Fascinating, nostalgic and memorable sums up this day tour to the Kanchanaburi province, 130 km west of Bangkok. The province itself is an agricultural area, and sugar cane, rice paddies and pineapple plantations are all part of the landscape, which in many areas is quite stunning.
The famous bridge and the beginning of the 'Death Railway' which lies some 1 mile outside town are a poignant reminder of the thousands of POW?s and forced laborers who lost their lives in the Second World War. A visit will be made to one of the Allied War Grave cemeteries (often an emotional experience) before visiting the JEATH war museum, which houses pictures and paintings from this period.
An exhilarating long tailed speed boat ride will then take you down river to the famous bridge itself where you have ample time to explore at your own leisure. A ride on a local train is also included before returning to Bangkok city.

Patpong
Much is made of Patpong, the red-light district. Not much goes on there that doesn't occur in other countries, but, rightly or wrongly, people feel safe on the bustling, brightly lit streets in the area. It doesn't really feel sleazy at all, unless you actually go into the clubs lining the streets--some of which might shock even the most worldly of visitors. If explicit, sex-oriented shows offend you, don't go into the clubs. Prurient considerations aside, you might stroll into the area just to see the busy night market. It starts at 7 pm. If you come around one or two hours earlier or go there around 1 am in the night you will be astonished how quickly the night market appears and disappears.
