- LHLukas· May 17th, 2024Great tour with the most friendly Tourguide you can get! We went on the River Kwai & Ancient Thai Kingdoms tour in may 2024 and we loved the insights we received! Our Tourguide, Nai, has been so kind and knowledgeable and really made our experience worth. After a very interesting stop in ayutthaya, where you can experience the summer residence of the King as well as the ancient temples from the old capital the tour moved on to Kanchanaburi where we stayed for two nights. There we were able to experience and swim in the beautiful Erawan Waterfalls, see the Kwai bridge and ride along the infamous Burma Siam Railway. You will also learn a lot about the constructions of the railway during world war 2 where many local workers and Prisoners of War built the railway in 1 year with many casualties due to the difficult terrain and working conditions - the cemetery and the museum a very well kept and very informative. Last but not least, you will also experience the night market where Nai showed us a lot of local specialities that we were eager to taste. Overall and amazing experience that was a perfect way to spend three days around Bangkok. 5/5 well deserved!Show more

- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2025
For all of our Short Breaks trips, you'll enjoy a good level of independence and flexibility, with the added convenience of having the logistics taken care of for you. These trips are designed to include plenty of free time and are not accompanied by a dedicated Trip Leader. All included activities and tours are organized by different local Intrepid partners, which may operate independently of one another. Transfers and activities are conducted on a join-in basis, meaning you may have the experience to yourself, or other travelers could join you along the way.
