Kanchanaburi & The River Kwai
Though not a beach, many backpackers are taking advantage of the laid-back river vibe of Kanchanaburi to explore a new culture and pay respect to an infamous historical site. Kanchanaburi is located at the crossing of the river Kwai Noi and Kwai Yai in the west of Thailand. The bridge that crosses over the river Kwai has been immortalized in history books, a movie and a book titled The Bridge Over the River Kwai.
