Hello JG, it's been a while since your last post. You mentioned that you were suffering from Major Depressive Disorder, but you're doing better now. You're planning a trip to Kanchanaburi with your friends, but you're short on time. You're using a walk-in system for your accommodation. You're excited about the trip and you're ready to go.

Let's take a look at a quick itinerary for a trip to Kanchanaburi, starting with a journey on the historic Thai railway. The original plan was to take the train all the way to Kanchanaburi and then rent a car to explore the surrounding areas. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the train arrived in Bangkok very late, forcing a change in plans. Instead, a van was used for transportation. Here's a rough outline of the revised itinerary:



Date 1: Take the train @ Ban Song Station - Bangkok Station, Special Express, 19:50:00 - 5:55:00

Day 2: Take a train from Thon Buri Station to Kanchanaburi Station. The train departs at 7:00 AM and arrives at 10:00 AM. (Kanchanaburi) ***Change to a van.

Note: As I mentioned, the plan is subject to change at any time, depending on the laziness of the traveler. Haha. Please refer to the plan for now, as I may not visit all the places or do everything according to the plan. I missed many places. Hehe.

Day 2: Mini Road Trip Begins

Our mini road trip commenced on the second day. The route followed the black line on the map, with stops along the way. We started from the city center of Kanchanaburi. Renting a car was a bit challenging, with limited options available. I rented from Kanchanaburi Car Rental, which had several terms and conditions and required on-time car return. However, the price was slightly negotiable, and they offered pick-up service from Kanchanaburi Bus Terminal.

Since we arrived in Kanchanaburi at noon, we decided to visit the main attractions nearby. The first stop was the Bridge over the River Kwai, located close to the car rental shop.

After taking photos near the bridge, we drove along Highway 323 towards Sai Yok District.
