Kanchanaburi Family Adventure

Kanchanaburi has a rugged, beautiful landscape of mountains, waterfalls, caves and tranquil riverside settings thatis a treat for nature-lovers and cyclists. We start our tour by visiting the Bridge Over the River Kwai, the Railway Museum, the Death Railway, and the Kraset Caves. We cycle on country back roads to Wat Prasat Muang Singh, a 12th-century Khmer temple and to the memorable and historic Hellfire Pass. We have a leisurely kayak down river one morning and visit the Tiger Temple on our way back to Bangkok. We visit the famous sites, but we also see some places off the beaten path to expose you to true Thailand.

• Mr. Tee was fun and enjoyable throughout the trip and very patient with our 'four' family. The driver was also very nice and always helpful and ready with great fruit and snacks.

  Riding was perfect for family, and the trip was something deffinitely worth telling people about!
