Highly recommend taking a tour because there's so much to absorb and places to visit and you also don want to miss the train ride....... awesome scenery with mountains plantations river to view. You get to walk to the train tracks and also have a buffet spread overlooking the beautiful river. You get to see the train from this view too. You get to ride the speedboat that brings you to the bridge of River Kwai and get to see the cemetery where those who died building the bridge. Totally worth the trip.

Must really go by tour because there's soooo much to view and so much history..... our tour guide, Oom, was so knowledgeable and truly impress us with the history of the JEATH museum as well as the beautiful scenery when taking the train to Wan Po station to a lovey buffet spread. Don't miss this trip and remember to bring along your sleeping pillow because you get to also snooze on your way home.......

Fantastic tour. Rach our tour guide was informative, friendly and very professional. He ensured we all had an enjoyable experience. Definitely go on the long-tail boat. The views from the train and lunch were amazing. Thanks Rach for an enjoyable day.

I thought the tour was very well-organised from start to end. They got in touch with me the day before to inform me about the pickup point. Instructions were clear. Our guide Rach was fantastic - so knowledgeable about the various places, so attentive to all of us, and also so proactive in helping us take photos. The group was not too big - just 5 in total, and I understand that the guide and the driver do not have certainty in terms of the jobs that they are assigned. I really think this tour ought to be known by a lot more people. Perfect if you’re looking for a day trip outside busy busy Bangkok. Just one thing to note: this package doesn’t include the cost for the longtail boat ride as well as the tourist cabin for the train ride. But the guide will ask if you would like to join these.
