Explore the historical significance and natural beauty of Kanchanaburi with the River Kwai Bridge and Elephant Bathing Day Tour from Bangkok. This immersive experience allows you to delve into Thailand's rich history while also getting up close and personal with these majestic creatures.
The tour begins with a comfortable air-conditioned van ride from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi, a scenic town located about 130 kilometers west of the capital city. As you make your way through the countryside, your knowledgeable guide will provide you with interesting facts and stories about the region.
Upon arrival in Kanchanaburi, you will first visit the famous River Kwai Bridge, an iconic landmark that holds great historical significance. Built during World War II by prisoners of war, the bridge is a reminder of the hardships and sacrifices made during that time. Take a leisurely stroll across the bridge, marveling at its impressive structure and soaking in the tranquil views of the river below.
Next, you will embark on a memorable elephant bathing experience. Get ready to get wet as you join these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Learn about their behavior and habits from experienced mahouts (elephant caretakers) who will guide you through the process. Watch as the elephants playfully splash water and roll around in the river, creating a truly unforgettable sight.
After the elephant bathing session, you will have the opportunity to interact with these magnificent creatures up close. Feed them their favorite treats and feel the gentle touch of their trunks as they graciously accept your offerings. This hands-on experience allows you to forge a deep connection with these intelligent animals and gain a newfound appreciation for their conservation.
As the day comes to an end, enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant, savoring the flavors of authentic Thai cuisine. After lunch, take some time to explore the local market, where you can shop for souvenirs and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere.
Finally, bid farewell to Kanchanaburi as you board the van for your return journey to Bangkok. Reflect on the day's experiences and marvel at the beauty and resilience of both the historical River Kwai Bridge and the gentle elephants.

Get away from the busy city and immerse yourself in the beauty of Bangkok's untouched nature with this one day tour. In the morning, you'll meet up with your guide and group at the lobby of the Adagio Bangkok Hotel. Once everyone's all settled, hop inside the air-conditioned van and make your way to Malika R.E 124, a recreation of a Thai town circa 1905 that takes you back to the time of Rama V. Your next stop is the Kanchanaburi River Kwai Bridge, with its iconic Three Pagodas that support the train line that runs for 250 miles. Soak in the picturesque sight of the cerulean-blue waters that are bordered by lush greenery and a colorful house every now and then. If time permits, you'll then go for a train ride on the Thai-Burma Railway, dubbed as the Death Railway due to the number of slaves and prisoners of war that died as it was being constructed. During the ride, you'll go over the famous Thamkra Sae, a wooden trailway bridge surrounded by the tall trees. Take a quick break for lunch at a nearby restaurant, at your own expense, before you visit the Kanchanaburi Elephant Camp and meet the cute and cuddly elephants. Spend some time playing with the elephants and bathing them in the river (they're probably even going to spray you with some water as a sign of fun!), then hop on a bamboo raft and enjoy a few moments of serenity as you drink up the awesome view of Kanchanaburi River from a new perspective. After having fun with the elephants and the boat ride, you'll then change into dry clothing, before you pack up and head back to the city.
