Kanchanaburi is Thailand’s 3rd largest province lying 130 kilometres to the west, and a comfortable short 3-hour drive from Bangkok.
Kanchanaburi is famous as the site of the world-famous Bridge Over The River Kwai, immortalised in books and movies.
Beyond the compact provincial capital, where the Kwai Yai and the Kwai Noi rivers unite to form the Mae Klong River, Kanchanaburi unfolds into a rugged beautiful landscape characterized by waterfalls, caves and tranquil riverside settings. A sparsely populated province much of which has been preserved in National parks, Kanchanaburi is a treat for nature lovers and cyclists.

Trip Profile
Starting in Bangkok, we first visit the sites of Kanchanaburi Town before starting our ride at Prasat Muang Sing, a Khmer temple that dates back to the Angkorian period of the 12th Century.
The riding on this trip will take in stunning countryside, small Thai villages, teak plantations, and jungle trails. Red laterite roads contrast beautifully with the green of the jungle and blue skies.
The scenery is awe-inspiring with limestone cliffs punctuating a mountainous skyline that rolls towards Burma in the west. Our riding ends at Hellfire Pass, and there will also be time for a ride on the exciting Death Railway before returning to Bangkok.
