...land of a thousand smiles

Kanchanaburi is probably most famous as the site of the "Bridge over the River Kwai" and the Thai-Burma railway. Whilst these should be included stop's on your visit, there are an abundance of other attractions well worth visiting; Prasat Muang Singh, the most Westerly outpost of the ancient Khmer empire, similar but smaller than the more famous Angkor Wat in Cambodia; the sapphire mines at Bo Ploi; the Burmese border crossing at the Three Pagoda Pass and numerous border towns where hill-tribes and Burmese refugees live; river-rafting; waterfalls in the jungle, even a floating Nun...!

The golf here is also excellent! We recommend visiting during the week as courses and resorts can become busy at weekends due to it being only a 2-3 hour drive from Bangkok and is very popular as a break away from the Concrete Jungle!

BUT, be warned! Korean golfing holiday-makers have pretty much taken over, some courses are even "Out-of-Bounds" to non-Koreans - Shame.....
