The Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, situated near the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery Don Rak, is a museum established in the 1990s. It showcases a collection of relics discovered by collectors using metal detectors, along with informative panels, photographs, video clips, and an interactive topographical map of the 415-kilometer-long railway.
The visit to the Death Railway Museum and the train ride along the historic Thai-Burma Railway was both thrilling and deeply educational. It shed light on the tragic history of the railway and the countless prisoners of war who lost their lives during its construction—earning it the name “Death Railway.” The museum’s detailed information, photographs, and dioramas vividly portray this somber past, leaving a lasting emotional impact. A day trip from Bangkok to the Death Railway is highly recommended, and if time allows, spending 1–2 nights in Kanchanaburi district offers a great opportunity to further explore the area.

Informative and well maintained. On the second floor there was a small display case with belonging that had been donated from several POW families that I found especially interesting. History, timelines and maps were helpful.

Good flow, very educational and informative. Hard to give a death museum 5 stars but definitely worth a visit. 170 baht for adult ticket, this comes with a free tea or coffee available in the cafe upstairs. Would allow 1hr+. Nice staff

This historical place brought us back to the times when Japanese atrocities were inhumane and intolerable. The families of these prisoners of war will never be able to forget what had been done to their family members. Hopefully all countries will learn from this and never allow this to happen again.

Cemetery
Nestled in the heart of Kanchanaburi, the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery serves as a solemn tribute to over 6,000 Commonwealth and Dutch soldiers who tragically lost their lives while forced to construct the infamous Burma-Siam railway during World War II. This beautifully maintained cemetery features lush gardens and manicured lawns, creating a serene environment for visitors to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by these courageous individuals.
The Kanchanaburi War Cemetery is a solemn, well-maintained, and deeply moving place. It’s not about grandeur but about memory—lined with headstones that represent individual stories and sacrifices. Visitors often describe it as a quiet space that prompts reflection and gratitude. Pairing it with the railway museum across the street makes for a balanced and meaningful visit. If you value thoughtful, emotional travel, I’d highly recommend making time for this. The cemetery holds nearly 7,000 graves—mainly British, Australian, and Dutch POWs from the Burma Railway. It also includes ashes of victims from a cholera outbreak and a memorial for those whose graves couldn’t be maintained elsewhere.

The Kanchanaburi war cemetery is a solemn place dedicated to the memory of the fallen during world war 2. There were many nationalities during this period but I believe majority of the ones buried here are either British or Australian. It's right across the death railway museum.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Perched atop a majestic hill, Wat Tham Suea, also known as the Tiger Cave Temple, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The temple complex features multiple architectural wonders including several towers and pagodas of various styles. The highlight is an 18-meter-tall golden Buddha statue that dominates the Kanchanaburi landscape. Visitors can spend at least an hour exploring the elegant sanctuary and climbing up two towers, an orange pagoda, and a Chinese tower for panoramic vistas.
This was my first time visiting Wat Tham Sue, and I was blown away. The massive golden Buddha is even more impressive in real life than in photos. The temple stays on a hilltop with 360° views of green rice fields and mountains. I went in the afternoon and the light was perfect for photos. The climb up the stairs wasn’t too difficult, but I’d recommend using cable car, which costs 40 baht per round. The architecture is a mix of Thai and Chinese styles, with colorful details and a peaceful vibe. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Kanchanaburi 👍🏻👍🏻

The Tiger Cave Temple is stunning, with its giant golden Buddha statue and panoramic views over the countryside. The stair climb is worth it – at the top you’re rewarded with breathtaking scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. A must-visit when exploring Kanchanaburi.

I came unprepared and late at 4pm. When I got down around 5:30 the temple was closed, everyone was gone, my phone was dying and there was no taxis or motorbikes in the area taking jobs. Inside the cave had lights but they weren’t working so it wasn’t great inside and coukdnt take pics of the statue. Also quite dangerous. The top was lovely, great view. Also there are toilets at the top and halfway point, so if you need to go, hold on til you find them! I was carrying a child up and down and it was pretty hectic.. some of the stairs are very very steep. Make sure you have had enough food earlier in the day, your legs will be trembling afterwards. The cute puppies all around were a delight.

The temple we made our second visit from six years ago, recently they have an elevator in construction the time we went on June2025.

Merzkhem is full of stairs. For those who don't want to climb it all, there is a kind of train that goes up the stairs. Inside the temples there are more stairs that can go all the way to the top. It's worth going up and seeing everything. Anyone who has a problem with stairs shouldn't try it. It's much faster, which is a shame because it's very beautiful, but you have to climb a lot of stairs.

Nature & Parks
Erawan National Park is a renowned destination featuring tiered waterfalls, picturesque hiking trails, and opportunities for nature exploration and swimming. The park is home to the iconic Bridge over the Kwai River, a significant relic from World War II. Visitors can also pay their respects at the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery and admire the panoramic views from Wat Tham Sua temple.
It's a well maintained tourist attraction. The national park is set up to receive a large number of people, there is plenty of parking and amenities. Access to the waterfalls is relatively easy and the climb is not too steep. Any fitness level can manage. A lot of rules around taking plastic bottles and food. Don't litter and get a swim vest if you want to jump in the pools. It's around 1 hour drive from the main town. During the off season I would recommend staying in a nice hotel in kanchanaburi and drive yourself to the national park.

🌿 Erawan National Park 📍 94GV+5HW, Tha Kradan, Si Sawat District, Kanchanaburi 71250, Thailand This is truly one of the most beautiful national parks in Thailand! The highlight here is the Erawan Waterfall, which has seven tiers, each one different and stunning in its own way. The first few levels are easy to reach and great for relaxing or swimming, while the upper levels take a bit more effort to hike but are absolutely worth it. There are small shops near the entrance where you can buy food, snacks, drinks, and coffee before starting your walk. You can also take a golf cart ride to the first level if you prefer not to walk the first stretch. After the second level, you’ll need to register your water bottles and leave a small deposit (refunded when you bring them back). No food is allowed beyond this point, which helps keep the waterfalls clean, something I really appreciate. If you’re visiting during a Thai public holiday, be prepared for large crowds. Otherwise, on normal days, it’s peaceful and very enjoyable. There’s also a campground if you want to stay overnight, and nearby spots like the Erawan Dam are worth checking out too. Entrance Fees (as of 2025): •Thai Adults: 100 THB | Thai Children: 50 THB •Foreign Adults: 300 THB | Foreign Children: 200 THB Overall, this park is 100% worth the trip, beautiful nature, clean water, and well-maintained trails. A must-visit if you’re in Kanchanaburi!

Erawan Waterfall is a truly beautiful place, surrounded by lush green forest and a peaceful natural atmosphere. The facilities are convenient and reasonably priced, making it easy for anyone to enjoy the trip without worry. The waterfall and the surrounding forest are well-preserved, and visitors from many countries come to experience its charm. The staff are kind, helpful, and attentive. They make sure everyone is safe, whether it’s providing life jackets or keeping an eye on the hiking areas. Food options are varied, and prices are fair with no hidden charges. There are also comfortable shuttle services to and from the town, which makes the whole trip even smoother. It’s the kind of place that leaves you with a warm feeling — the beauty, the friendly people, and the relaxing atmosphere all make you want to come back again

This national park has a ratger expensive admission (100THB for the locals and 300THB for the foreigners). Due to the popularity of this national park, getting into the park by car including the waiting time at the entrance for payment would take at least half hour. Howwver, there are plenty of parking spaces which drivers do not have to worry about. The park is huge so consider spending at least whole day. There are 7 levels of waterfalls and each of them has its own uniqueness and difficulty. Overall the exprience was not too good because there are simply too many people, but I would recommend to visit there at least once in your lifetime.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Erawan National Park is one of the best attractions in Kanchanaburi. It has seven beautiful waterfall levels, each with clear blue water where you can swim and relax. The hike to the top takes about 1.5–2 hours, and the trail is well-marked. There are food stalls, rest areas, and clean facilities near the entrance. Best to visit early in the morning to avoid the crowd and enjoy the cooler weather. Highly recommended for nature and adventure lovers! 🌿💧

300 Baht for foreigners. There are 7 levels(waterfalls). It took about 90 minutes to complete (from bottom to top & back down to the bottom), with short photo stops & excluding swimming. It can get steep at some point but it's all worth it. Make sure to bring lots of water, towels, change of clothes & a little cash & good vibes!

An amazing park with lots of pools and waterfalls, with seven points having a really convenient, organized entrance that is worth the price. The hike up the mountain to waterfall 7 is both beautiful and pleasant on clear, cold days. We spent 3 hours there without anyone noticing. It was amazing, highly recommend.

History museum
The JEATH War Museum in Kanchanaburi offers a poignant look into the suffering of prisoners of war during the construction of the Thailand-Burma railway. The museum features photographs, equipment, and a bamboo house that replicates the living conditions of POWs. Visitors can gain insight into the harsh realities faced by Allied forces under Japanese occupation during World War II. Despite its small size, it provides a moving tribute to those who endured such hardships.
The day after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese invaded Thailand (Dec 8th 1941) 10 days later they sign a treaty with Thais to build a railway through to Burma (Myanmar) as they wanted to take the British colony including India without exposing themselves to British U-boats in the Indian ocean. Thais agreed but not to include Thais in the construction. 6 months later POWs from Singapore are brought into Thailand 16 months (Nov 1943) the railway is complete with the loss of 100,000 Asians and Ally POW's Railway is only used for 20 months before the Allies bomb the Bridge over the River Kwai Today not all of the 415km track is used, and only 5% of those who died are recorded in burials

I think what I liked most about this museam would be the artistry and story telling. Here you will learn not only about WW2 but also important changes of power over the centuries. Through the wall of art you will learn about multiple struggles between Loas, Cambodia, Thailand, Bruma and Vietnam. In addition to learning about royalty and local customs. The museam is situation as the main attraction but has several stores and eateries around it. Of course the landscape is gorgeous and something I have emphasized within this review.

The museum itself is not very big, neither are there really informative signs. But there are many pictures at display here. The shocking pictures are horrifying, and it shows you how cruel the history was at the place where you are standing at. Recommended for a visit!

Not so much to say about the place. When you get there, you need to see a 9-minute video presentation about the history of the railway construction on how the prisoners of war built it. On how the prisoners of war was maltreated, and how many people have died during that time. Taking photos are not allowed inside the museum. The museum is the jump off area to the railway by speed boat.

Nov 2020. 50 baht. They tried, but this is basically a bunch of tired old photos and paintings in a gallery. A few old war relics in a case round out an underwhelming tour. Allow 10 mins. The Death Railway museum (Thailand-Burma Railway Centre) is the best memorial museum in the city.

Popular menu items include coconut milk fish curry, pineapple fried rice, tom yum, and cappuccino. Next to Keeree Tara is The Village Farm To Cafe, a modern wooden cafe nestled among mountains with a bamboo tunnel for leisurely strolls.

Delicious vegan dishes. We had the Red Curry, Tom Yum and Tempura Vegs. All dishes were beautifully seasoned and prepared with love. Also the portions are quite large for the price you pay. Priced very reasonably. To drink we tried the Hibiscus tea and Ginger tea (both cold drinks). Very refreshing. Highly recommend.

A vegetarian restaurant with many fully vegan options. The restaurant is located in the heart of Kanchanaburi’s backpackers street and caters mostly to foreigners. Seems they modify their dishes to fit foreigners palate which in my opinion really takes away from the authentic Thai flavor. The food is clean and portions are huge, prices are moderate. Good restaurant, just not my favorite.

Tucked in the middle of nowhere, this restaurant is highly recommended if you are nearby. The food was authentic and tasted really good. And the place is huge! Pineapple rice had a special spice added to it. The cabbage although looked simple, it was well seasoned. The fried veggie was served with a really good unique sauce. The otah was out of the world. Only wish the fish was in the middle of the pot rather than the bottom. The coconut lime seafood soup was more sour unlike the usual milk coconut base. The river snail with veggies was also good. The curry had a spicy punch to it. Dessert was preserved mango which is apparently very hard to find even in Thailand!

Great spot for authentic Thai food in Kanchanaburi. This is in the same family of Keeree Tara River Kwai restaurant.

The restaurant is huge, with a beautiful garden and an amazing mountain view. Service was excellent, and the place is super clean—you can tell they take hygiene seriously, even in the bathrooms.

When in Kanchanaburi, a visit to the local night bazaars is a must. The JJ Night Market near the railroad station is a lively shopping spot divided into food and clothing stalls, offering affordable prices and delicious local cuisine. While smaller than those in bigger cities, it's still worth exploring for great deals on various items.
By far the best market in Kanchanaburi. Definitely worth a look at the food options.

Great night market. Very convenient if you are staying in the River Kwai road area. On rainy nights the vendors may pack up early so plan accordingly. Pro tips: there is a Hoy Tod seller towards the back left corner that makes delicious food as well as a Laarb seller in the middle left. The sellers form a corridor that causes you to go around like a maze, I recommend that you do an entire lap and look at everything and then double back and make your purchases. Then if there is anything else you need you can hit seben right across the street. I go to this JJ market every time I visit Kanchanaburi now!

Nice market. There is nowhere to sit, and no bin, everyone piles trash up on the sidewalk. Personally I find it overstimulating because it’s very busy and impossible to rest. The children’s play area is great tho, 30 baht for 20 mins on the bouncy castle and trampolines and you can buy and paint plaster figurines. Also if you get some food and drinks before you take your kids there, you can sit down and eat at the kids painting table. Theres even a small garbage bin there! My daughter left her sandals there and we came back the next day and they were still there. The massages are outside of the market stalls, to the far left, if your facing into the market from the street. 30 mins for 100 baht and it was incredible. Also there are toilet there, you have to pay 3 baht in small coins into a turnstile, but the toilets are very clean, there a woman in there with a sewing machine who will mind your stuff

Such a good night market, there's almost anything for everyone. Too bad today is raining. You can get lots of great food, for almost every palate and every taste. Also the non food item stalls are a plenty... Will try come back if there is no rain. Really enjoyed my short time visiting.

Great food 😅 just make sure to leave some space until you completely done in the food area, some really nice tasty desserts and very very cheap. Head through a little earlier than when it's dark. I went late the night before and there wasn't as much food stalls as there was tonight.

A truly amazing array of foods, to suit the very adventurous and the not-so-adventurous. Everything from chicken on a stick to butterfly pupae and wok-fried crickets. It's all there! Fantastic

Good Times Restaurant is a riverside dining spot that offers a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a diverse menu featuring Thai and European cuisine. While some visitors find the food to be somewhat bland, others praise dishes like the Tom Yum Egg Tofu and jungle curry. The restaurant's location by the river provides a lovely ambiance with smooth music playing in the background. Guests appreciate the reasonable prices for quality meals and enjoy the picturesque setting with tropical fish nearby.
The location on atmosphere is amazing. Services very good. People are very friendly prices are so reasonable.. we had breakfast with Thai omelette, tomato club sandwich and garlic bread. The portions are big. It was too much for two person.. smoothies are also very delicious

Amazing place! Very cozy atmosphere and delicious food. I like that you can choose level of spiciness. We got mild tom yam kung and no spicy fish in lime and chili soup. Happy that we chose this restaurant for our dinner.

So nice. Relaxing. Yummy eats. Very chill setting. Looking for fancy - not your spot. 4 people, 2 strawberry smoothies, 1 banana smoothie, 2 large beers + 4 mains = 1.1k thb. So good.

We had a lovely meal in this restaurant. Good to find some mediterranean meals for a little break while traveling. I had a chicken steak some chips and veggies. The view is amazing A few mosquitos around but they have mosquito spray there to apply which was amazing

Excellent! Lovely place, we sat by the river and there's lovely fairy lights and bug spray. We had morning glory (this is a given for every meal for us in thailand) and i had the Kaeng Liang Shrimp soup mild, which was still quite spicy but very tasty - just like i like it! My partner had the chicken steak and she did thoroughly enjoy it! Banana and coconut milk is delicious, we tried as curious

While it’s tempting to sit under the bridge, the food leaves something to be desired. Perhaps the worst Thai meal I’ve ever had. I hate to say that because staff is nice, etc, but even spring rolls were soggy and awful. I wouldn’t recommend at all!
