Sights & Landmarks
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.

The temple we made our second visit from six years ago, recently they have an elevator in construction the time we went on June2025. It's worth going up, the huge Buddha architecture is stunning and the peaceful rice fields view from above are all the elements that made me want to come pay a visit again.
Vi C — Google review
if you’re up for a serious climb, excited by views and meditation, and respectful of the temple’s spiritual side. It’s a sweaty, tough trek—but the summit will leave you feeling accomplished, energized, and more than a little inspired.

Cafe
MEENA Cafe, located in Thailand, is a trendy spot surrounded by rice fields and offering a beautiful view of the Tiger Cave Temple. It's known as one of the most Instagrammable cafes in the area. The cafe provides great panoramic views of Wat Tham Suea, making it an ideal place for taking pictures and admiring the temple complex's beauty. Additionally, visitors can explore nearby attractions such as The Death Railway and enjoy a refreshing smoothie after visiting the temples.
Great cafe in the middle of nowhere just outside Kanchanaburi. Amazingly nice thought through, good cool drinks and finger food (as well as small portions of proper food). Do not miss it if in the area. Only drawback is that they seem to be victims of their success, we arrived at 14:45 and lots of things on the menu were no longer available (neither food nor drinks)
Roxana L — Google review
Wow, what a place to hang out in the afternoon. The view and atmosphere is just stunning. You have to purchase something from the shop (ie, drink, desert, etc). They have a good selection of drink (coffee, cold drink, etc), as well as the desert. They are not very sweet at all. We went in last August, where all the rice has already been harvested. But we get to see a farmer hard at work.
Tommy O — Google review
There are many photo spots and many seating areas to choose from. The view behind is the beautiful Tiger Cave Temple. The food prices are cafe prices, the taste is good, and there is parking available. You can experience the rice field atmosphere, which is suitable for coming in the morning and evening. It is very hot during the day, but everyone is fighting. It is very hot, but it is worth coming

Beautiful cafe in the greens and nature. Lots of sitting places and different setup. Have many drinks and food options. Pizza base was below standard though. I am sure, Thai food would be good to chose there. In terms of service, There is ample scope of improvement by being little welcoming and smiling.

Meena Cafe is an absolute gem! We stopped by for an iced cappuccino and it was perfect – smooth, well-balanced, and super refreshing in the warm weather. But what truly makes this place special is the incredible view. Sipping coffee while overlooking the lush rice fields and the beautiful temple in the distance was such a peaceful and memorable experience. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, with plenty of great photo spots all around. Highly recommended if you’re in the area – it’s the perfect mix of great drinks and stunning scenery!

The cafe surpassed my expectations. The view and setting was much more beautiful than I thought it would be. It was pleasantly busy at 2pm on a Saturday but not totally rammed with people taking photos. Also everyone was very considerate of each other. The drinks and food were tasty and the staff friendly. Very glad we went. Make sure you have a way of getting back though as I could not have called a Grab.

5 minutes drive away from Wat Tham Suea, and you will step into surreal paradise. It's probably one of the best cafes I have been to compared to the popular cafes in SG, Johor Bahru and Kyoto. The food and drinks prices here ranges from 70-120 baht which I find pretty reasonable given a tourist spot. The food is good, although the spice seems to be toned down for foreigners. English menu available too. Go on a weekday if you want to avoid the crowd.

The Giant Raintree, also known as the Giant Monkey Pod Tree, is a must-see attraction in Kanchanaburi. This over 100-year-old chamchuri tree is a popular stop for visitors exploring the beautiful countryside surrounding Kanchanaburi. While it wasn't initially on the itinerary for some travelers, its massive and ancient presence makes it a worthwhile visit.
An iconic, gigantic Jamjuree tree, astonishingly fresh air, and peaceful surroundings — if you’re looking to connect with nature, relax, and unwind, this place is for you. There are also several local shops nearby offering refreshing cold beverages and delicious Thai food. Free entrance. Restrooms are available at the back of the area. Plenty of parking spaces. Perfect spot for taking photos and videos! I’ll definitely come back again if I get the chance.
Thanawat S — Google review
I've been here many times over the years, when it wasn't so crowded. I used to meditate on the tree roots. This time, there are so many people and many cars parked. They've built walkways encircling the big trees, and there's a coffee shop on the lawn, which creates a nice, different atmosphere. And today, I also got to take photos of butterflies with the flowers."

It's really big giant tree. We came here and stood under those big branches. Listening the wind on top of leaves as the ocean 's waves. Around of the giant tree is parking lot, cafe, camping zone. Free entry ticket. Although the Google map informed closing time at 5pm. However, no gate or lock there. You can visit the giant tree anytime, even after 5 pm.

Tucked away in the countryside of Kanchanaburi, the Giant Rain Tree (also called the Big Tree or Monkey Pod Tree) is an unexpected and peaceful gem that showcases the quiet beauty of nature in Thailand. Visit early in the morning or late afternoon for the best lighting and fewer crowds. Bring some water, as it can get quite hot and there’s not much shade beyond the tree itself.

If you are in this area, then drive past this place, The Giant Monkey Pod Tree, also called the Giant Rain Tree. You will find this gigantic tree near Wat Tham Mangkon Thong, in Kanchanaburi Province It is estimated to be well over 3-400 years old with a huge crown that would take 60 men to embrace it. The tree's branches spread out widely, forming an almost circular roof. The tree is surrounded by a quiet park, and small paths and benches have been made so that you can walk around and admire it. It is a popular place among both locals and tourists, and it is free to visit. FREE entre

Yep, indeed a huge tree! 🌳 it’s always awesome to see Nature at its best. 😊 I hope it grows bigger. 😁 There are small local shops nearby where you can get drinks and snacks. Avoid littering. Have a good time! Good to pay respect as well. 🫡 it’s over 150 years old.

The Kanchanaburi SkyWalk offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, mountains, and the colorful Kwae Yai and Kwae Noi rivers. Visitors can enjoy a stunning sunset view and a cool evening breeze by visiting around 5-6 pm. The entrance fee is THB 60 per person.
it’s a great spot to catch the sunset with a beautiful river view. The entrance fee is just 60 THB for adults (cash only). I didn’t go up myself because I didn’t have cash at the time, but it looked worth it, especially in the evening. I visited in July and the weather was nice. There’s also a peaceful riverside park nearby, well maintained by the government. Locals come here to relax, jog, exercise, or just enjoy the view. There’s even a small skate park and some food stalls around. It’s a calm, local area that’s perfect for a slow evening after exploring the town. Close: 19:00

The Skywalk Glass Bridge in Kanchanaburi is a well-maintained and safe attraction. The glass floor feels secure, and the surrounding views are stunning. I recommend visiting around 4 PM or later to avoid the midday heat and enjoy the scenery in more pleasant light.
Val S — Google review
A new destination in Kanchanaburi. It's a glass floor bridge about 12 meters height. It's 60 THB for each person, elderly just 30 THB. I recommend visit here in morning or on cloudy day. In sunny day you might burn. You may parking in frontage road or a parking area in opposite.

Kanchanaburi Skywalk (Song Kwae Skywalk) The Kanchanaburi Skywalk is a relatively new and exciting landmark in the city, offering a modern way to experience the area's famous natural beauty and riverside life. • Glass Walkway: The most notable feature is the 150-meter-long walkway with a transparent glass floor. Standing 12 meters above the ground, it provides a thrilling, bird's-eye perspective of the rivers and the surrounding city, making for excellent photos. • The Two-Tone River View: The Skywalk is strategically built near the confluence (the meeting point) of the Khwae Yai River and the Khwae Noi River, which combine to form the Mae Klong River. From the Skywalk, visitors get a clear panoramic view of where these rivers—often with slightly different water colors—merge. • Panoramic Vistas: It offers a true 360-degree view, encompassing not only the rivers and the surrounding mountains but also nearby historical and cultural sites, such as riverside temples and the local community that lives on floating houses (rafts). • Atmosphere: The area is designed to be a vibrant public space. It’s particularly popular during the evening when the structure lights up, and when the adjacent Walking Street (night market) is open on Saturday nights, adding to the lively local atmosphere. Visitor Information • Location: The Skywalk is situated in the Mueang District, near the Kanchanaburi City Pillar Shrine. • Admission: There is a small fee (typically 60 THB) that covers the cost of special shoe coverings that must be worn to protect the glass floor.

I've stayed at riverside hotels in this province many times for relaxation, but this is my first time at the glass bridge. The fee to go up and see the atmosphere of the river, sky, and mountains was well worth it for the view.

This is probably the best sightseeing site I have visited for my entire kanchanaburi 4 day trip. Value for money too, 60 baht covers both the locker deposit and anti-slip slippers (unlike most other touristy areas which charges for these add-ons). Cash or promptpay only. Mostly domestic tourists, and can be crowded during their public holiday

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.

Probably the night market with the largest offering in kanchanaburi. Love how most stalls offer small servings, so u can leave your stomach to try different foods. Be careful not to over-order as the temptations are real!
Gary C — Google review
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.

Museums
Bridge
Specialty Museums
River Khwae Bridge, also known as the Death Railway, is a historic bridge and rail line constructed by prisoners of war during World War II. It has gained notoriety through its association with the movie 'River Kwai Bridge' and is a key tourist attraction in Kanchanaburi. Visitors can explore the area's harrowing past by visiting important World War II sites such as the Allied War Cemetery, Thailand-Burma Railway Center, and Hellfire Pass.
If you're into classic trains and world war 2 history then this place is a good site for visiting. You'll see the bridge which you can get on at and walk over. The train is actually quite slow so you'll have plenty of time to avoid it. Plenty of people wave at the train as it crosses the bridge which is a cool video to take. This place is free to visit.

My 91 year old father returned to Thailand after 51 years to visit me and my girlfriend. We decided to bring him to this historic area seeing how he is a history buff. He served in the United States Air Force. He loved seeing and touching things he had read about or seen in movies. I am happy to create memories with him in this capacity.

4th October 2025: Historic location to visit, we visited at the start of the tourist season and it was ok, would imagine in high season the whole area is extremely busy. There is a POW camp on the other side of the river, the place is a total myth and tourist trap as no camp ever existed there. Plenty to see in the bridge area with the museum and cemetery in close proximity.

It is a nice place to visit, it is a must for those who care about history. Everything about the place says "old." Not very well maintained. The museum is mostly old and faded pictures. The bridge need some fixing. The train looks like it hasn't been updated since 1942. But, this is Thailand, not big on maintenence. The market is cool, but same old trinkets.

We were there on a Sunday afternoon and a train was passing through. It was a good place to relects on action that was done by a party to another and the impact to the future.

This place is a very scenic area, the river, the green hills in the background, and the old trains make it great for photos. You can walk across the bridge but just watch out for the tourist train that occasionally comes through. There are lots of food stalls, coffee shops, and souvenir stores around, so it’s easy to spend an hour here. I visited around 2 PM, it was not too hot, and the light was beautiful.

Have you come to Kanchanaburi to see the bridge over the River Kwai? - then I highly recommend you have a pit stop in this restaurant. They have good food, friendly service and the best view of the old railway bridge in town. It doesn't get any better. There aren't that many trains, so I recommend you match the times so you both get the experience of the train coming over the bridge so fast that even turtles can overtake the train :-)

Great location, beautiful views, love the restaurants' overall decor and vibe. They had these large family style wood tables, which were quite impressive. The restaurant was also conveniently close to our hotel. The river and bridge views from our table were great.

Restaurant right beside the Kwae River. The food is ok. The service is also ok. The price is reasonable. We got 2 dished of whole fish. One is deep fried served with fried garlic and one is steamed with limes and chili. The deep fried one is crispy from head to tail. The steamed one is a little spicy. The Thai style omelet is a little oily. The fried rice is good. The papaya salad is also good. Overall the food is good. The view is great and that adds to the meal. The service is fast. The location is great. We stopped by for a late lunch after the canoe trip, so we were very hungry.

Very good location, right next to the night market and to a seven eleven. It did get very noisy at night and you could hear it from the room, the beds were also very hard. The staff working there was very sweet though! And the bathrooms were clean. It definitely does the job if you're thinking of going to Kanchanburi and it's cheap.

I originally planned 3 nights but stayed for 6. It is a really lovely hostel with a nice community feel to it and I think that is down to Mimi and Mama, and the travellers it attracts. It is super cheap and it has everything you need. The train station is a 5 minute walk away and the night market is around the corner. In the evening we have dinner with each other. I would recommend to anybody passing through. Thank you for a lovely stay!

You honestly can’t beat the price. This is no luxury stay but it does feel more authentic with a lot of character. Kanchanaburi is a very quit town, seems travellers come here to relax. I asked one bloke what to do around here and he told me that he hasn’t left the hostel in 2 days. In the common area you’ll find lots of people sitting and reading. It’s a different pace here. The dorm doesn’t have curtains but it was fine, kinda adds to the vibe. Power and a light at the bed which was good. The top bunk doesn’t have railing which did feel a little dangerous. It had air conditioning so it felt cool in the night. Wifi was perfect too. Don’t expect anything fancy here but this hostel does have its own charm.

I spent one miserable night in this dirty hostel. The mattresses are old, dirty, hard and thin. No privacy curtains even in mixed dorms! Think 19 year olds in shivvies at all hours! Unfortunately I also rented a scooter from these mercenaries. My ID was held hostage to my replacing the already worn out rear tire, to the exhortation of 840 baht. I think they use the low season to identify problems with their bikes and make foreigners who rent them pay for the repairs. The hostel is dirty and the owner's friendliness utterly fake, but it IS close to the train stain and the night market and cheap. So you pays your money and takes your chances.

I don’t understand the good reviews for this hostel—it’s the worst I’ve stayed in after eight months of traveling in Southeast Asia. Terrible service, dishonest staff, and poor conditions. First, a staff member tried to steal 200 baht. I lost my room key, but my friend found it and left it in the hostel. Instead of returning it, she secretly kept it and tried to charge me an unjustified replacement fee. Luckily, my friend proved she had the key all along, exposing her dishonesty. Then, I rented a scooter. The next day, it wouldn’t start due to a dead battery—a mechanical issue completely unrelated to me. Yet, the same staff member took 100 baht from my deposit, falsely blaming me. Completely dishonest and unprofessional. Beyond these scams, the hostel itself is awful: questionable cleanliness, thin and uncomfortable mattresses, and terrible service. If you're looking for a decent and honest hostel, stay away from this place!

Wow! We ate here on a Monday afternoon and had the whole place to ourselves!very clean, quick professional service, gorgeous river views, and the food was delicious! Thank you for the wonderful lunch!

Raft restaurant with a lovely few on the river. Live music was nice, solo performer with Neil Young repertoire. Food: Fried fish was okay, but small for its price, Tom Yum was richly filled with seafood, the taste was strong. Pad Khao Phu, the crab was maybe in the river, found nothing in the rice. Staff: We came early in the late afternoon, about 5 pm. A lot of staff present, you sipp a bit of your coke, and they rush to fill your glasses up. We had the Tom Yum served without any bowl and spoon, we had to ask the waitress two times for it and she gave us an disturbed look. No thank you or goodbye after our dinner. My conclusion is that some of the staff could be a bit more service minded.

We came with high expectations to this place as we saw many lovely reviews. We came 1 hour before sunset and asked for a table near the river. The staff said we had to wait for them to prepare the tables. However, they started preparing tables on the complete other side of where we wanted to sit. After 10 minutes we went to ask again if they could just prepare our table first so we could go sit there and finally they did that. Not very service-minded. The view was fantastic though, the food was delicious!

This place is good, they have indoor area but it's for family or gathering event I assume. They have outdoor place as well with no roof as you can see from the picture; it was hot no one sit there but theh have any other outdoor area with the roof. They also have a small cafe in it, taste wise; not bad. The ambience is really peacefull, and quiet not much people during weekday. Probably if you want to go here go in the evening, the view and the weather would be bit better. Food is okay, 8/10. They have halal optipn as well, and it's authentic thai food mostly.

Day 2

Keep it simple
For day 2, these 6 places should be enough to fill your day with something exciting to do in Kanchanaburi. Start the day with Erawan National Park and make your way through the city to get to Wat Tham Phu Wa. This should take about 9 hours of your day.

National park
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.

Erawan Falls, located in Erawan National Park, is a stunning waterfall consisting of seven tiers that can be accessed through scenic trails and footbridges. The natural beauty of the park and the falls is open for everyone to enjoy, with additional activities such as visiting the Sri Nakharin Dam Golf Course available for those seeking more adventure. The area also offers various accommodation options and is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Best place for someone who loves nature and waterfalls there are 7 levels of waterfalls and a little hike till 7 level . It’s all worth it . Best time to visit is in the morning or before afternoon bcz the 7th level closed at 3:30 and you have to hike about 1:30 to 2 hours to get to the top

The area is beautiful, consists of 7 waterfalls. There are golf carts that can help you get to the first few levels, but after that you're on your own. It is definitely a hike and you need to be ready to walk/trek and the path is not smooth. You can swim normally in some of the waterfalls, some only with a life jacket (which you can rent) and some you cannot swim at all. I recommend renting a life jacket and swimming in the earlier levels, as level 7 is the "pinnacle", but there are small fish there that keep biting you, and no one was comfortable swimming in level 7. I wish they sold snacks/drinks at the higher levels, because after the early levels there is nothing but the watefalls, and they take your food/drinks at that checkpoint. It's beautiful, requires a lot of physical effort, and it was rather underwhelming overall. Pictures are better than the reality. If you want to save money, stay in Kanchanaburi and just take a bus or a grab to Erawan.

Stunning. Some of the most beautiful falls I've ever seen. To see all 7 levels is quite a hike but accessible to most. Well worth the walk. The lower 3 levels take very little effort and are fantastic.

My first and last nationalpark in this country! What is this a waterpark or a protected area for wildlife? Luckily i saw some wildlife otherwise it would be a complete disappointment.As a waterpark great i guess especially for families for all nature lovers avoid. Should had spend the time and money for a thai massage . P.s. Tourists who visit my country don't need to pay more for the same attractions as locals.Really shameful.

This is a truly stunning waterfall. There are seven levels, so be sure to bring good hiking shoes, as you'll feel like you're hiking all the time, and there are quite a few steep steps. It feels like you're climbing a mountain. Food and drinks are available for purchase, but you'll need to purchase a coupon. Life jackets are also available for those who want to swim. There are always staff on hand to assist. It was quite a lot of people , but it's well worth it.

I visited this waterfall for the first time and was truly impressed—it’s absolutely stunning. The water is crystal clear, and the natural beauty of the area is just breathtaking. If I’m not mistaken, there are seven levels to hike up. I have to admit, it’s quite a long walk, but it’s definitely worth it—not only for the views, but also as a great way to get some exercise. When you finally reach the seventh level, it feels magical. The water at the top is incredibly pure, almost like the very beginning of the waterfall itself. It’s so peaceful and beautiful up there.

Beautiful place for a nature escape! The water isn’t very deep, so it’s safe and relaxing for a quick dip. Great for hiking – the trail up to level 7 is scenic and enjoyable. Just be prepared for crowds if you visit on weekends or holidays. Still worth it for the views and refreshing swim

Sai Yok Noi Waterfall, also known as Khao Pang Waterfall, is a popular natural attraction in Kanchanaburi province. While it may not be as well-known as Erawan National Park, it offers a budget-friendly alternative for nature lovers. The waterfall is located about two kilometers from Sai Yok Noi waterfalls and provides a picturesque setting for swimming and relaxation.
Unbelievable beauty. For a small waterfall, it sure is packed with beauty. Do yourself a favor and pay a visit. The stone is slippery is a few spots. It is mainly walkable. Walk with buddy just in case!

Nice waterfall, really beautiful. Would definitely give 5 stars because it was a really wonderful experience. However, it was so crowded, a bit dangerous as it's extremely slippery. And it was quite difficult to park.
Jonathan O — Google review
I booked a train tour on SRT to go here (Special train Sai Yok Noi - 150 baht). I highly recommend this method if you have time and want to explore this place with a reasonable price. The trip length is 12 hours, 6:30-19:30. You can discover a historic railroad situated on a side of mountains. The waterfall doesn't have much clean water in this season, so it's good to rent a carpet and picnic. Good picnic place.

Went to both Erawan falls and Sai Yok waterfall. We preferred Sai Yok as it was less crowded and touristy, and the falls looked magnificent as you can see the entirety of it. Erawan, on the other hand, despite it being a 7-tier waterfall you see small bits of it at each level, and does not look as great. You can also stand under the actual waterfall here in Sai Yok and get showered upon. Bonus points as this is free.

Sai Yok Noi Waterfall The drive to the waterfall was scenic, with mountains and beautiful views along the way. I visited on a public holiday, so there were a lot of people. Parking was a bit difficult — I had to circle around 2–3 times before finding a spot along the roadside. There are many food and souvenir stalls around. Even though it was crowded, the place was still well-maintained and clean. At the moment, the water level is quite low and the water is murky, but the overall atmosphere is still relaxing — a nice spot to sit down, have a meal. Remind that free entrance and free parking. 11/07/2025

Mallika R.E 124 is a captivating themed destination located in Kanchanaburi, designed to transport visitors back to the year 1905 during the reign of King Rama V. This charming retro city beautifully recreates the lifestyle and culture of Old Siam, allowing guests to engage in traditional activities such as cooking, sewing, and pottery.

Amazing experience, we are going back to the history of the ancient king time and explore the history of how ancient Thai live. Especially Thai custome really makes me feel like Thais and holed coins need to exchange to use in the compound. Many area is Instragramable. Must try Thai traditional foods as they don't overpriced. Staffs are helpful and welcome.

Mallika R.E 124 is a truly immersive and unforgettable dining experience. Stepping into this restaurant is like taking a step back in time, transporting you to a traditional Thai village from 100 years ago. The attention to detail is impressive, from the period-accurate huts and equipment to the staff's traditional attire and roles. The commitment to authenticity is admirable, and it really adds to the charm of the place. What's more, visitors are encouraged to dress traditionally, which adds to the sense of community and shared experience. And, in a clever touch, only period-accurate currency is accepted, which can be exchanged using Thai Baht. The food and drinks are delicious, and it's fascinating to see the traditional cooking and farming equipment in action. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, happy to share insights into the history and culture of the village. Overall, Mallika R.E 124 is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, culture, and unique dining experiences. It's a truly magical place that will leave you feeling like you've experienced something truly special. Tips Not mandatory - Be sure to dress traditionally to add to the experience. - Exchange your Thai Baht for period-accurate currency to use at the restaurant. - Take your time to explore the village and soak up the atmosphere. - Don't miss the opportunity to try traditional Thai dishes and drinks.

This is a living history exhibit. The attraction depicts Thailand a little over 100 years ago. Employees play various roles in this community and dress according to the role they play. Visitors are invited to also dress in period clothing which can be rented on site for a small fee. There is a modest admission charge but each visitor receives the equivalent value in coins that can be used to interact with food vendors and shop keepers to purchase things. The coins actually encourage a deeper participation and learning experience as you see how the various classes of vendors dressed, lived, and worked. Foods are prepared as they were in the period. The recreation of a village was much more interesting than I expected. This is worth visiting. Plan at least 2 hours.

An awesome underrated place! Very well organized "ancient city" layout, creative in display and presentation. Really worth the ticket. They use satang to display the prices for yummies inside (1 Satang - 50bht) . But can still pay with baht. Staffs are super friendly, they'll help take pictures for you and be your free modeling photographer with no add fees. (You can give thema worthy pocket money though) So many exhibitions of ancient and modern Thai to see. Really beautiful place inside with awesome architecture and planning. You get coupons also with the tickets that you can avail for yummies inside. Clean toilets everywhere inside and a free drinking water container with the old style cups. Highly recommend to visit. Should give about 1.5 hrs inside to walk and take pictures. Many trees and shades inside.

Mueang Sing Historical Park, situated in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, is a fascinating archaeological site that showcases the remains of an ancient Khmer temple complex dating back to the 13th century. The park features well-preserved ruins of two ancient Khmer temples and a burial site where prehistoric skeletons were discovered.
This place is massive and they charge extras for a taxi entering- my friend and I were lucky enough to tip 100 baht for the grab driver to wait for us for 2 hours as the grab driver said that it wasn’t very crowded on a Saturday afternoon at 2pm and they would not be able to find another customer on the way back. The park was good for a nice walk and checking out sights and there is lush greenery and ruins around. Do bring bug spray as I had to use it every hour to keep the bugs from my shoulders and legs!

Large, well maintained park with interesting historical relics. The turning from the main road is signposted in English with the words "Prasat Muang Sing". It was fairly quiet when I went, maybe 10 or so other visitors in the whole park. So nice for relaxation and a walk in peace. There are a few gift and drinks shops and ample parking. Toilet facilities are also available at no extra charge. Entry for foreigners is now 120 baht. I also paid 20 baht to bring my scooter in, so total 140 baht - which I feel was reasonable. The Thai citizens entry price is much less, 20 baht or so as I remember, which is fair enough. This is not a particularly affluent area of the country.

Historical site dating back to the 13th century. Khmer complex, dedicated to the Hindu god Lord Shiva. We saw probably 3-4 other people during our time here. Though the site is big, there isn’t much to see. If you have limited time you can visit the park quickly and see the sites 1, 2, 3, 4 in the park. Ample parking space, ticket price is 100b/p for foreigners. You can either park the car outside or pay 50B to drive inside the park.

If you're a young international traveler visiting Kanchanaburi and have limited time, I’d recommend skipping Mueang Sing Historical Park unless you’re genuinely interested in history. We hired a driver and spent an hour getting to the park from our hotel, but unfortunately, we found ourselves bored after just 45 minutes. There are only a handful of monuments to see, and it’s easy to explore the entire site in less than an hour. While there are a few small souvenir and snack stalls on-site with reasonable prices. Admission for foreigners is 120 baht.

Wat Tham Phu Wa, located in the lush forests of Kanchanaburi, Thailand, is a tranquil Buddhist temple nestled within limestone caves and verdant vegetation. The serene ambiance and natural beauty make it an ideal sanctuary for meditation and reflection. Visitors can explore the impressive cave with its stunning stalactites and stalagmites, as well as numerous Buddha shrines.
From the outside you can't imagine that you are going inside a cavern. It's just mystic and curious how this temple is made up. From the first hall, there are different phats going through the rock. I was there on Saturday and I didn't have to wait, there were a lot of people but still I had my space to move everywhere. There is another temple in 3 min by car but this one is unique.

This temple will take you by surprise. The Khmer main building is actually a portal to another realm. As you walk in the reveal is a huge cave blended with Thai style and spotless. This is truly the cleanest cave I've ever been in. A statue link monk was sitting offering blessings to those who requested. An easy and cool walk and at the end there is even more space to stroll around. Perfect for a meditative afternoon. And try out the new coffee shop while you are there. The Iced Coffee was wonderful

I may have visited this temple several years ago. Yesterday I was on a tour with my friends and they chose to go to this temple which I vaguely remembered from about 7 years ago. The temple now has added attractions like rock formations, similar to the Stonehenge of the U.K. and beautifully kept flowered shrubs. The outside resembled some sort of Khmer temple while the interior was made into a huge cave. It looked quite pleasing to the eye and the atmosphere inside was nice and cool, not stuffy. Worth a visit, I'd say.

Not sure what the Asian fascination is with caves with a lot of fake junk inside. This isn't the only one I've seen. Marble Mountain near Da Nang is similar. And there's one in Kuala Lumpur, among others. The creepiest thing in this is what looks like a statue of Ho Chi Minh hidden deep inside. There was nobody here the weekday I came. It's so big they must get busloads at other times. It was very peaceful but very hot.

Both nature and human creation are beautiful. Stalagmite is in the cave. Outside is hot but when step in the harden clay building. It feel cool. Lots of parking provided.

Wat Tham Phu Wa is not only well known for being a meditation retreat, the temple itself features interesting architecture influenced by Khmer and Lop Buri arts as well as beautiful stalactites inside the cave where the revered Buddha images are enshrined.
Fokke A — Google review
Wat Tham Phu Wa is a very interesting temple. The 'on top outer building' is influenced by the Khmer arts and the Lopburi style (sic) of architecture. The entrance is truly mesmerizing and modern. But the 'on top outer building' with it's imposing magnificence is actually just the entrance because the area for 'worship' is below where the cave is. On the lower level, you can find statues of Buddha - said to be statues for each Chinese astrological sign where Buddhists pray faithfully according to their year of birth. Since it's a cave, you'll be able to see forms of stalagmites and stalactites. Despite it being a cave temple, everything inside is convenient and comfortable as they laid soft rugs to walk inside. It is also well lighted so you'll be able to see everything inside clearly. This place is also a renowned meditation center and inside the complex you will come across a reclining Buddha and a large sitting Buddha (sic). If you're into temples, you might find this one interesting to visit since it's quite different than the usual temples you might come across Bangkok. For locals, this is an important place of worship. However, for visiting tourists, there's not much things to do here in all honesty - just be respectful to the culture and religion. Entrance is free as of 2024. And in case you're not aware, please remove you slippers/shoes/sandals before entering. If you're parched or hungry, worry not because there's an area where you can buy food, snacks, and drinks.

Even the most seasoned adventurers need a break to chow down some food. Close to Sai Yok Noi Waterfall (Khao Pang Waterfall), these restaurants are about a 3-minute walk away.

Was there in weekday early afternoon, few customers Quick foods serving after ordering. Great taste for those 3 dishes especially the fried fish with fish soy sauce was so good

For vegetarians not good at all. I eat stired fried vegetables but it was tasteless and a lot of full clove of garlic even without peeling. I am not sure about non veg but for veg it's not worth it. So skip if you're vegetarian.

The food is fantastic ! Seasonal Vegetable Stir fried taste is perfectly right ! Yum Pak wan(Pak Wan Spicy Salad)is very tasty The last menu is Pha Kao fish sauce deep fried. Pha Kao is a big type of catfish its taste is better than I thought. It’s very surprised me. Ultimately, the price is very worth comparing with the portion of the food.

This place is proper ‘R-han Pa’, which translate in to forest restaurant. The ingredients used are from the forest. Everything is super flavorful, spicy, and delicious!!! In addition, the mountain view is also beautiful. Highly recommend!!

Buses between Thong Pha Phum and Bkk, and probably other places, stop at this place on the way. I haven't ordered food there myself so can't say if the quality is different when you pay at the restaurant or when you get what you get with your bus ticket. But fairly average. Not too bad, nor too good.

Excellent variety of Thai foods. Recommend any of the spicy salads, local fish and penang curry. Fast and efficient. Nice views.
Bangkok E — Google review
Normal Thai food overpriced. Chicken fried crispy and cashew was over oil. Vegetables was smelling bad. Everything for a double price compare with other restaurants around here. Owner can't speak English

It is a small local restaurant that serves good food at a low price, worth a visit if you are in these parts.
