Kanchanaburi Daytrip Idea's
 
Hello,

We are doing a daytrip from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi with a private guide next week and I wanted to see what everyone recommended what we should/can fit in with one day (we are willing to stretch it to 12-14 hour day). We want to see the Floating Market, Tiger Temple, River Kwai Bridge, Hellfire Pass, Ride the train, etc. Can we fit all this in all in one day? We are not interested in riding elephants or rafting since we are doing this in Chiang Mai. Any advice would be appreciated! Our guide mentioned the waterfalls somewhere also.

no problem if you start out early about 6:30AM...

The War Cemetery is very much worth a visit as is The JEATH Museum. It will be a long day but certainly do-able.

We've done a similar trip in one long day. If you leave early enough, its possible.
