Kanchanaburi Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We woke up at 5.30am...third day in a row our tour leader was killing us! Had breakfast and got 2 local buses to Kanchanaburi. We had an amazing hotel and it was 38degrees. We got lunch and then Kyla and I then got a cycle ride to the Bridge over the River Kwae. We then went back to the hotel and sunbathed. In the evening we went to a local mark...

Today's jungle adventure was fantastic! I had heard that Chiang Mai in the north offers incredible scenery, but since we only have five full days in Bangkok, we decided to opt for a destination within a half-day's drive of Bangkok, which led us to a Kanchanaburi one-day trekking trip. We got picked up at our hotel at 6:30 a.m. this morning and m...

Arrived in Bangkok at 5am this morning, and with a bit of sleep on the bus (and several coffees) i felt i could handle a day of sight-seeing. Have been really looking forward to visiting Kanchanaburi, where the main tourist attraction is the famous bridge over the River Kwai. After seeing the film, and learning some of the story behind it, i was...

Took a bus to Kanchanburi (2 hrs West of Bangkok) . Stopped in at the war cemetary and wandered around the graves of the australian pows. After that headed to the War museum and the Bridge over the River Kwai. The museum was a little worse for wear. The sculptures of the pows really made you feel like you were there during the building of the de...

Hi There All! Well we left the crazy busy city of Bangkok and headed out to a place called Kanchanburi, about 2 hours out of Bangkok. Some of you might know that's it's home to the actual "Bridge Over The River Kwai". Upon arriving we checked into a funky little guest house called Jolly Frog. It had a wicked chill out area/garden with hammocks e...

After we got back to Thailand we decided to make a quick trip away from Bangkok (because we've already spent a decent amount of time there and because we know we'll have more time with Marisa and Nate's family). So...we wanted to head to a smaller town that offered some hiking opportunities. We chose Kanchanaburi, which is NW of Bangkok and near...

Made it back from Laos I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know! It was a KILLER bus journey and it arrived two hours before it was supposed to which was a bit of a nightmare - Bangkok's a lively place but there's still not much to do at 4am! My journey back to the temple was interesting when I decided to try and use their local buses... no-one un...

While visiting the very nice Erawan Waterfalls I was attacked by a Macaque. I panicked briefly and ran away. While running, one of my shoes (the Crocs) got stuck in the mud beneath the water, and a few meter afterwards so did the other. I've only found one. The next paragraph is in the loving memory of my magic shoes (a term coined by Matt of th...

Kanchanaburi and our floating guesthouse We arrived by bus late morning in Kanchanaburi and got a tuk tuk to a guesthouse we found out about that has rooms that float on the river Kwai. Our tuk tuk was a little different from normal as it had no engine just a bicycle. Now my luggage is not the lightest - nor are Kelly or I. I was so impressed he...
