This is the second time we've been to Kanchanaburi. The trip came up unexpectedly when my colleagues decided they wanted to go on a trip. We chose Kanchanaburi because it's close, easy to get to, and it's already winter.

While a two-hour drive would have sufficed, we opted for a more leisurely train journey, despite the cost (we had previously declined a free ride).

The train station is bustling with tourists, both domestic and international, who have come to enjoy the cool weather. The seats are already full, indicating the high volume of travelers.

You can come here early to offer food to the monks. There's plenty of time, as the train doesn't leave until 7:50 AM.

Ticket collected. Please keep it safe as it will be checked later.

Third-class carriages are not air-conditioned and only have fans. However, during our journey, the temperature dropped, so it was not hot at all. We were able to sit and chat without feeling bored.

The view along the way

It doesn't matter if it arrives or not.

The left side of the train offers scenic views, but be prepared for direct sunlight.

Onboard the train, a variety of food and beverages are available for purchase, including rice dishes, noodles, water, snacks, and fruits. Passengers who have not had breakfast can conveniently purchase their desired items.

Let's share the seats. There are a lot of tourists today.

The train arrived at Namtok Station at 13:05, 25 minutes behind schedule (originally scheduled for 12:35). This delay is acceptable.

Grab a bite to eat at a restaurant near the train station before checking into your accommodation.

That's enough for now, I'm getting hungry.

The same as before, if anyone wants to visit the waterfall, they can take a shared taxi for 20 baht per person. However, we did not go to the waterfall but to a floating raft house. We used the same shared taxi service as before (น้องติว 061-4632776) and chartered it to the raft house for 700 baht. This price included a stop at the Khao Khaad Cave Museum before checking in (however, there was an activity at the raft house at 3:00 PM to pull the raft to the waterfall, so we rushed to check in because we were short on time).

At almost 3:00 PM, we checked in and immediately changed our clothes to board the raft. The other tourists were already waiting.

The room was not photographed at all because as soon as I entered, I threw my bag down, changed my clothes, and the room was immediately in disarray. 555 I only took photos again when I checked out. I saw the housekeeper cleaning the room next door, so I took a picture of it for you.

The room is air-conditioned and can accommodate four guests. Towels, soap, and shampoo are provided. There is no TV or refrigerator. If you plan to stay, please bring a cooler, snacks, and drinks to enjoy in front of your room.

Ready to set sail together.....

As mentioned, we arrived late, so all the shaded seats with roofs were taken. All that was left were seats in the front, facing the sun.

The long-tailed boat will pull us through many floating markets.

This wet paper looks fun to play with.

The boat will tow tourists to a specific point, I can't remember where, a little past the Sai Yok Yai Waterfall. Tourists will then jump into the water, and the boat will wait for them downstream as they float with the current.

Having a great time.

Those on the raft, if you don't want to get off, can I at least take a picture?

After everyone had gotten out of the water, they went to the waterfall.

Wherever there is a waterfall, there will be a floating market nearby.

Officials will tie the raft to the waterfall and allow tourists on the boat to play in the water.

Great fun, I must say.

Typically, playing in waterfalls requires swimming to reach them. However, this new invention allows individuals who cannot swim to enjoy the experience.

It's a lot of fun and a definite highlight of the area. If you're visiting, don't miss it, or you'll regret it.

When it was time to return, we did (I would like to add that if anyone is coming with elderly people or small children, it is recommended to bring a towel because on the way back, it was very cold and I was almost shivering).

The round trip took 3 hours. It was fun and worthwhile. By the time we got back, we had just enough time to shower, change clothes, and have dinner.

After finishing their meal, they sat down to chat and listen to music in front of their room.

Lying down, gazing at the stars, letting time slow down - that's all it takes to find happiness.

As night fell, it was time to retire for the evening. Zzzzzz

Good morning, bright new day.

The cool air was so refreshing that it felt a bit chilly.

A thin mist intermittently drifted across the water's surface.

Many people are still sleeping soundly, lulled by the sound of running water, which resembles the pitter-patter of rain. This soothing sound has them drifting peacefully in their slumber. ^_^

The members are starting to wake up.

This is an empty paragraph.

Some went back to sleep on the balcony.

When it was time, we went to have breakfast.

After breakfast, many people may have left, but we continued to immerse ourselves in nature for as long as possible.

Gazing at the view, uploading photos (I must say, the 5G wifi here is much faster than at home, haha).

At 12:00 p.m., we checked out and arranged for the same car to pick us up. Feeling hungry, we stopped for a bite to eat at the less crowded Sai Yoi Waterfall.

Some play in the waterfalls.

Fortunately, there is plenty of water this year, so we can see the clear and cool waterfalls.

When the time came, we took a bus back to Bangkok from the bus terminal. The short trip was enjoyable and fun. Traveling was not difficult, and it is possible to travel without a car. The total cost, including food, was less than 2,000 baht.

Charging up before tackling the next task. See you later!
