Detail Itinerary
This tour comprises of all the highlights from our full day River Kwai Tour such as the well-kept Wat Cemetery of Allied Prisoners, which contain the graves of an estimated 9,000 Allied soldiers who lost their lives while building the bridge. The JEATH Museum, where the past has been created and relived with pictures and artefacts out of this time and of course, a train ride over the original Death Railway track is enclosed in this excursion while a sumptuous lunch awaits the clients upon arrival at the disembarkation station. In the afternoon, we visit the remote forest temple of Wat Pha Luangta Bua, some 160 km from Bangkok. In these beautiful surroundings, dedicated Buddhist monks live with numerous wild animals including various tigers, which they take for a walk on a leash every afternoon. This is one of the most extraordinary sights you will ever see in Thailand, and is probably unique in the world.
