A two day excursion, staying overnight at the Hintok River Camp, which incorporates time spent at The Bridge over the River Kwai, visiting the Prisoner of War Cementary of Kanchanaburi, a train ride along part of the 'Death Railway', early morning alms giving to monks and more. (

01 Jan-30 Jun 2018 Hellfire Pass Interpretative Centre (the museum) will be closed for renovations, however, visits will still go ahead to the actual location to see Hellfire Pass. Then a visit will be made to Sir Weary Dunlop’s Park at the nearby Home Phutoey River Kwai Resort. Due to its similar historical thread it is believed that this is a suitable alternative to the museum while it is closed.)
