West Thailand Kanchanaburi Experience

The Death Railway mountain pass — a sight and experience not to be missed. The entire steel structure reveals itself around every curve of the track, hugging the mountainside with deep lush valleys stretching into the distance. Mixed emotions — beauty in one hand and the knowledge of the sad history of how it came to be.

A national war museum built in commemoration depicts the events and horrors of these dark days. Pay your respects at the war memorial. Lunch Thai-style overlooking the famous bridge and clean slow-running river with local specialties found only in this region.

The 50km ride to the falls is outstanding — winding through valleys and climbing steep inclines to the top of impressive mountains with jungle rainforests so beautiful it's impossible to forget.

Erawan Falls is recognised as one of the best waterfalls in the world. The hike to the top takes you past level after level of crystal clear ponds that look like a themed attraction. This tropical paradise is just waiting for you to dive in — don't forget your swimwear!

Countless twists and turns ascending to a mountainous wilderness. Pilok — a subdistrict of Thong Pha Phum hidden in mountain tops on the Myanmar border, once famous for tin and tungsten mining in the 1940s. Covering 725 km² of 95% rainforest and jungle.

Breathtaking mountain top views around every bend until the road ends and dirt track becomes your guide. Steep sections with rocks and loose dirt — our guides will get you through safely. Once accomplished, the entire Thong Pha Phum National Park reveals itself.

A comfortable homestay in a sleepy village nestled between rainforest mountains and mystical lakes. Real Thai hospitality as the sound of the jungle fills your ears and a star-laden moon-lit sky fills your eyes.

Deeper into the past where life resembles 19th century Thailand. Valleys purposely flooded by the Thai Government created spectacular lakes — glimpses of these visual spectacles around each corner of thick jungle mountains. Khao Laem Reservoir — clay-coloured winding rivers with bamboo rafts and eerie tree stumps, often covered in mist.

Thailand's largest wooden bridge precariously balances above the water. We access sunken temples by rented boat — you can actually feel the eeriness. An ancient golden temple with Myanmar roots guarded by lions rounds off an unforgettable experience. Riverside accommodation finishes the day.

Through Phu Toei National Park with its tallest mountain, the Tewada Summit. Suphanburi has a distinctive Chinese feel centred around the Tha Chin River. The 100-year-old Sam Chuk Market still has the same feel to this day — plenty of dishes and delicacies, most unheard of. Try the locally made coconut ice cream!

Baan Kwai — the village of Buffalo — is home to farmers who keep water buffalo and tend rice paddy fields. Traditional stilted housing and regular buffalo shows. Comfortable accommodation before our final destination — Ayutthaya.

Thailand's former capital dating back to the 14th century — once home to 1 million inhabitants before the Burmese army invaded in the 18th century and raised it to the ground. Only the stone temples and monasteries remained.

A pleasant 75km ride to two sites of huge historical importance. Lunch served at the second ancient ruins. The afternoon is free to walk around and witness Thailand's most treasured temples. Thousands of friendly primates make their home in the ruins — fantastic photo opportunities. Explore Ayutthaya's bars, markets, and restaurants for a taste of vibrant nightlife.

The return trip past Bangkok with fast-flowing highways — a chance to really open the throttle. A final stop at Silver Lake — a lush countryside attraction known for its vineyards, Buddha Mountain, and waterpark with high-quality fast-cornered roads.

A farewell feast at base camp with reminiscing, then chauffeur-driven back to your hotel. Airport transfers the following day if required. Memories of a tour of a lifetime with incredible experiences, wild times, and new friendships.
