keeping it much cooler than the other provinces of central Thailand. For most visitors the main sight of interest is the Bridge over the River Kwai, the start of the infamous World War II Death Railway to Myanmar, as well as its associated museums. Kanchanaburi is also the gateway to the surrounding province of the same name. More foreign visitors are discovering why Thais know it as one of the most beautiful provinces in the country with its easily accessible waterfalls and national parks.
