Transport — Kanchanaburi

You can take a ride by boarding the train at Saphan Khwae Yai / River Kwai Bridge station at 10:35. It’s always busy here, and you may not get a window seat.

The terminal station is 'Nam Tok'. It takes two hours to get there. Return trains to Kanchanaburi depart at 5:20, 13:00 and 15:30.

There are many stations along the route. The most interesting is 'Thamkra Sae'. It's set in a picturesque spot: the narrow railway runs along the cliffs on a bridge supported by wooden piles. The surroundings are classically Thai — a river, floating houses, fruit orchards, fields and mountains on the horizon. The station has a cave temple with a Buddha statue inside.

From Kanchanaburi station trains depart three times a day (06:02, 10:30 and 16:21), and it’s less crowded. Fare is 100 baht.
