| Itinerary |
Day 1 Bangkok/AyuthayaRise early and leave the chaotic energy of Bangkok behind, swapping it instead for Bang Pa-In Summer Palace on the banks of the Chao Phraya River and admire the ornate architecture and perfectly manicured gardens. In the afternoon visit Ayuthaya, one of the ancient capitals of Siam and a UNESCO-listed site; take a guided tour of the ruins to learn about the region's history.
We then head to the laid back town of Kanchanaburi. Although this scenic town is peaceful today, its history tells a much sadder tale. It was here that thousands died building the infamous Death Railway. Day 2 Kanchanaburi/River KwaiPay a visit to the Hellfire Pass Memorial, built to honor those who died while constructing the Burma-Thailand 'Death Railway'. Leave the river behind and journey into the Erawan National Park, famous for its cascading seven-tiered waterfall. Cool off in the refreshing waters, and perhaps take a one-hour climb to the top of the waterfall, which is said to resemble Erawan, the three-headed elephant of Hindu mythology. Enjoy a Thai-style picnic lunch before returning to Kanchanaburi in the late afternoon. Day 3 Kanchanaburi/BangkokWe spend the morning discovering the town of Kanchanburi on a Samlaw (3 wheeled tricycle) learning about its history and seeing the many places that commemorate the role it played in WWII. Take a tour of the WWII Museum, visit the Allied War Cemetery and take a ride over the Bridge over the River Kwai.
Heading back into Bangkok in the afternoon we bid farewell to the adventure.
