The bridge offers scenic views of the surrounding reservoir and local life, with many highlighting the beautiful scenery at sunrise and sunset. I enjoy walking across the functional pedestrian bridge, observing traditional Mon houses, and experiencing the local way of life. The surrounding area features small eateries and craft stalls.

The view is nice and you can experience the local culture. One thing I dont like is that the parent use the kids especially the younger gals offer to take photo wt tourist and get some money. Other than the bridge walk the surrounding hygiene level is poor and it is full of used plastic. For the journey to reach this place if you don't join the monk offering then I don't think it's worth the travel.

Mon Bridge is where culture and nature gently meet. Walking along the long wooden bridge in the early morning mist, you can feel the rhythm of village life unfold — monks collecting alms, Mon villagers greeting each other softly, and long-tail boats gliding across the calm reservoir. On one side, you see traditional wooden houses and temple spires; on the other, green hills wrapping around the water like a quiet embrace. It’s not just a viewpoint, but a living cultural corridor. Crossing Mon Bridge lets you slow down, breathe in the cool air, and witness how people, traditions, and nature still live in harmony.

A wooden bridge built for connect the Mon village and Thai village across the dam. It's an iconic place for people visiting the Mon village to shoot some photos.

According to the locals in Sangkhla Buri, Mon Bridge is a major attraction in the city, 850 meters long and the longest wooden bridge in Thailand. I came out a little crooked in relation to the bridge, so I ended up walking the bamboo bridge to the other side, where there are cafes and restaurants, and walked back over Mon Bridge. A nice walk of about 1.75 kilometers round trip, where you also see both restaurants and accommodations, as well as private residences on rafts on both sides of the bridge.

A motorcycle ride to Mon Bridge is unforgettable—scenic mountain roads, fresh air, and a stunning wooden bridge with a peaceful village vibe at the end. Mon Bridge in Sangkhla Buri is a must-visit in Kanchanaburi—Thailand’s longest wooden bridge, built by the Mon community. Walking across feels peaceful and cultural, especially at sunrise when the mist covers the river and locals give alms to monks. The views are stunning, the atmosphere is unique, and the nearby Mon village adds so much charm. A beautiful mix of history, tradition, and scenery all in one place

Mon Bridge is a great sight and experience in Sangkla Buri. At the north end of the bridge there is a great restaurant with good views of the bridge

The Three Pagoda Pass is a land border crossing between Thailand and Myanmar and is named after the three pagodas that are located on the Thai side of the border. The Three Pagoda Pass has been an important trade route for centuries. It was used by the ancient Khmer Empire, and later by the Burmese and Thai kingdoms. These pagodas are said to have been built in the 11th century by King Anawratha of Pagan. The Three Pagoda Pass is a popular tourist destination, however, the border crossing is not open to foreigners. The site is good for a nice stroll. Very close is a nice market and various options for a decent cup of coffee.

Historic area with a lot of shops. Free Parking is available nearby. What I love is there are also lots of natural attraction nearby.

This place was great! It is full of history and mystery. I loved learning about the history of Thailand, Myanmar, and even Japan constructing its railroad thru Thailand and Burma back in WWII. As usual, people was very nice, food was great, and sight-seen/photo-ops were in abundance. We could not cross to Myanmar that day because of some issues in the border at the moment. But being so close was enough to have me wanting to go back!

Recently visited but the border is closed due to not good conditions of Burma interest

The border of Thailand and Myanmar. 20minuites from Sangklaburi.

The check point where you can pass to Burma. It is worth to have the feeling of local market in Burma.

Peaceful market. Just 20 minutes drive from the city. On the half way you can stop to swim in the river. There is a small market with burmanese and Thai handscrafts

I visited the Underwater Temple, and this place is a hidden gem with a mysterious, almost eerie beauty. 🌊🏯 Depending on the season, you’ll either see the temple ruins partially submerged in water or fully exposed when the water level is low. Either way, it’s a surreal sight that feels like something out of an ancient legend. Getting there usually involves a boat ride, which adds to the adventure. 🚤✨ The temple itself may not be grand like other Thai temples, but the unique setting and the history behind it make it special. If you’re into off-the-beaten-path experiences and love places with a bit of mystery, this is definitely worth a visit—just check the water levels before you go to know what kind of view you’ll get!

A formally Mon temple Wich is sink after the dam was built. The new temple was moved to a higher ground.

Nice ride in motor boat that leads to underwater temple. Not much to see here, everything is under water. It's possible to take pictures, but mostly when you are closer to the parts remaining above the water. There are some traditional houses on your way to this place, which I liked.

The view is good from boat (you can get boat from mon-bridge it about 600 baht for 3 place ) you can go inside it when the water is down (enter there is free). try get water with you is batter .

I visit during First week of January, this place need to watch out for the season if you wish to see the whole temple

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) Wat Wang Wiwekharam (Old) is a submerged temple. Over 100 years old. During low water, you can walk inside the chapel and its surroundings. Travel by boat from the Mon Bridge. The boat stops at three temples: Wat Submerged, Wat Somdej Kao, and Wat Sri Suwan. Boat fare: 400 baht per boat. During low water, from March to July. Sangkhlaburi District, Kanchanaburi Province.

If you are interested in Mon style architecture and the Mon people, then Wat Wang Wiwekaram is a great place to visit. It is a beautiful and peaceful temple that is full of history and culture. You can distinguish the Mon style from the Thai- or Ayuthaya style by comparing the shape, size, and decoration of the pagodas or stupas. The Mon pagodas tend to be more slender and taller than the Thai ones, and they often have a lotus-shaped finial at the top. The Mon pagodas also have more elaborate carvings and sculptures on their walls and niches, while the Thai pagodas are plain. This temple is the spiritual center of the Mon people in Thailand and is dedicated to Luang Pho Uttama, a revered monk who was born in Myanmar and died in 1983. The temple was built in 1953 by Luang Pho Uttama and a group of Karen and Mon immigrants. It is a large complex that includes a main Buddha image, a museum, and a library. Wat Wang Wiwekaram is a popular tourist destination and is especially busy during the annual Mon Festival, which is held in February. The temple is also a popular place for Thai people to come to pray and seek blessings from Luang Pho Uttama.

A Buddhist temple in Mon architecture. A place of a Mable Buddha statue. It's a famous and respectful for Mon people. It's moved here after the Dam was built and sink the old one.

Very beautiful Buddhist temple.

One of the highlights of Mon Community's Songkran Festival at Sangkhla Buri is using bamboo water spouts for pouring water on monks instead of pouring water on them directly. The traditional ceremony will happen on 17th April every year. I had a chance to be there 2 years in a row. Very impressive. #watwangwiwekaram #buddhakayapagoda #songkranfestival #montraditionalsongkranfestival #sangkhlaburi #thongphaphum #kanchanaburi

Complex of multiple temples close to each other. This is not Thai style so you can feel a little bit of Nepal in Thailand. Not the coolest thing I have ever seen, but it's close to Chedi Phutthakhaya. So if you are already close to the place, pay a visit also to this temple complex.

Amazing and beautiful trample.

What do we get when you mix Mon and Thai architecture in one place and here we are. I just love the decal from the inside and the out side of this temple.

We made a stop at Khao Laem National Park to check out Kratengjeng Waterfall. Due to the rain, we didn't venture far and only saw the immediate area. ​The campsite near the stream is available, but it's not as scenic or well-equipped as the one at Pom pi site.

We stopped to camp over night and were very happy. Very clean compared to other national parks. Right on the road so there was no travel time to get anywhere. Camped right on the river which was fun for playing in the cold water. It's only 5m wide and thigh deep at most where we were there so great for kids. Food and drinks available during daylight hours and really cheap for everything. Tickets get you into both parts of the park with the lake sunset view or the river part. 4 person family was 6USD for the night to camp with our tents. Rangers on site all night and very safe feeling here with lovely views

If you’re venturing into western Thailand and seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure, Khao Laem National Park in Kanchanaburi Province is a destination worth exploring. Established in 1987, this expansive park covers approximately 1,500 square kilometers and is part of the Western Forest Complex, a significant conservation area in the region.  The park’s diverse landscapes include mixed deciduous and evergreen forests, limestone mountains, and the serene Khao Laem Reservoir. This variety of habitats supports a rich array of wildlife, such as Asiatic black bears, elephants, various deer species, and even tigers. Birdwatchers will also find the area rewarding, with numerous endemic species to observe.  For those interested in outdoor activities, Khao Laem offers several options. Trekking routes provide opportunities to explore the forest and discover attractions like waterfalls and caves. Water-based activities, including rafting, canoeing, and kayaking, are available on the reservoir. One notable trekking destination is San Nok Wua, the highest peak in the park, offering panoramic views and a challenging hike for enthusiasts.  The park is also rich in cultural sites. Nearby Sangkhlaburi is home to the Mon Bridge, Thailand’s longest wooden bridge, and the Wat Wang Wiwekaram temple. These sites reflect the area’s cultural diversity and are integral parts of the local community.  Visitor Tips: • Best Time to Visit: The cooler months from November to January offer pleasant weather, making it ideal for trekking and other outdoor activities.  • Getting There: The park is accessible via Highway 323, approximately 190 km from Kanchanaburi.  • Accommodation: Options range from camping sites within the park to local guesthouses in nearby towns. • Guides: Hiring a local guide can enhance your experience, especially for treks to remote areas. Khao Laem National Park offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural richness, providing a tranquil alternative to more frequented tourist spots. Whether you’re an avid trekker, a wildlife enthusiast, or someone seeking cultural insights, this park has something to offer.

One of my favorite National Parks in Thailand. Great campsites and nice lake ti watch the sunset. There is no need to bring a tent and other camping gear, the National Park has everything for rent. The fee is more expensive for foreigners compared to Thais which I don't normally agree with this rule but I think for this National Park it is totally worth it. They also have restaurant inside the park, real authentic thai food and very hot (spicy).

Amazon countryside with waterfalls and nature roads without any signs . You can see snakes even on the roads and fishing village floating on the river and much more nature experiences if you step off you bike and just go to discover yourself and the area. Oh yes and sometime people give you a ride when you hitchhiking but the other day you must give it back to someone to keep the balance!

Khao Laem National Park covers the surrounding fertile forest of Khao Laem Reservoir in Sangkla Buri and Amphur Thong Pha Phum , which suit for tourism and recreation. Khao Laem National Park is one of the five National Parks that was setting to honor the 60th Year Anniversary of King Bhumibhol on the 5th December 1987, with total area of 1,497 km2

It's a great place to camp against the backdrop of the lake, and it's hot during the day, but there's a cool breeze after 8 p.m.

WOW! What a surreal experience, the gold temple can be seen from the lake, shimmering, majestic, towering and glowing! The temple has an array of gongs, many intricate decorations, tapestries and spectacular architecture. I also loved the photography flanking some of the corridors. Truly surreal and beautiful, also an interesting history as the founding Monk was revered for his ability to bring the various groups together, Mon, Karen and Thai. Can't wait to return! PS: This place isn't touristy at all (no Westerners) only Thai tourists.

A large and beautiful building, with lots of decoration and statues. Here it is clean and nice, in quiet surroundings. The area in front of the Stupa has many sales stalls, for both food and drink, souvenirs, clothes and other items. The car park is in front of the place, and has plenty of spaces.

One of the 3 major landmarks of Songkhlaburi perched high on the mountain. A gold magnet that demands to be seen close up. Close up it is even more impressive as you can appreciate its size and architecture. Inside there are number of buddha statues. The main one where most people pray and make offerings is on top of the main stairs.

Wonderful place to visit. Very unique golden stupa and many different beautiful sacred areas around it. There’s a lot of small shops and food stalls around the temple area and the dogs here are pretty relaxed about visitors. Definitely a place worth visiting

Buddhakaya Chedi - a Buddhist stupa - is a replica of the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India, where the Buddha attained enlightenment. The stupa is made of white concrete and is surrounded by a lotus pond. It is a popular tourist destination and is said to be a place of great spiritual energy. Overall, Buddhakaya Chedi is a beautiful and spiritual place that is worth visiting. If you are looking for a place to relax and connect with your inner peace, then this is the place for you.

A Buddhist place stored The relics of the Lord Buddha.

Don't miss an opportunity to take a picture of Buddha in motion, as it's definitely not something common. Buddha is outside of the main building. What was interesting for me was to see women doing reconstruction of the floor close to the entrance of the temple. Is seems that genders in Thailand are really equal.

This was BY FAR my favorite stay in Thailand! The host is superb, with a true passion for making guest feeling welcomed and at home. The house is spotless, rooms are spacious and well kept, and the Villa is very close to the nearby attractions. I am about to leave and I am already looking forward to my next stay

we slept here for 2 nights and it was by far the best 2 nights of our trip true thailand. the owners of the house were so nice and friendly. we made dinner with them and we ate with them is was a realy nice time spending here! we also tries some food out of there garden and that was so delicious. the appartment is also very clear and nicely decorated. I really enjoyed the nice time here! Thank You!

Villa Scenns is definitely the best place to stay in Sangkhlaburi! Super comfy spacious room, lovely garden view. There is a common area with kitchen and chill out place. The owners Sai and Charles are the nicest hosts I ever stayed with. It felt so much like home while having dinner with them (yummie Pad Krapao and an awesome soup) and talking till late night. They have a lovely garden where they grow many fruits, vegetables and herbs. Sai gives cooking classes which I unfortunately found out too late, otherwise I would definitely have booked a course. I can't wait to come back with my boyfriend one day, showing him this lovely place.

I did a series of vegan Thai cooking classes with Sai and I can honestly say it is some of the BEST Thai food I have ever eaten! Sai is incredibly knowledgeable about ingredients, flavours and food combinations and gives lots of great tips and tricks while cooking. She is such a lovely, kind-hearted woman and you can tell she puts a lot of love into her cooking. She also loves a laugh so cooking with her is an incredibly informative but also very fun experience! All of the ingredients came fresh from the local markets and their incredible vegetable garden, noticeable in the incredible flavours of the dishes you make. I am so, SO happy I went to Sai's cooking class and I honestly cannot wait to start cooking these amazing dishes at home! If you are looking for an authentic Thai cooking experience then you MUST do one of Sai's classes!

great place to stay...quiete, relaxing garden view, mountains & river view from the room , nice and clean comfortable, Highly recommendation , very happy to stay here thank you very much..Ms.Sai & Mr.Charles...both you guys so friendly and helpful November 2018

Stayed here a few years ago now. Clean accommodation and friendly owner. Would recommend.

Great view, comfortable bed, hospitality second to none, very clean & quiet, spacious; overall wonderful experience

The Pomphee Viewpoint and Campsite is a beautiful spot. The restaurant serves great food for only 220 baht. You'll find lots of birds here, and the breeze is cool and refreshing. ​However, there are a few things to keep in mind. You have to park your car a good distance from the campsite. If you're camping, you'll need to use a trolley at the entrance to bring in your gear. This makes it a bit of a challenge for campers, and it's probably not a good option if you have a lot of equipment. ​While it might not be the best choice for camping, the chalets are a great option if you just want to visit the scenic spot and the nearby Mon Bridge. It's also worth noting they have a few spots for motorhomes or car camping. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit for the stunning views and serene atmosphere.

Located in a national park. Great place for a break. The views are gorgeous, the wooden huts are cute. They offer food but it's mostly simple dishes pre cooked these days and frankly they are not very good. Still worth the time and money to get in the park. Entry to the park is 40 thb for Thai and much more for foreigners (I think 200). With showing a Thai drivers license we got away with 60 thb which is worth it. Not sure I would be willing to pay much more though. As a side note. On weekends it can get busy to the point where it is just too full with people and looses a lot of it's charge. Also they seem to offer comping options which I could not figure out where those are located but that could be fun in this elevated location with the views over the lake and the fresh cool breeze that comes from the water around.

Located within the headquarters area of Khao Laem National Park, the viewpoint offers a breathtaking view of the reservoir of the dam, surrounded by a serene and picturesque landscape. A bit walk from the parking lot.

Very nice and clean camping / scenic spot - part of the national park reserve. From my short visit, the facilities looked good and clean. A small restaurant there along with decent waste management and trolleys to help load things from the car park to the camping grounds.

Any place with dual pricing gets a 1 star deduction by default. Other than that it is possibly one of the best places to get a view of sunset without having to be on top of the hill. I visited during summer and during the pandemic so it was kind of empty.

Is very nice place, the Lake side area is very peaceful, it is convenient transportation take about 2 hours from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi city and take another 2 hours to Pom Pee view point. If it's during the holidays or weekend, there will be a lot of people.

Well cleaned camp area in national park. Entrance fee of foreigner is 200THB, for Thai people is only 40THB.

They ask me 400 bath to get in and 30 bath for my thai girlfriend, I guess they don’t want to see tourists. There is another waterfall on the way there and it’s free.

Fun hike (and swim) along the river in the jungle to several small waterfalls.

I took a Motor Bike from Sangkhlaburi on October 5, 2018. This place was closed!! Don't waste your time and Don't go there without lates local confirmation!

Clear water in the river, the waterfall is small.

Pretty palace but definitely not worth the 200 bath they're asking for the entrance! I would pay no more than 60.

A true walk in nature. Surrounded by bamboo trees and creepy crawlies. Bit out of the way but well worth a couple of hours.

(Translated by Google) Please give me a real review. It's a beautiful waterfall, even though it doesn't fall from a high mountain. But personally, I like the mystery of the forest. When my friends and I went, it was already 3:00 p.m. and the park will close at 4:30. At first the officials wouldn't let us in but we had come a long way. So they allowed me to go in and take pictures and then let me out. The distance is almost 2 kilometers. The road is quite scary haha. Feel the refreshing atmosphere of nature. It took us 12 minutes to walk to get there. It was beautiful, but on the way back we ran out. I'm scared haha.
