Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Kunder bliver hilst velkommen af vores guide og chauffør i din hotellets lobby tidligt om morgenen. Vejen vestpå mod centrum af Kanchanaburi vil tage cirka 3 timer, hvor byens skyline langsomt forsvinder og gør plads for den mere forstæder og landlige side af Thailand. Ved ankomsten til Kanchanaburi centrum, respekterer vi først krigsfangerne på den allierede kirkegård, der omkom under konstruktionen. Den velholdte kirkegård er det sidste hvilested for tæt på 7000 krigsfanger, der omkom under opførelsen af "Dødsbanen.
Lige ved siden af kirkegården ligger Thailand - Burma Railway Center, et interaktivt museum med informations- og forskningsfacilitet dedikeret til at præsentere historien om Thailand-Burma Railway gennem otte temagallerier.
En kort bådtur følger lige efter at have forladt museet og bringer gæsterne helt op til foden af den berømte bro over floden Kwai. Stadig i brug i dag var broen målet for hyppige allierede bombeangreb i 1945 og blev genopbygget efter krigen sluttede. Her stiger vi om et lokalt tog over originale dele af den berømte Death Railway. Togkørsler over Death Railway tilbyder både naturskønne og surrealistiske oplevelser af, hvad der engang var en region med krigslejre, der blev kontrolleret af japanerne. Ved afrejse serveres en lokal thailandske frokost på en lokal restaurant, før vi kører tilbage til Bangkok. Turen følger den hurtigste rute, der er mulig for at foretage en planlagt ankomst ca. 17:00, afhængigt af trafikforholdene. Gæster bringes naturligvis tilbage til deres bookede indkvartering i centrum af Bangkok efter at have afsluttet denne interessante dag på og omkring floden Kwai.

We were not able to see the bridge over river Kwai because the guide didn’t speak good English and she’s hard to understand. She just made a lot of pointing, didn’t give us our ticket to the museum and we totally missed going to the bridge. We were taken to a public waterfalls. We hated this tour. On our way back to Bangkok it took us 5 hours because the driver didn’t use the highway!
Dear Reginah We thank you for your honest opinion on our River Kwai tour. We do apologize that the tour did not meet your expectations by spending more time at the bridge. With ample other natural and historical elements in and around Kanchanaburi and the River Kwai, the choices made are based on providing a complete overview in a day's tour. As you may have outlined, and we described, the options to see more, go deeper in the province's history can also be captured with spending a night in Kanchanaburi itself, giving you and your fellow travelers more time to focus on those things where you may want to spend more time. We hope you still cherish the great moments of this outing and looking forward welcoming you again to the Land of Smiles. With kind regards Asian Trails Thailand
This tour is very good! The guide is knowledgeable and kept us all on track so we didn't run over time. The short train ride is beautiful, and the lunch was excellent.
Dear Loralees It has been a sincere pleasure reading about your Kanchanaburi and River Kwai experience on our TripAdvisor page. Such reviews, flowing with positivity on how we are operating such tours, certainly are making our day! By reading this, we are confident that this Thailand experience remains with you and with your travel companion(s) forever and may stimulate more wanderlust wishes in the Land of Smiles.

Only spent three quarters of an hour at the bridge. The rest of the day spent on train and waterfall. As the tour was for the bridge I was very disappointed. There was nearly one and a half hours at some waterfall when we could have spent the day at the bridge, had a meal etc. Total waste.

We found this trip to be really fascinating and very moving. However, whilst our guide was excellent it is a very long day - over 12 hours from our pick up to return into Bangkok. Might have been better to avoid a Friday as the afternoon traffic in BKK is even worse than usual.
Dear Candc2 Many thanks for sharing your experience with us after your Kanchanaburi explorations. Your positive view on this long yet interesting and moving day has been a welcoming start of our day. Indeed, the drive from and to Kanchanaburi can take a part of the travels due to the location but it is always forgotten when reflecting on the fascinating day. Rest assure that we will share your experience with all concerned, and we do look forward welcoming you and your travel companions soon again to the Land of Smiles! With kind regards Asian Trails Thailand
really enjoyed the trip as we had the car to ourselves which made it very relaxing. guide was very good and new a lot about what we were seeing.
Dear Flyer68 Many thanks for reviewing our version of this full day Kanchanaburi and the Bridge over the River Kwai with lots of positivity! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences with the world. The stories and landmarks of the construction of this railway connection certainly makes it a must-see when in Thailand. Looking forward welcoming you again soon to the Land of Smiles with lots more travel options that include a lot of fun, relaxation and value for money. With kind regards Asian Trails Thailand
Asian tours organised our collections to join the main large bus ( lrg busses not allowed in city center). It is a long trip so be prepared with water. There is a stop about half way for toilet and a coffee. Have small notes on you for food. Our hotel provides a pack breakfast and we found this very handy as we would other miss out. The bridge is very poniont as well as the museum. Great educational history. Lunch is rustic but good local food and toilets adiquate. Mobility can be accomodated at all loctions. not much to buy if you want surveniers except at the museum. Good coffee and snacks at museum and as it is a long trip do not go hungry especially if you are unsure of eating Thai food. Train ride is an experience not to be missed as well as water buffello stopping our bus. Our guide was a laugh but informative and friendly. We enjoyed the day out but be prepared for a long day
Dear John It has been a sincere pleasure reading your constructive, informative and positive review of your River Kwai excursion. All points are very valuable as each client notices certain matters differently, giving us a more complete overview of how our Bridge over the River Kwai is experienced. The educational value and the fun side blended together seem to be the outstanding points of your experience, alongside the food and beverage options. We are looking forward welcoming you and your travel companions again in not-too-long-a-future in the Land of Smiles. With kind regards Asian Trails Thailand
Tour is very interesting, good organized. Guide is professional but his English hard to understand ——————————————————————————————————
Trip was well organised and was full packed. Please be prepared for it being a very long day. Food was wonderful. Overall a very pleasing trip.
Visiting the bridge was on my bucket list and I wasn't disappointed. I stayed on the river and arranged my own "tour" which was very easy, simple to do. A great trip, nice, helpful folks everywhere I went.
This trip packs in a lot for just one day and is excellent value for what you get. Hotel pick up and drop off. Lunch. Entry fees, train trip and boat ride! And lots of extra nice touches. Wow we were very happy! When you get to the museum, don’t muck about reading everything - buy the big red book. 250baht. Have a good look at the displays and leave yourself about 20 mins to walk around the cemetery across the road. Wear your life jacket on the long boat - for comfortable padding on the wooden seats. Sam, our guide was a darling. Very knowledgeable, organised and caring. Lunch was amazing- far exceeded our expectations and was all ready for us when we arrived. For 150baht we upgraded our carriage on the train. Comfortable, spacious and free water. The alternative will give you the local experience which would be good too. There is no mucking about on this trip and the ride back to Bangkok in the luxury coach was very relaxing after a fairly big day.
