Elephants being washed and bathed by their mahouts near Kanchanaburi Waterfall in the Sri Nakarin National Parks

Enjoy the wealth of outdoor pursuits in Kanchanaburi Province

Drive just two hours drive west from the busy streets of Bangkok, and you’ll soon find yourself passing through a remarkably different backdrop. Kanchanaburi Province, with no less than seven National Parks, offers mile after mile of world class trekking, cycling and kayaking, with something for all grades and abilities. In addition to unique accommodation choices such as river rafts and tented camps, there is also a very special elephant sanctuary that cares for old and abused elephants, where you can help care for the patients - so much more rewarding than the hour long ride through the jungle on an unhappy elephant that many first time visitors to Thailand opt for! Kanchanaburi holds several World War II historical sites, including the Bridge on the River Kwai.
