KANCHANABURI Thailand's fourth largest and westernmost province has long been a popular destination for both Thai and international tourists. While the "Bridge on the River Kwai" and other remnants of Word War II are well known, recently people have begun to discover that there is much more to Kanchanaburi than ghosts of the past. |

| Along the Burmese border stunning mountains are dotted with the villages of Mon and Karen tribes and some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Kingdom. Jungle trekking, elephant riding, rafting, caving, fishing, or just swinging in a hammock by the riverside - in Kanchanaburi, all are possible. | ||||
| Afer exploring the Kanchanaburi and Chungkai War Cemeteries, the JEATH War Museum, and Hellfire Pass, visitors would do well to explore the caves of Wat Tham Kao Pun, the nine levels of the Erawan Waterfalls, and the massive Sai Yok Waterfall. For a closer look at Burma, an overnight trip to Three Pagoda's Pass (Chedi Sam Ong) shows the route that travellers and traders have been using for centuries. | ||||
