Kanchanaburi (Thailand) - Wink Travel Guide

Kanchanaburi is a city at the confluence of the Rivers Kwai Noi and Kwai Yai.

For most visitors the main sight of interest is the Bridge over the River Kwai, as the start of the infamous World War II Death Railway to Burma (now Myanmar), as well as the many associated museums.

Most of the sights in Kanchanaburi itself are directly related to WWII. The museums are dusty and generally not worth it, except for the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, which gives a good introduction of the Death Railway and its history.
