About this experience
Follow the story of the Death Railway through its history, surviving landmarks and an actual journey along the route. Begin with the War Cemetery and Thailand–Burma Railway Centre, where your private guide provides the background needed to understand the people, events and human cost behind the railway. Continue to the River Kwai Bridge before boarding a local train for the most memorable part of the day: traveling through the Kanchanaburi countryside and along the wooden trestle beside the River Kwai Noi. At Tham Krasae, explore the historic railway section, enjoy views across the river and visit the peaceful cave shrine beside the tracks. With private transportation and a flexible pace, there is time to ask questions, take photographs and experience each location without being rushed through a large-group itinerary.
