 Death Bridge of Kanchanaburi by muddybok
Nothing too glorious about this place, but it is quite significant & full with sadness during Japanese occupation period (WW II). Leave a Comment Directions: You can join the Kanchanaburi or 3-in-1 Trip available at any Khoa San Rd tour agents. 2 Hrs drive from Bangkok City.

These blended in with the rest of the building in color and texture...nothing gaudy about them...very subdued coloring...no golds in the facade of Phra Pathom Chedi. Quite a relief after all the glitter in the other wats we visited. Leave a Comment Address: Nakom PathomDirections: On the road back to Bangkok from Damnoen Saduak.

The paint was faded and chipped in some areas but it gave the walls so much character. Leave a Comment

 Phra Pathom Chedi by syllybabe
The original chedi was 84meters high but was in ruins when King Mongkut (Rama IV) first visited when he was still a monk. When he came to the throne, he restored it and covered the old chedi with the new one. Leave a Comment Address: Nakom Pathom

If you are travelling to Bangkok and love animals i would put this on your list. I went there with my sister and we loved it.
Tiger cubs are dumped here after poachers have killed their parents or people who thought they could look after one realise they cannot.
The monks and volunteers look after these magnificent creatures and although for most of the day they are kept in cages until the afternoon when they are walked down to the man made canyon for a swim and photos, they are building an island with donations from tourists so the animals can be free all the time.
Although these are wild animals, the volunteers look after you and you feel completely safe at all times.
It is very hot here about 45 degrees celcius in the canyon on a good day so wear light clothing and do not wear bright colours like pink or blue or red, take plenty of water.
Cost at the temple was 100bht to pat about 6 tigers and 1000 bht to have one lay in your lap.
Water is provided in the canyon while you wait your turn.
Pick up from your hotel, we were at Grand China Princess and i think it cost us about $120 AUD, not including the tiger photos. Directions: We took a bus tour from Bangkok but it is about a half hour from Kanchanaburi. It was a round trip of about 5 hours.

Attractions include the 415km Death Railway built by Allied Prisoners of War (PoW) in World War II under horrific and inhumane conditions; River Kwai Bridge; JEATH war museum; Allied War Cemetery and Hellfire Pass.
For more information on Kanchanaburi, please visit: http://www.kanchanaburi-info.com/en/index.html
I went there by train and returned by bus. I stopped at the ‘Thamkrasae’ train station (a few stops after River Kwai Bridge station) to have lunch and take photos. After that, I took the train back to River Kwai Bridge, and then a taxi to JEATH war museum.
Getting there:
1. Take a boat from Sathorn pier to Thonburi pier, then take a taxi to Thonburi (Bangkok Noi) Railway Station (fare = 35B). Then, take the train to Namtok (fare = 100B).
2. Take a bus from Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal (4.00am - 9.30pm, every 15 min).
Returning to Bangkok:
1. Take a bus from Kanchanaburi Bus Terminal (4.00am - 8.00pm, every 15 min).
Tips:
1. The best way to get to Kanchanburi is by train, using the Death Railway itself.
2. Buy the train ticket all the way to Namtok (the fare, 100B, is the same whether you stop at Kanchanaburi, River Kwai Bridge or Namtok). For the train timetable, please visit: http://www.railway.co.th/English/index.asp.
3. If you are travelling by train, do not get down at the River Kwai Bridge station. Otherwise, you would miss the best part of the train ride i.e. crossing the River Kwai Bridge (the start of the infamous Death Railway to Myanmar).
4. You may want to have dinner in Kanchanaburi before heading back to Bangkok. There is a Food Market near the bus station (from 6:00pm daily) serving a variety of delicious local Thai food.
5. There is a Night Market in Kanchanaburi. On Mon, Thurs, Sat and Sun, it is located near the train station. On Tues, Wed and Fri, it is located near the bus station.
