Day 1: Bangkok – Hintok River Camp [L, D]

This historical exploration tour takes us to Kanchanaburi province to absorb this region’s wartime history. We take in the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, an interactive museum dedicated to the history of the ‘death railway’ which ran 415 km from Ban Pong in Thailand to Thanbuyuzayat in Burma. This link was built by Allied prisoners of war and Asian labourers forced by the Japanese Army to undertake this mammoth task in extremely hostile conditions. We also visit the Allied War Cemetery, the resting-place for over 6,000 prisoners, as well as the world-famous Bridge over the River Kwai. We then head to the resort for check-in and lunch. We visit the Hellfire Pass Memorial and Museum which is dedicated to Allied prisoners of war and Asian labourers who were forced to build the Thailand to Burma ‘death railway’ in extremely harsh conditions during World War Two. After viewing the exhibits in this excellent museum and its many audio-visual displays, we walk along the original railway cutting known as Hellfire Pass which was one of the most difficult sections of rock to cut through, but it is now a haven of peace and serenity. Later on in the afternoon, we take a mountain bike ride along jungle trails to local villages and farms. Dinner and overnight at Hintok River Camp.


Day 2: Hintok River Camp – River Kwai Resotel [B, L, D]

An enjoyable early morning cycle ride takes us to a temple so we can make ‘merit’ by donating food to monks. We then take a long-tail boat ride to visit an ethnic Mon tribal village. Afterwards, continue riding by long-tail boat to River Kwai Resotel for check-in and lunch. Afternoon is at leisure. Dinner is followed by a 45-minute traditional and colourful Mon dance display. Overnight at River Kwai Resotel


Day 3: River Kwai Resotel – Bangkok [B, L]

The morning is at leisure. After check-out, we take an exciting long-tail boat ride down the River Kwai, lunch at a local restaurant followed by a journey on the ‘death railway,’ the actual train link built by Allied prisoners during World War Two. We then head back to Bangkok and transfer to our respective hotels.
