What travelers are saying
- Scott Stane6 contributionsThis outing was nothing short of fantastic! Everyone in our group put this experience at the top of our list of what we liked most on our trip.
Gentle giants, for sure! They are well-cared for and are good with all the attention. Everything advertised was included (feeding the elephants throughout, walking with them, mudding and washing them in the river, and being in their graceful presence).
The staff really show that they care for the elephants. Our guide was wonderful in explaining how they live and what they do to help the animals live peaceful lives.

The cemetery is well maintained and has good signage.Written January 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marita SAlberta, Canada14 contributionsWe walked over the bridge and at the time had not read about the history yet. You can walk all the way across the river and take stairs down tge other side to get a good view.
Remarkable history! We read about it later and went to the war museum for additional information.Written November 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- frasercameronLondon, UK105 contributionsAn alternative to an organised tour is simply to hire a car which can take 3 people for about 4,000 TB. This means you can leave when you want and not bother collecting people from hotels in Bangkok. The direct drive is just over two hours and if you do the cemetery, death museum and a walk on the bridge that is another two hours - so the whole trip can be done in 6-7 hours instead of 10 or more by tour groups.Written January 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ron HColo Vale, Australia476 contributionsMy trip to Hellfire Pass was amazing we did a private tour and our guide walked us through the area and then a short a/c car ride to a local Thai restaurant for lunch (included) then onto the train to go over the last wooden bridge then back into the car to Kwai River Bridge and the Australian cemetery then back to Bangkok total trip was about 12 hrs and cost us $120 each included lunch, as much water as we could drink car rides train ride the tour guide entry into Hellfire experience and return to motel. (seriously the best way to do this otherwise you are driving around in a bus picking up heaps of people and then rushed at the sites.Written January 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Napassakron SNakhon Pathom, Thailand5 contributionsThis trip, I take my family and children to go to the zoo. But certify that the zoo that we will take this time will be different from other places, of course, because tourists who visit the zoo will be able to get close to the animals of that kind. "Hugging a giraffe's neck, taking a selfie walking the tiger Feed the tiger by hand, which if anyone who has come to visit here is guaranteed to have fun, excitement, smiles, laughter and there are many animal shows to see.Written January 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John W454 contributionsThis market is principally for locals. Tourists are catered for, but there are very few souvenir and no handicraft stalls. The food sections are varied and plentiful, but it's all takeaway; hardly any seating. It is an authentic Thai night market, bustling and lively.Written March 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand3,299 contributionsMany reviewers have confused this war cemetery with the larger Kanchanaburi War Cemetery in the center of Kanchanaburi. The Chong Kai Allied War Cemetery is across the river from the main part of Kanchanaburi city. It has many fewer graves than the Kanchanaburi cemetery, with about 1400 Commonwealth soldiers and 300-400 Dutch soldiers interred. The site of the Chong Kai cemetery was actually a camp for workers on the Death Railway and a location where POWs had established a hospital and church. Many of the soldiers buried in this cemetery had been treated at the POW hospital on site. The cemetery is beautifully maintained and very peaceful.Written May 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Smoggy1986Chonburi, Thailand149 contributionsAs we were stopping near to Kanchanaburi anyway, decided to have a drive here & check it out. Quite enjoyable & when we visited the place was almost deserted, so we could take our time & have a really good look around.
It was built as a religious Temple containing many artefacts from the Bayon Khmer period, strongly resembling those in Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
The Park consists of 4 monuments & also a small display room.
We spent between 1-2 hours here & that is plenty of time to walk round & have a good look at everything.Written January 4, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pae_SuphapornKamphaeng Saen, Thailand2 contributionsThe temple is a beautiful applied Khmer art. It is a forest temple in the midst. The hug of the mountain has a shady atmosphere.
