Kanchanaburi: Bangkok’s Effortless Escape Where Rivers, History, and Nature Slow You Down

Kanchanaburi is the kind of weekend that slows your breathing the moment you reach the river. Start with a calm boat ride on the River Kwai, then balance the day with a meaningful stop at the Bridge on the River Kwai and its nearby history sites. Finish with a dip at Erawan’s turquoise pools or a sunset dinner on a floating raft house. Bangkok feels far away in the best possible way.
