Day Trip Details

First, we'll travel west from Bangkok, reaching the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market after a 1.5-hour journey.

Upon arrival, we'll enjoy a 30-minute boat ride through the market, viewing stalls selling vegetables, exotic fruits, and local products.

After the market, we will drive to Kanchanaburi to see the bridge on the River Kwai, known from the 1957 film depicting World War II events where Japanese forces forced prisoners to construct the Death Railway. This railway included a segment crossing the River Kwai.

We will have a traditional Thai lunch near the bridge. Following lunch, we'll visit the JEATH War Museum to learn about the Death Railway's construction from 1942 to 1943.

Upon concluding the museum visit, we'll head to Tham Kra Sae Station for a 1.5-hour train journey along the River Kwai. The train trip will end at Tha Kilen Station, where a vehicle will transport us back to Bangkok.
