"Day tour to the RIVER KWAI from Bangkok" Kanchanaburi Things to Do Tip by balhannah

This was a full day tour to the River Kwai which included War Cemetery, Jeath Museum, Bamboo Raft ride, Elephant ride, Train ride as well as lunch. Cost in 2009 was 700tb plus train ride100tb, plus Jeath museum 40tb = 840tb for the tour.
This tour was a little disappointing, (tourist trap tip) It was nice to get out into the Thailand countryside. Our 1st stop was Don Rak War Cemetery which was beautifully kept and contained the remains of 6982 soldiers, (Australian, Dutch, British) a sad place to visit. Next, Jeath Museum, interesting, then time to walk across the Bridge over the River Kwai and enjoy the sights. We did a short raft trip, towed up the River, then came back with the current. Lunch, which was nice, Not too spicy, cooked especially for us. An Elephant ride through the Bush. We visited Sai Nok Yoi Waterfall and lastly, the Train ride on the River Kwai railway.
See my tourist trap tips, as I would check out for sure before you go, what you are getting.

I did think the Tour was good value, and I enjoyed it, even though I was a little disappointed.
