Pattaya Express
Taxi and individual transfer to Kanchanaburi
Kanchanaburi is a few hours from Bangkok and known all over the world. It is rich in history, especially of the Second World War, and loved by those who like nature. The province has seven national parks: Erawan, Chalerm Rattana Kosin, Sai Yok, Khao Laem, Sri Nakarin Dam, Thong Pha Phum and Lam Klong Ngu.
Sai Yok is among the best known with Thais, because King Rama V visited its waterfalls in 1888 and his brother wrote a song about their beauty. It became the 19th national park of Thailand in 1980. Many visitors take the train from Kanchanaburi to Namtok station; the Sai Yok waterfall is about 2 km from there and falls into the Khwae Noi river. You can see it from the bridge or from a boat, and raft down the river between rapids, limestone canyons and sandy beaches.
Caves and bats
The best known caves are Daowadueng, which has eight chambers named after their look (one is the curtain chamber), and Lawa, 485 metres deep with a small entrance and a large chamber full of stalactites and stalagmites. Traces of ancient human life were found in it.
With luck you will see Kitti's hog-nosed bat, thought to be the smallest mammal in the world at 1.5 to 2 grams. It lives only in the caves of Sai Yok.
Visitor information
Entry to the park is 300 THB for an adult and 200 THB for a child. It is open daily from 06:00 to 18:00, and there are rooms and a camp site.
