Famous as the location of the film Bridge over the River Kwai, Kanchanaburi is the provincial capital of the same-named province. Situated only 128km from Bangkok, it's a favourite spot for a weekend getaway for both expats and Thais alike, while backpackers also flock here. With its serene river, lush green surrounds and quiet temples, the bucolic charm of Kanchanaburi has been steadily attracting visitors for decades.
Kanchanaburi serves as an ideal base for exploring the province. There is adequate public transport, loads of tour options and great roads for those finding their own way about.
While Kanchanaburi province boasts some of Thailand's most popular national parks, the town itself is more a place to relax on a raft house and watch the water slide by, feet in river with a cold drink and a good book.
Attractions such as a floating nun, controversial Tiger Temple, and war museums and cemeteries make this a spot to easily while away a few days. If you're killing a couple of days waiting for a visa, this beats Khao San Road hands down. Many come here for two days, but end up staying weeks.
