Kanchanaburi is one of the most beautiful provinces in Thailand. You have probably already heard of the main attractions of Kanchanaburi: the Death Railway and the Erawan Waterfall. Those are actually Tourist Trains, and to my surprise, the majority of the passengers were Thai families doing a day trip.
Then you get back on the train and slowly drive over the bridge, before accelerating and cruising out of town, past villages and rice fields, and eventually into the mountainous region of Kanchanaburi along a river.
Here you have another 2. At pm you will board the train again and drive back south — yes, the ticket includes the trip back to Bangkok — in fact, most Thais make it a day trip, but I decided to stay 2 nights in Kanchanaburi to explore the Erawan Falls and the nightlife scene. The other must visit here are the Erawan Falls — which are the most beautiful waterfalls in all of Thailand yes seriously, even more impressive than the ones in Khao Lak , Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.
There are 7 different levels! Each of them looks different, but all of them are suitable for bathing. The easiest way to get to the Erawan Falls from Kanchanaburi Town is by bus picture , which costs only 50 Baht and leaves hourly — both from the Bus Terminal in Kanchanaburi as well as in Erawan.
It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. The views are not too bad but lots of traffic and there are some scenic restaurants by the road overlooking Khwae Yai River and the mountains. Beautiful lunch spot see the food pin on the map below. Make sure to check out my 1. This is where pretty much every foreigner hangs out at night. Both of them have live music, and Hi-Speed Pub even sexy hostess girls who will sit at your table if you buy them drinks. The typical prices are Baht for a foot massage, Baht for a Thai massage and Baht for an oil massage 1 hour.
