Kanchanaburi Thailand

Kanchanaburi province boasts some of the finest natural scenery in the whole of Thailand, and yet is only 129 kilometres west of Bangkok. Topographically the province is defined by forested and wooded valleys of the Kwai Noi and Kwai Yai, twin rivers that meet at Kanchanaburi town to form the Mae-Klong river. Kanchanaburi town is the site of the infamous Bridge over the River Kwai built by Allied prisoners during World War II. The bridge still remains.
