About Kanchanaburi
Kanchanaburi is a river town in western Thailand, known for the Bridge over the River Kwai, its war cemeteries and waterfalls in the surrounding hills.
Kanchanaburi stands where the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai rivers meet to form the Mae Klong, in the green hills of western Thailand near the border with Myanmar. During the Second World War, Allied prisoners of war and Asian labourers built the Thailand-Burma Railway here for the Japanese army, and the iron bridge over the Khwae Yai, made famous by a novel and a film, is now a main landmark.
Top-ranked sights in Kanchanaburi: Erawan National Park (Erawan Falls), Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, JEATH War Museum.
