Overview

Visit the historic sites of the Second World War (WW II) in Kanchanaburi that will remind you of the significance of peace.

In this fast-changing world, it's easy to forget about the sacrifices during the WW II. This full day tour is a great way to restore our appreciation for them! Get in the zone at Kanchanaburi War Cemetery for allied prisoners of war (POWs) who were forced to join the Death Railway construction. Learn more about the workers' tough conditions, and witness the bridge that was part of the railway. Top off the tour with a train ride along the Death Railway with a great landscape!

Why this tour?
