- Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub) - After gathering the group, head to Maeklong Railway Market, known in Thai as Talat Rom Hup, which translates to the “Umbrella Pulldown Market.” This market is one of Thailand’s largest fresh seafood markets and is uniquely situated along the Maeklong Railway’s tracks. When a train is approaching, vendors temporarily retract their awnings and shop fronts, only to put them back once the train has passed.
- Damnoen Saduak Floating Market - Experience the bustling atmosphere of this market, where long-tailed boats brimming with fresh fruits, vegetables, and local delicacies navigate the narrow waterways. Vendors, often donning traditional Thai hats, call out their goods to potential buyers. Here, you can sample local foods and shop for souvenirs.
- Kanchanaburi War Cemetery - This cemetery is the primary burial site for prisoners of war who perished under Japanese imprisonment while constructing the Burma Railway. Located on Saeng Chuto Road in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, it sits next to an older Chinese cemetery.
- Bridge Over the River Kwai - Known as the Death Railway due to the high number of lives lost during its construction, this railway bridge, completed in June 1943, spans the Khwae Noi River. It is famously known as the Bridge on the River Kwai.
