Kanchanaburi : hotel in Thailand and accommodation
General Information
Introduction
Arresting
scenic beauty. Forested mountains. Waterfalls. Pristine national
parks. Tranquil riverine and reservoir settings. Leisure opportunities
including jungle treks employing elephants and rafts. Historical
associations dating from Neolithic times to the Second World
War…There are several compelling reasons for visiting
Kanchanaburi.
Thailand’s third largest province, Kanchanaburi covers
some 19,473 square and oftentimes mountainous kilometres,
and borders Myanmar (Burma) to the west of Bangkok. The compact
provincial capital, some 130 kilometres, and a comfortable
two-hour drive from Bangkok, is both the site of the world-famous
Bridge Over The River Kwae, immortalised in books and movies,
and gateway to a region of rugged natural beauty. Countryside
beyond the provincial capital is characterised by mountains
and fertile river valleys (the Kwae Yai and Kwae Noi) which
have inspired the development of hydro-electric power, and
where labyrinthine dam reservoirs provide further scenic elements
to the province’s natural beauty.
