Experience Kanchanaburi Like No One Else – Private & Premium Day Tour

Discover the best of Kanchanaburi on a private, premium full-day tour that takes you beyond the typical tourist trail — with no crowds, no rush, and every detail thoughtfully arranged.

Next, visit the peaceful Phra That Si Mueang Kan Chedi, a golden stupa with breathtaking panoramic views, located just outside Wat Tham Khao Poon. It’s a sacred hidden gem that most visitors overlook.

You'll also visit the WWII Cemetery, then enjoy a private boat tour along the River Kwai, passing riverside scenery and finishing at the iconic Bridge over the River Kwai — even more stunning from the water.

    Erawan Waterfalls

    Discover the breathtaking beauty of Erawan Waterfall, one of Thailand’s most iconic natural wonders nestled in the lush forests of Erawan National Park, Kanchanaburi. This seven-tiered cascade is named after the three-headed white elephant from Hindu mythology, as the top tier is said to resemble its head. Each level offers something unique—from emerald green pools perfect for swimming, to tranquil jungle trails where butterflies dance around you. Along the way, you’ll hear the soothing sounds of water rushing over limestone, and you might even spot cheeky monkeys in the trees. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, Erawan Waterfall is a paradise. Dip into the refreshing pools, walk barefoot on soft limestone terraces, or just pause and take in the magical scenery. With our private tour, you’ll enjoy a seamless and comfortable journey, premium service, and a knowledgeable local guide who will make your experience unforgettable.

    Wat Tham Khao Pun

    Although we didn’t go inside Wat Tham Khao Poon this time, we made a special stop to admire the Phra That Si Mueang Kan Chedi — a beautiful golden stupa just outside the temple grounds. This serene spot also features an impressive Standing Buddha image, overlooking the lush greenery and offering a peaceful panoramic view. The chedi is built in traditional Thai style, with graceful layers and ornate detailing that gleam under the sunlight. Said to enshrine sacred relics, it symbolizes the spiritual heart of the area. While not as widely known as some of Kanchanaburi's major landmarks, its quiet charm and scenic surroundings make it well worth a visit. The large Buddha statue nearby adds a sense of calm and reverence — a gentle reminder of the spiritual presence here, even without stepping inside the main temple.
