River Kwai and Ayutthaya

The next day Erawan Falls, a waterfall spread over seven levels with natural pools for a relaxing swim. You can climb the different levels for some magnificent views and interesting wildlife.
Then we head to the station in Nam Tok and take a ride on the Death Railway train on the Burma railway. Many prisoners of war worked during the night trying to carve out rocks, build railway embankments and bridges. Today you get the chance to relive history by taking the train ride. Fortunately, the train takes it slow and careful on the dangerous looking wooden bridges, a chance for you to properly take in the sights. In the afternoon we arrive at the Royal River Kwai Resort where we can relax at the pool.

Before traveling to Ayutthaya we pay a visit to the famous Bridge on the River Kwai and the War Cemetery in Kanchanaburi. In Ayutthaya, we visit the remains of the old capital, which in the 17th century was seen as one of the most beautiful cities in all of Asia. The ruins testify to a special and glorious past with over 1700 temples and more than 4000 Buddha images. The tour ends here. At the end of the day, you have the option to take the night train from Ayutthaya to Chiang Mai, take an evening flight or go back to your hotel in Bangkok.
