      This historical exploration tour takes us to Kanchanaburi province to absorb this region’s wartime history. We take in the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, an interactive museum dedicated to the history of the ‘death railway’ which ran 415 km from Ban Pong in Thailand to Thanbuyuzayat in Burma.

    • Day-2
      River Kwai Jungle Rafts – Bangkok
      After check-out, we take an exciting long-tail boat ride down the River Kwai and continue by road to the Hellfire Pass Museum and Memorial. This facility is dedicated to Allied prisoners of war and Asian labourers who were forced to build the Thailand to Burma ‘death railway’ in extremely harsh conditions during World War Two.
      After viewing the exhibits in the excellent museum and its many audio-visual displays, we walk along the original railway cutting known as Hellfire Pass which was one of the most difficult sections of rock to cut through, but it is now a haven of peace and serenity. After lunch, we take a ride on the actual railway and pass over the original wooden viaducts. We then head back to Bangkok and transfer to our respective hotels
