DAY 3 - BANGKOK - KANCHANABURI (B)
Pick up from hotel in Bangkok and drive to Kanchanaburi Province. En-route stop at an amazing country market that has sprouted along the railway tracks. Here, you will witness the dexterity and speed of the vendors as they quickly pack their stalls right before 10:20 am when the train approaches; hence bringing shopping to a brief halt. It is a standard practice and stall holders have learnt the art of assembling and reassembling their wares at a moment’s notice!
Continue to Kanchanaburi and head towards a local train station for a one hour train ride along the famous Death Railway passing the breathtaking view of Kwai Noi gorge. Head to Kanchanaburi town and visit the famous Bridge over River Kwai featuring the history of World War II. Then stroll through the historical lanes in the Pak Preak community, lined with charming shop houses built during the reign of King Rama V. Guests are then driven to their hotel.
Check in at your nice cozy resort.
