Kanchanaburi Hotel Reviews

Kanchanaburi is small enough to get around on foot, although the heat can slow this down a fair bit. I would highly recommend takiong a trip to the Erewan waterfalls. It''s a bit of hard work but nothing too exhausting and swimming in the pools more than makes up for this. A great place to eat is the restaurant at Apple''s Guest House. The food does take a little while to arrive, but it is more than worth it. The best food we have had in Thailand by quite a long way.

We crossed the Bridge over the River Kwai. Since our last visit, a steel walkway has been laid over the track, so this walk wasn''t as scary as it was previously - but look out for the train crossing the bridge! We also visited the Museum next to the bridge, which was very intersting, and the war cemetary which is kept in pristeen condition - I was very impressed with how well it is maintained. We took a 30-minue long-tail boat up the river, which was very good; I wish we had booked for an hour. We ate twice at the floating restaurant next to the Bridge. The location is very good, but I wasn''t overly impressed with the food or the service. We took our own car with us to Kanchanaburi and used this to travel around. All in all a very good trip and a great place to spend a couple of days.

Kanchanaburi is a very interesting location for all who need to know about the history of the Thai-Burma railway and the tragedy of the men who worked on it. Hellfire pass Museum and Memorial is 80k and 1 1/2 hours away. Also there is an excellent NEW railway museum in town, just adjacent to the War Cemetery. Don''t miss it.

is realy better to stay in the guesthouses, for example Sugar Can that is conveniently located and very friendly (550 bath for night)
