"Kanchanaburi Province"

Kanchanaburi, Thailand's third-largest province captivates travelers with its natural beauty. Its diverse landscape – which features everything from waterfalls, rivers and mountains to Neolithic caves and national parks – is ideal for an array of outdoor pursuits, including hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting and fishing. But a trip here wouldn't be complete without visiting some of the area's World War II sites and museums. Start your history lesson at the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, an interactive museum that tells the tragic story of how the Thailand-Burma Railway was built. Then, stop by the JEATH War Museum to see a replica of a prisoners-of-war camp.
