Wat Thewa Sangkharam tours

The tour includes, in order: the War Museum, a boat trip to the River Kwai Bridge, the River Kwai Bridge, a train ride from Tam Krasae Station, and disembarkation at Kanchanaburi. All are worth seeing. Although the River Kwai Bridge is not the original, seeing it in conjunction with the War Museum helped me understand the scenery and harsh working conditions of the time. Also, at Tam Krasae Station, you can see the down train passing over the bridge built on the cliff from the lunch venue, and there was plenty of time to walk across the bridge yourself. I highly recommend it.

the driver came in the early morning on time, though her English is not too well. we still tried to communicate. we were able to visit Kwai River bridge, to take the train and pass the death rail. we also get to the elephant world. holding an elephant is full feeling of warmth😊

Highly recommend taking a tour because there's so much to absorb and places to visit and you also don want to miss the train ride....... awesome scenery with mountains plantations river to view. You get to walk to the train tracks and also have a buffet spread overlooking the beautiful river. You get to see the train from this view too. You get to ride the speedboat that brings you to the bridge of River Kwai and get to see the cemetery where those who died building the bridge. Totally worth the trip.

This one-day tour of the old city was such a great value, and it's all thanks to our guide, Michael Jackson (who calls himself the Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand)! He was full of energy all day, and his professionalism was absolutely top-notch. He's Thai, but he speaks fluent Chinese and English. When he explained the dynasty history in Chinese, his logic was incredibly clear, and there were no communication barriers at all. What impressed us most was that he even prepared beautiful historical materials and before-and-after comparison images, allowing us to compare the current state of the historical sites with how they looked in the past. History instantly came to life, and it wasn't just about looking at stone buildings anymore. During the tour, he was also very patient in teaching us to speak Thai. Under the hot Bangkok sun, he always thoughtfully helped us find shady spots to take pictures and listen to his explanations, making the tour relaxing and comfortable for us. I really hope every group can meet a guide as excellent as Michael Jackson. He added so much to this trip! If you have the chance to join this tour, be sure to request this "Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand!"

When visiting Phuket, island hopping and water activities are definitely the most enjoyable, but the boat rides can be quite long. It's essential to get a good night's sleep the night before, otherwise, the next day's boat trip will be unbearable. I recommend purchasing your tour online in advance; they will contact you via email regarding hotel pickup times. We had a comfortable, spacious 9-seater shared van. Upon arriving at the pier, there were coffee, drinks, some small cookies, and toast available, which is great for anyone who didn't have time for breakfast. Bottled water is free on the boat, and lunch is a buffet served on Phi Phi Island. On the return trip, fruit is provided. You don't need to bring much money if you don't plan on making additional purchases. At the end, the guide individually asked for tips (though you don't have to give one), which felt a bit awkward, but I was very grateful to the captain and crew, so I did tip them.

Luxurious boat. Helpful staff to make people to snorkeling who are not so confident. Good food. Only drawback is since the boat is big it cannot go near the shore so you don't get to get down at any of the beach side.

It was a good trip to experience Thai culture and see their lifestyle. I just hope we travelled earlier because traffic was bad. Nevertheless, it was really fun! Aum and Bank were such incredible guides. Buffalo Cafe is a great side trip as well. ♥️

It was very convenient to have the driver pick us up at our hotel from Bangkok and going to Kanchanaburi straight away! We can customise our own locations which were very nice. Would be recommend booking
