Yes, been there, done that. In 2008. Really poignant is the cemetery with graves announcing the ages of those buried as 26, 30 etc. I understand yet more poignant is Hellfire Pass, further on where the tracks have cut through the rock. I did not go there though.

Love the history of the captured US soldiers who help built the railroad tracks and the cave where many of them perished.

We lived in a small town just outside Kanchanaburi – it’s one of my favourite places in Thailand and so underrated! Its history is really interesting, Erawan falls in gorgeous, and I just loved how chilled out the whole city is.

In reply to Kate Clarke (@Canuckiwikate). @Kate: Wish I got to do the audio tour. That was my second museum of the day and by then, my eyes started to glaze over.

I’ve been to all of the above, bar the natural waterfalls. So glad you included Hellfire Pass – I got the audio tour, and was completely moved by all that I learned listening to while walking around. Quite a special area.

In reply to Shalu Sharma. @Shalu: Yes, it's a movie and book, but the events in it are fictitious.

In reply to Karisa. @Karisa: I can't believe you have this kind of time to web research with slow internet in Myanmar! ha ha... Independently, I"d recommend 3 days at least. I was on a tour, so that freed me up to not have to dealing with transportation and getting around. The itinerary was well-timed. Kanchanaburi is supposedly small enough to get around the main area via bike but I do feel like we drove a lot to get to some of these places. Also I did want to stay longer at the floatel we were at and see more of the city.
