Hotels in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand

Kanchanaburi Province in western Thailand has a tropical climate with hot temperatures year-round (80-95°F / 27-35°C). It's famous for the Bridge on the River Kwai from World War II, where you can walk the railway and visit the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre museum. The cool season from November to February is perfect for hiking to the seven-tiered Erawan Falls in Erawan National Park, while the rainy season from June to October brings lush green jungles and cheaper rafting trips on the Kwai River. For a different vibe, stick to the town area for night markets and war history, then head into the national parks for waterfalls and elephant sanctuaries.
