Man-made sights of Kanchanaburi are rich and diverse: the famous bridge over the river Kwai and the Death Railway, which became symbols of memory, the wooden bridge Wooden Mon is one of the longest in Thailand, as well as the Marukatayawan Palace with rare architecture of the early XX century. Prasat Muang Singh Historic Park showcases Khmer ruins, many Buddhist temples and cave shrines – Wat Tham Phu Wa, Wat Tham Mangkornthong and tiger monasteries – complement the cultural landscape. The floating markets around the city offer a chance to experience local trade and cuisine.
The natural gems of the region are no less impressive: Erawan and Sai Yok National Parks with the famous cascading Erawan Falls and Sai Yok Noi Waterfall, Huai Mae Hamin Waterfall and Sayok Yay are striking in their beauty. The large protected areas of Khuean Srinagarindra and Thung Yai Naresuan are covered in jungles, containing Khao Laem Lake and caves, including Kaeng Lava. Convenient proximity to the rivers Kwai and large river systems creates picturesque embankments, and the island of Tachai attracts fans of beaches and diving.
