Combine Kanchanaburi’s war memorials, Death Railway train ride, mountain temple, and hands-on elephant care on a private day trip from Bangkok.

“Notre expérience a été mitigée et probablement en lien avec la guide. Celle-ci est arrivée avec 20 minutes de retard, ce qui a complètement décalé le programme. Nous nous sommes retrouvé a courir afin d'arriver à temps pour l'horaire du train. Kanchanaburi est un haut lieu d'histoire et la guide ne nous a donné aucun renseignements. Pas d'accompagnement de la part de celle-ci. Nous avons regretté d'avoir une guide si peu impliquée.”
