Kanchanaburi is one of the best destinations near Bangkok

Here’s what you can get up to in one day in Kanchanaburi when you have a motorbike or car and can get around on your own. We rented the bamboo raft from an old lady we saw when we randomly stopped to take photos of the river. Had we taken a taxi we’d have never seen her. We spent three nights there in Kanchanaburi, this was our first day.
