There are 2 ways in getting access to Kanchanaburi, either by train or by car. If you fancy the idea of going by train, you need to approximately spend 5 hours on an extremely slow train with very frequent stops en route to reach Kanchanaburi. While it takes only 2 hours by public bus to get to the town which is about 125 kms. due west of the capital. Air-conditioned buses are available and leave the Southern Bus Station in Bangkok every 15 minutes with the first one at 04.00 am and the last one at 0900 pm.
Kanchanaburi town centre is the last stop of the route. If you arrive the town centre, we can arrange the meeting with you and pick you up from there, or you can take a tricycle or a local truck (better know as Song Taew in Thai) to our office.
Alternatively, transfer by air-conditioned van between Bangkok and Kanchanaburi can be arranged by us. For more details, please look at the transfer service section.
