Sawadee ka from Kanchanaburi, a place where Thailand’s natural beauty and deep history come together. Today I stood on the famous Bridge over the River Kwai, a powerful reminder of the past. The nearby JEATH War Museum shares stories that are both heartbreaking and important to remember.

But Kanchanaburi is also full of peace. I took a longtail boat down the river, surrounded by green mountains and birdsong.

Don’t miss Erawan Falls — seven levels of clear, turquoise water. Perfect for hiking, swimming, or just soaking in the moment.

Kanchanaburi touches both heart and soul — quiet, meaningful, and truly unforgettable.
